Yes, this is an excellent point. Fraser, especially, changes pretty noticeably over the course of the series (as you would, over three-plus years of your life, especially if your life is as chaotic as Fraser's--hee). His time in Chicago marks him, for better and for worse, and the episodes you cite are perfect illustrations of that. Great point, thanks for bringing it up. :)
