Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


First red. Now blue. Scorpius wants your brain. He said nothing about your eyes. Mmm, blue eyes. So soft. Very rare.

  • NamTar's (first?) failed experiment in "DNA Mad Scientist". The way the poor creature is screaming in pain and terror just hammers it home.
  • Zhaan's nightmare in "Dream A Little Dream", in which Aeryn is killed when her Prowler is destroyed, and Crichton's space visor cracks and his head starts to pop...
  • The temporary Nebari Mind-Cleansing procedure in "A Clockwork Nebari". One of the best (worst?) examples of Eye Scream ever.

  • The scene in "That Old Black Magic" when Maldis, in order to get Crais fired up against Crichton again, conjures up a vision of Crais' late brother, Tauvo, before re-enacting his death. As in, he shows Tauvo exploding into flame and his flesh melting, in graphic detail.
  • The fate of Aeryn's former friend, Henta, in "Into the Lion's Den Part 2: Wolf in Sheep's Clothing". She confronts Aeryn as the Command Carrier explodes around them, intending to kill her.

  • Towards the end of "Nerve", Chiana is confronted at gunpoint by Commander Javio. How does she get out of the situation? Burn him alive! Following this there are a couple of lovely close-ups of his charred corpse, mouth open in a silent scream...
