Also, what's the deal with Jool? She's not playing very important roles in the episodes, so it's not like it's an arc concentrated on her. She's not in the main credits, so she's not intended as a full replacement for Zhaan--at least not yet. It's like she's a junior cast member? | Also, what's the deal with Jool?

I've seen a review elsewhere of this episode say Crichton seems particularly cold in his treatment of this Pilot. I disagree. Yes he's become a harder character overall, but here he's just trying to slap some sense into this Pilot, not just for his own good but for the Pilot's good. Pilot certainly can't get up and leave, so his only chance for survival is to try to get rid of his monstrous inhabitants, as John is trying to get him to do. | |||

(First watched ) | (First watched 2010-08-18) BIG Scorpius backstory. Actually earns him some sympathy if he was being forthright about all this. STILL, doesn't change the fact that he's a dick in the present. And just because he's got a personal reason to hate the Scarrans doesn't necessarily convince me or pseudo-John that things would overall be better with the Peacekeepers in possession of wormhole technology. Perhaps given different birthing circumstances Scorpius would've been messed with by the Peacekeepers and ended up going entirely the opposite direction. | ||
Head count. | |||
2 "equal and original" John Crichtons. | |||
2 in-head Scorpiuses contained within those John Crichtons, remnants of neuro-chip copies. | |||
1 living Scorpius. | |||
1 neuro-chip remnant of John that was burnt out in this episode; perhaps something of it remains in Scorpius as happened with the reverse? But it didn't have nearly as long to affect his mind. | |||
1 living D'Argo | |||
1 dead D'Argo | |||
1 living Chiana | |||
1 dead Chiana | |||
1 regular Aeryn | |||
1 John & Aeryn from timeline that was sort of reset but also sort of still happened. | |||
One problem I had with this episode is something that shows up in a lot of sci-fi: a species being treated as uniform. In this case, that's Pilot/Moya immediately accepting this renegade from Scorpius's research project because they trust her species. | |||
