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?

Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"
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.

If that was their strategy, they would not have hid the light of Aeryn Sun under a bushel -- er, ugly black helmet.

Would've worked on me.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Also, The PKs got their decorating ideas from a school of Soviet art (constructivist? Something-ist).
According to Claudia Black's ep commentary, the PK aesthetic seems to have been lifted wholesale from the W hotel in Sydey.

What is a W hotel?

W Hotels. It's a worldwide chain that uses a lot of black and red in their decor.

Hmm. I turn on my TV, and it's tells me, "Mansquito. Next on Sci-fi." And I feel compelled to watch, even though I read the PnW. I'm pretty sure there's something deeply wrong with me.

I am shocked. Shocked, I tell you.
Hee. Oh, those wacky writers.
Betsy, I wrote a story about the name issue: it's here. [link]
There really isn't a rule, except that Pilot is more formal than the others because he's considered a "servicer", even if not a slave after the escape. He calls Crichton 'Commander', and Aeryn 'Officer Sun', and Rygel 'Dominar', long after everyone else stopped being formal.
Luxan names are structured like Chinese names, so D'Argo is D'Argo's personal name, Ka his family name. His son's name would be Ka Jothee.

Somewhat random tangent--
I was so grateful that the Peacekeeper Wars mini-series was so good. What a relief to see that closure and to know I had been a tiny part of helping it to happen.
Warm fuzzies!
