They skipped "A Bug's Life" -- went straight from "Through the Looking Glass" to "Nerve".

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Wow, that makes no sense at all. I mean, you can skip TTLG, but A Bug's Life and Nerve are in a lot of ways a two-parter -- the one follows directly on the other timewise and logicwise. Swift move, SciFi!

A Bug's Life is the first one where we have Crichton pretending to be a Peacekeeper, right?
I think that they showed it yesterday.

I think so. In the leather coat and acting all arrogant and getting into a testosterone fest with Visiting Peacekeeper Hottie. If this is the episode I think it is, I have fond memories of it.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I think "Bug's Life" is the one where Moya gets boarded by a bunch of asshat (but hot!) Peacekeepers with some cargo that turns out to be a paranoia parasite or some such. Aeryn gets seriously wounded at the end of that, I think, and then in "Nerve" Crichton gets to don Peacekeeper leather fetish gear and for some cracked reason starts speaking in a bad British accent, which makes no goddamned sense because hello? Translator microbes? But Crichton looks smokin' hot in leather for which I can forgive a lot.

Well, they definitely showed an episode (which I only watched part of -- I may have fallen asleep -- head cold, you know) yesterday where Crichton put on a faux-Brit accent.
Today they have Nerve and now they're having the follow-up to Nerve immediately afterwards. (Thank goodness!)

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Well, yes, with the illogic and the leather pants. Point being, ABL sets up both Crichton's motivation for sneaking into the base, and the means for him to do so (Chiana had stolen Dead Psycho Guy's ident chip). Nerve without ABL makes about as much sense as Hidden Memory without Nerve. Which is, not much.

Eh, I wouldn't go that far. All you really need to know from ABL for Nerve is (a) Aeryn got stabbed; (b) Chiana stole the ident key; (c) there's a PK base nearby.
Everything else is gravy. Whereas The Hidden Memory is very much part 2 of Nerve.
And I haven't checked SciFi's schedulebot, but I heard they were running the entire 88 episodes, 8 eps a day, for 11 days. So I doubt they skipped any.
Thanks for the link, Mickie! t right-clicks

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Well, there's the part of "Who thought Crichton should try leather pants, and why?" and "How do they know to look for that base?" and "How does Crichton have any idea how to act like a PK specialist, much less what kinds of protocols to follow?" and, most importantly for the characters, I should think, "Why do both Crichton and Aeryn blame themselves for Aeryn's injury?"
I suppose, if you really had to, you could squeeze an episode in between them, but they are sequential and not freestanding of each other. (Though you're right that it makes even less sense for Nerve and HM to be broken up. They're pretty explicitly a pair.)
