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.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Can't complain about the leather. Also, The PKs got their decorating ideas from a school of Soviet art (constructivist? Something-ist). So they come by their disciplinarian aesthetic honestly. Sadly, we never got to actually read any PK propaganda, because I find propaganda (especially in translation) about the funniest thing evar.
killing your senior staff tends to give you senior staff who are afraid of saying no
Anyway, even if you kill off some of your senior staff in a tragic, unintentional bathtub accident, you're likely to have drowned some good staffing talent. When I am arrested/entering a diplomatic conference/testifying before Congress, I want my wingman to be a wicked smart lawyer, not my second cousin.
Look, any society that decorates in red and black and puts its soldiers into black leather ... is okay by me.
Doesn't hurt that said soldiers looked like Claudia Black and Alex Dimitriades, either.
And Lani Tupu.
All I have to say, is if they're more dangerous than they are pretty, then damn!
Maybe that played into their strategy... opposing troops would be so busy gawking at the sexy leather-clad soldiers that they'd forget to fire until it was too late?
If that was their strategy, they would not have hid the light of Aeryn Sun under a bushel -- er, ugly black helmet.

According to Claudia Black's ep commentary, the PK aesthetic seems to have been lifted wholesale from the W hotel in Sydey.
W Hotels. It's a worldwide chain that uses a lot of black and red in their decor.
Oh, so that's where all the refugee Soviets ended up!
