Line #26 Trivia/Eureka


1	* ActorAllusion
2	** The episode where Henry had to deal [[Franchise/{{Terminator}} with a psychotic artificial intelligence he helped create]].
3	** Creator/WilWheaton [[WebVideo/TheGuild is Fargo's romantic rival for]] Creator/FeliciaDay.
4	** Creator/MichaelShanks is [[Series/StargateSG1 an unpopular history-obsessed scientist whose unconventional theories are ridiculed by his peers]].
5	** Two in "The Ex-Files". An obvious one is when Dr. Grant, played by Creator/JamesCallis, claims that he's hallucinating "a leggy blond in a slinky, red dress"; a nod to his role as Dr. Gaius Baltar in the remake of ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica\|2003}}'' who really was followed around by such a hallucination. [[spoiler: A subtler one occurs when Carter calls his hallucination of Nathan Stark "undead" leading it to reply "Nope, not a vampire". Creator/EdQuinn appeared as a vampire on ''Series/TrueBlood'' for a few episodes after leaving the show.]]
6	** In "The Real Thing," Holly (Creator/FeliciaDay) is attacked by a dragon. Creator/FeliciaDay played Tallis in ''WebVideo/DragonAgeRedemption'' and ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' DLC.
7	* CrossDressingVoices: Creator/NeilGrayston, who plays Fargo, also voices SARAH the smart house. {{Lampshaded}} in-universe: Fargo's voice is a temporary solution while he waits to hear back from Creator/SarahMichelleGellar's people.
8	* TheDanza: Senator Michaela Wen is played by Creator/MingNaWen.
9	* DawsonCasting: In the episode with the isolation environment. Wound up making the "long distance relationship" going on there really creepy. Completely averted by Zoe, however (Creator/JordanHinson is actually about two months ''younger'' than her character). During the pilot Hinson was 13 playing 15, but, by the time of the series she was closer to her character's age.
10	* DirectedByCastMember:
11	** Creator/ColinFerguson directed the episodes "Your Face Or Mine", "The Story Of O2", and "In Too Deep".
12	** Creator/JoeMorton directed the episodes "Have an Ice Day", "Stoned", and "The Honeymooners".
13	** Creator/SalliRichardsonWhitfield directed the episodes "Omega Girls" and "Worst Case Scenario".
14	* FakeNationality: Canadian/American Creator/MattFrewer as an Australian. Conversely, Creator/JamesCallis and Creator/ChrisGauthier are English; Creator/ColinFerguson, Creator/EricaCerra, Creator/NiallMatter and Creator/NeilGrayston are all Canadian. They [[FakeAmerican all play American characters]].
15	* KilledByRequest: [[spoiler:Creator/EdQuinn asked for Nathan to be killed off going into Season 3, because he felt there wasn't much more material the writers could do with the character and he would rather go out on top with a HeroicSacrifice than stick around in the background having little to do.]]
16	* TheOtherDarrin:
17	** Kevin was first played by Meshach Peters in the first two seasons. After the character was PutOnTheBus for season 3, he returned for seasons 4 and 5, now played by Trevor Jackson.
18	** Andy is played by Creator/TyOlsson in his first two appearances before being replaced by Creator/KavanSmith. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in-universe as Andy's body is destroyed by positronic lightning in his second appearance, and the characters note that he needs to be "re-skinned".
19	* RealLifeRelative: The actor who plays Allison's brother Marcus is Dondre Whitfield, husband of Creator/SalliRichardsonWhitfield. Makes this bit of dialogue sort of meta-Heartwarming.
20	-->'''Allison''': Jack Carter might not have the highest IQ in town, but he's the smartest man I know.\
21	'''Marcus''': He married you, didn't he?
22	* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Lowjack was supposed to have a much bigger part, until they realized how hard and expensive working with dogs was.
23	* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Creator/{{Syfy}} ordered season six and there were rumors it'd be the last season. Then they said the cancellation rumors were false and they looked forward to more. Then they took back season six and cancelled the show for real. Luckily, they then ordered an extra episode of season five to wrap the series up.
