Yes, same scripts, with things like "prat" changed to "jerk"
Not precisely word for word--they had to lose 8 minutes on each episode. And they'd given up on the verbatim-minus-some approach by episode 4, but that was way too late.
Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
were also transplants.
Also, Queer as Folk. Which worked for me, but not for all, as such things go.

I thought it kinda worked til they stopped using Russell T. Davies storylines and started relying on the creative genius of Cowan & Lipman instead.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Wow, did that intelligent house gag in tonight's Eureka ever get old in a hurry. Fargo needs to go back to selling knick-knacks in Niagara Falls. I also didn't buy Real!Susan's transformation into caring mother. And worst of all, with thirty major league baseball teams to choose from the best SARAH can come up with to entertain Jack is some fictional team in Indiana? Indiana?!? My belief is rapidly becoming unsuspended.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

The Mouthbreather! That's who Fargo was! It was driving me crazy.
I thought of you when they showed the Indiana team, Ed. That bugged me as well.

I mean, if they were worried that MLB would come after them for retransmitting the accounts, descriptions, and (especially) trademarks of an actual team, just don't name a frelling team. Then everyone is happy. They went from technobabble to baseballbabble.

Our wings are not tired.
Hmm. I watched, but was distracted easily so didn't watch closely. I missed the dog if he was there. Still like Jack, Henry, Jo, Allison. Didn't mind that Zoe was missing most of the episode. The house was momentarily fun and amusing. Not so much to keep going on and on with it.
Baseball thing went over my head. Sorry baseball dudes.
I think not!zombie!wifey could have been done much better. Didn't buy the transformation either. I wasn't interested in Allison's hubby either.
Need to rewatch with more focus before next week. There is enough likeable that I'll be back for more. I'm easily distracted so it's tough for me to sit through a show. The pilot held my attention. This one was losing me. I'm still interested enough to want to see where they are headed.

Hmm, I guess I enjoyed it more than the rest of you, although mainly for Colin's exasperation. The baseball thing didn't ping me at all (and really, what would one expect from a computer programmed by Fargo).
I did have issues with the whole change of heart thing, but I figured they were going to go that way (and I'm glad they didn't at the point I thought they would i.e. the scene in the car).
The husband sorta reminded me of Hart Bochner in DIE HARD, except, sadly, not Hart Bochner. Jury's still out on the character.
It certainly wasn't great, but it was an enjoyable time-waster. Not a surprise as an early-days episode. I don't think it was any worse than some of the Buffy season 1 low-lights, for example.

Art Crawl!!!
So that was supposed to be a pro-ball game? I assumed when they said Indiana that it was college.
Okay, I enjoyed the episode. I liked that the "ghost" was a result of stuff that happened last week.
