Teleplay by David Kemper & Rockne S O'Bannon

DID YOU NOTICE?
The episode claims that every form of animal life had been destroyed on the planet so that the plants could thrive. And they really did mean every form of non-plant life. But how do the plants function without pollination?

The alien woman's name did sound like Emily but it was really M'Lee.

If all the heating was really switched off on Moya, the crew would have died and those cute parkas wouldn't have protected them.

How did Crais and Scorpius know about Moya's baby? Though they'd ransacked Crichton's mind, he didn't know at the time that the baby had been born. Would their attack have worked on the baby even if it were still in Moya's womb? It's more likely that Crais and co. pursued Moya from the Gammak Base to this handy asteroid field and saw the baby along the way. Though this begs the question of why were they not able to shoot and kill Moya then.

What is the point of a chart of the asteroid field as the asteroids will be moving around all the time? Even if the chart is a moving 3D one, there's not very much more it could tell the crew than they could find from looking out of the window!

Hiding out in an asteroid field and finding something a bit nasty there is of reminiscent of The Empire Strikes Back.

How does the alien botanist Br'nee clean his teeth?

Why does Scorpius care about catching Crichton?
