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.
I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

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.
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.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

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

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Oh, so that's where all the refugee Soviets ended up!

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.
Awww, Jonas. waves

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
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!

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
On a different note, I just finished off the last episode of DS9. Damn, that was good, although they should have deep sixed (deep nined?) the memory segment if they weren't going to be able to use any Terry Ferrell scenes - it was borderline obscene that Worf (at least) wouldn't have any memories of her in connection with the station. I remembered it was a bittersweet ending, but I'd fogotten just how meloncholy it was.
Also, I just love that they had to cojones to have as perverse and dark a character as Garak be one of the ostensible good guys, not kill him off heroically, and never really let you forget how potentially nasty he could be.
Although they were completely different in action and tone, Garak's very last scene in "What You Leave Behind" really somehow reminds me of Lorne's very last scene in "Not Fade Away".

Electromagnetic candy! - Stark
Almost the only person (if you can call him that) who calls Crais "Bialar" is the energy vampire with the amazingly poncey outfits (which, actually, I'm rather envious of. I can pull off poncey with a side of menace) - Maldis.
The taunting use of first-name familiarity to an already-deranged mind.
