A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Not to get all spoily, but the social structure of native PKs is such that one Sun is probably related to another. And, there are lots and lots and lots of them. And, a serious shortage of names.
I don't understand -- when you say matronymic is a problem, do you mean they're more screwed than a patronymic society? I don't get how that's a big deal.

You win some, you lose some.
I taped an episode once, a couple of years back. Jool was what put me off making any more serious effort to catch the show.
FWIW, Jool did get a little better.
I don't remember what my key point was. Except that Too Many Suns, in a group that identifies members solely by last name, was a crappy idea. If you're doing a forced breeding experiment anyway, why not give the kids unique number last names or something?
Way to make HR's job harder than it already is!

To start with, the PKs were evil.
Woof. Their annual reviews had to be hilarious, in that ritual suicide involving intestines way.
But, like, there is evil and then there is instutitionalized cruelty to your own employees. I much prefer my evil to be a united front, you know?
Yes, my wish is to be a shareholder-employee of evil.
