They've Got a Secret

DID YOU NOTICE?
This episode's idea of there still being Peacekeeper technology aboard Moya is similar to Farscape's earlier 'I, ET' - and it would be, as Sally Lapiduss wrote them both.
While BBC TWO has been screening episodes out of sequence, we are now seeing them in the right order: this is BBC TWO's tenth airing and it's also episode 10.
Aeryn complains that there are thousands of controls at Pilot's station but there only appear to be about six. All of them are gigantic, too, and everything on Moya works by your pressing a raised one down a bit.
The idea of the ship fighting its own crew is similar to the Blake's 7 episode 'Redemption' when the owners of the Liberator tried to get it back.
In just ten episodes, this is the third to take place entirely aboard Moya (bar D'Argo's little trip into space). The previous ones were 'Back And Back And Back To The Future' and 'Exodus From Genesis'.
Moya is presumably asexual as she's able to reproduce without remotely flirting with any passing ships.
