Summary: An accident leads a U.S. Marshal and a teenage girl (who later is revealed to be his daughter) to a peculiar town populated by scientists and their families where 10-year-old boys are in 11th grade, the local diner doesn't believe in menus, and E=MC² was just the beginning. Just as the Marshal starts to get settled into the swing of things, a local scientist develops a bomb that seems to appear anywhere and eats all the matter around it.

MISTAKES/GOOFS

CONT: When Allison Blake is with Jack Carter talking to Warren King Carter's '5 PM shadow' magically vanishes between the scene where he pops the Division Softball Team joke and the next in the lab where the trees and cows are being examined.
CHAR: When Carter checks into Beverly's B&B and he turns away her line of questioning about his marriage saying he needs a nap and a shower, she says, "Pleasant dreams, Sheriff Carter." Obviously he's still a Marshall - although this might be foreshadowing.
CONT: When the 'bubble' hits the trailer with the boy and the dog inside, the expression on the dog changes dramatically between shots (between snarling and neutral).
FACT: Allison and Briggs argue about jurisdictional control, when in fact both of them are under DoD jurisdiction.
CONT: Jim Taggart's scar is seen on his left cheek on the pilot episode, but is seen on his right cheek all other times.

TRIVIA

Fun fact: The license plate number of Taggart's jeep has NACL as part of the license plate number. Na is the scientific symbol for the element sodium, and Cl is the scientific symbol for the element chloride, which together, NaCl, makes sodium chloride, also known as salt.
The character Susan is reading 'Ervin Lazlo''s book 'Science and the Akashic Field: an Integral Theory of Everything' (ISBN #1594770425) in bed in the Pilot's opening.
The large 3-barreled rifle carried by Deputy Lupo is the same prop used for a military firearm by various Pegasus galaxy human groups (most notably the Genii) in another SciFi show Stargate Atlantis.
The Jeep where the Marshal is kept prisoner does not have a state license plate. The plate only reads "Eureka" other than the matriculation number.
