DID YOU NOTICE?
All T'raltixx had to do to take over Moya successfully and avoid anyone figuring out either what he was doing or how he did it, was to just not tell them about the pulsars. Given that they were a blind, so to speak, for his real efforts, he was nothing short of mad to spill the info that Moya's crew would be affected via their optic nerves.

How exactly was Pilot affected? Crichton established that it wasn't via the light and that therefore it must be through T'raltixx. So why didn't T'raltixx just sit and have a natter with Pilot until the big guy fell over? Then with Pilot in his pocket, all he needed to do was shoot those rather violent grins at everyone else and kill them!

Why did T'raltixx so specifically need a Leviathan? Wouldn't a big torch have done what he needed? And as he raged about how his people would find another Leviathan and prevail, why didn't a few of them just come with him and take over Moya all the more easily?
