Begining with John's inability to open doors, we really begin to see how different this world is. The PK commando's are looking for them. The cloud invades the ship. Crichton and crew end up duplicated. We find out that for all of their strengths, sebaceans have one fatal weakness, they can't handle the heat. And of course, we meet the dentics.
One thing I find funny. D'Argo suggests they cut off a finger to tell the real passengers from the replicants. At this point all of his strategy revolves around his blade. John risks Aeryn's life to fight the commandos. This seems to gain him respect. The whole thing ends well and Rygel gets the credit.
We learn that patience and time solve almost any problem. (Too bad there is never enough time.)
So my question on this episode: did I miss Crichton agreeing to kill Aeryn if the living death sets in? Or did she just assume he said yes. And, would he have done it? It figures that the first time Aeryn asks for help, she wants someone to kill her.
I've also noticed that Crichton dresses in warmer clothes than his shipmates and is the last to be affected by the heat. It makes me think that Moya is kept cold. Of course, Crichton is from Florida where it is warm.
I love the lesser species conversation. This starts the growth of the characters to the point in PKW where Aeryn considers John her equal. There are so many references back to this episode.
How many times is John Crichton going to be duplicated in his life?
"You ever have one of those days when life just ain't what you thought it would be?"
"You know, all things considered, there are worse watys to end a day."
