The cavalier and callous way the scientists talk about killing a sentient and unique being (resurrected Kim) is just unbelievable. This not just stretches credibility but makes everyone but Henry monstrously unlikable.
The resurrected Kim storyline was ridiculous as it was but the complete lack of even a sliver of humanity make this a terribly written episode.
The secondary plot about the on-land drownings is scientifically equally ludicrous but at least the drama is sound.
And to be clear: the science is almost always wacky and plane wrong in Eureka. But as long as the characters act in a believable way it's entertaining.
This episode fails across the board.
