How plausible are we talking, here? *g* Also, do they have to be students?
Maybe Rodney accompanies John to Europe after the siege, because John is bound and determined to visit all the families of the dead soldiers - and one of the men who died was from Ireland, It is a multi-national force, after all. And while they're there, Rodney wants to see his old tutor, Professor O'Donnell, who is now head of the physics department at Trinity.
Or: Rodney did a JYA year (do they do that in Canada? Did Rodney go to university in Canada, for that matter?) at Trinity, and John was, um, backpacking around Europe. They meet in some comical fashion, and wackiness (as psychopepsquad says) ensues.
Or: Aliens give them freaky drugs, and make them think they are back on Earth! For some reason, they end up in "Trinity". More wackiness.

I have no idea, though I bet the answer to the first question is yes. But I need more backstory, dammit!

There need to be more "Aliens give them freaky drugs and make them think they are back on Earth" stories. Or episodes! Or both!

What sort of backstory are you looking for?

Oh, definitely. Although I don't think anyone will ever manage it as... freakily as Farscape.

I think that's why it's so funny. God, I hope that's why it's so funny...

Awww. Maybe you'll get the chance soon? It's not one of my favourite shows, but I've seen a fair amount of it, and it had great fun doing some really interesting envelope-pushing. There's a lot of stuff people said you couldn't get away with in sci-fi TV - but hey, it turns out that maybe you can! Worth watching, anyway.
