Episode Guide
Fetal Attraction

Trivia

Pre-watershed worries:  The three-parter starting with Fetal Attraction originally had the overall title We're So Screwed - a title chosen after the cancellation decision.  Sadly, this wasn't quite within 大象传媒 guidelines for transmissions at 6.45pm, so we Brits just get the individual episode titles.

Bunnies beware: Fetal Attraction is a pun on the title of 1987 movie Fatal Attraction, starring Glen Close as an obsessive woman determined to ruin the life of the man who dumped her.  Its most famous scene concerns the boiling of a family pet rabbit.

Welcome back: Shane Briant, who plays officious desk-jockey Trayso previously played the very different role of mad scientist Kaarvok in Eat Me.

Dulcet tones: Claudia Black's breathy voice is heard announcing "previously on Farscape."  Amongst Claudia's many talents is music - in her younger life she was something of a jazz singer.

Triplicate tribe: Sikozu's people, the Kailish, are seen here in their natural environment - as bureaucratic jobsworths administrating the Scarran Empire.  

Back and back and back to the past: References to other episodes include John dressing up as a Peacekeeper, as in Nerve, and a mention of Diagnosians, previously seen in Die Me Dichotomy and Season of Death.

1812's big brother: Scarran DRD's, fittingly, are the hard-nuts of the robot world - big, bulky and heavily armed.

Tongue spotting: D'Argo's tongue saves the day once more, dropping a Charrid soldier in the nick of time.

Spooks: Scorpius has accurate identification codes for a member of the Scarran Ministry of Dissimulation - the Scarran spy corps.  Now, how did he come by such a thing?

Rygel's got the lergy: We learn that Hynerian dermaphollica is a highly contagious, non-species specific illness that causes vomiting, sloughing of skin, and sudden death in Kailish and Sebaceans.

The John Crichton guide to pop culture.

Snurch and display: John describes the security clearance beacons as window-stickers - comparing them to a valid tax disc or parking permit.

Harvey has risen from his grave: John's mental conversation with the returned Harvey takes place in a classic Hammer-horror style vampire's crypt, with Harvey even describing himself as Nosferatu - a famous film bloodsucker.
