    • Trivia
      Originally, Crichton was still conscious after Aeryn punched him, but Ben Browder protested, saying there's no way his character would voluntarily get on the prowler with Aeryn, after she had assaulted him. It was rewritten so Crichton would be knocked out cold.
    • Quotes

      Aeryn Sun: This is my turn. My plan. Now let's go.

      John Crichton: No! Absolutely not. There are other things that we can do. We can try negotiating with the Tavloids, we can...

      [Aeryn knocks him out]

      Aeryn Sun: Tav'leks.

    Hey, Virginia

    Zhaan short strip scene shows her beautiful lean body. Rygel is a pathetic loser. The tavleks are surprisingly amenable to talk and to hear. It's hard to give up chemical addictions. Episode with ups and downs, with things happening to start building the characters.
