This worked for Francesca Buller.

There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists.
I saw no indifference. They all acted like very smart people who suddenly knew this was serious. None of the characters are the panicy type. It seems to me that when you are in a situation where you are aware that your mortality quotient just went up and you are suddenly sealed off from each other, you aren't going to focus on the death of someone you barely know. You are going to think about yourself first, then those around you.
I was actually talking about the end of the episode; they are all chirpy and witty and hanging out with SARAH and there was no acknowledgement that she had just fuckin' killed someone.

Sounds fair to me. Stark has Fargo and Jo is more of an equal than a minion.

exxxxxcellent! :P
This worked for Francesca Buller.
but hopefully without all the prosthetics
The Stark/Henry conversation brought some great depth to both characters. Stark is easily becoming the most complex character on the show and EQ nails it.
I couldn't agree more. Also, I melt everytime EQ uses his "I need to know" voice.
hanging out with SARAH and there was no acknowledgement that she had just fuckin' killed someone.
because it was BRAD, who I assume was disabled? But can you remove a program if that's what SARAH's built on top of?
When Jack was out sick and Jo was off playing paintball, who was left to guard the town?
Shoot, who's their backup if they get in a jam? Allison and the GD task force? But as for this ep, Jo had her pager on her, so maybe she was on-call, and that's normal? All calls to the station get directed to her pager? Or maybe it's "when the cats are away..." and Jo was being a very delinquint deputy.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
When Jack was out sick and Jo was off playing paintball, who was left to guard the town? I sure hope there is at least one more deputy we have not met yet.
That didn't bother me at all. Lots of small towns don't have complete 24/7 coverage with their police force. The next town over from mine has no police force at all. They have just a single town constable. Jo was on-call, and had her pager with her. As someone said, the main potential trouble spot already has their own security force.
Meanwhile, I thought we had come to the conclusion that the medicine on House, M.D. is so ... unreliable... as to qualify as science fiction, and therefore the show qualified for discussion here.
The team make lots of mistakes in diagnosis, but that doesn't make the medicine science fiction, it just makes the show very formulaic. Polite Dissent usually gives the medicine decent marks for accuracy.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
re House: Yeah, the biggest complaint is that these "cures" take a whole lot longer in real life, aren't necessarily as restorative as portrayed, and especially diagnostically-inclined doctors don't do all these complicated procedures and surgeries which take years of training in specializations themselves. (It's like asking a plumber to fix your electrical outlet....)

Welcome machall (and littlebug!)
This worked for Francesca Buller.
I was thinking the same thing, but now I'm recasting FARSCAPE with the EUREKA cast.
Colin as Crichton, natch (you can never go wrong with black leather).
Ed as D'Argo - no, wait - Joe as D'Argo; Ed as Scorpy (sorry Ed)
Or maybe Ed as D'Argo and Joe as Pilot?
Fargo as Rygel
Taggert as Stark?
I guess Allison has to be Aeryn, even though I think Jo's closer. But Jo would make a decent Chiana in a pinch (although so could Zoe).
Guess that leaves Debrah as Zhaan?
