Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe production team originally intended "I, E.T." to be the second episode in the series. For various reasons, networks in the UK and the US aired it as the 4th and the 7th episode, respectively.
- GoofsWhile Crichton should be able to understand the unnamed inhabitants of the planet well enough because of the translator microbes, they do not have them and so should not understand Crichton.
- Quotes
John Crichton: You okay?
Dominar Rygel XVI: Okay? No I'm not okay. We're in the mud. Under the mud.
Aeryn Sun: You're Hynerian. You're aquatic, what's your problem?
Dominar Rygel XVI: Aquatic? That's water, not mud. Mud is... mud. You can't breathe in it, you can't move in it. It holds you, it grabs you, it sucks you down. You wanna know about mud? I know about mud.
John Crichton: Guy knows mud.

A PK (PeaceKeeper) gadget is making a racket and Moya finds a conveniently placed Bog planet to hide in the Soup. Moya had never taken a bath, but she's holding up while Crichton and D'Argo try to find Leviathan-Dope so that Rygel can squish in and chop off some connections from Moya's Neural Nexus without it causing too much agony. Zahn can help Moya by absorbing the pain, but Moya is slightly larger than Zahn.
But- They happen to have landed near that planet's version of S.E.T.I. - And the Scientist running it, "Lyneea" (Mary Mara) is not stupid. Pilot had identified a substance that would knock Moya out while Rygel uses Saws and other sharp tools, and it's in Lyneea's kitchen. So... SALT can knock Moya out? Except it's called something else, but my Translator Microbes stopped working. Take note! Later in the Series, this substance shows up, to the detriment of a Leviathan.
Crichton's interaction with a child is a lot like Reverse-ET, and the Authorities on this Bogplanet are akin to a bunch of Alex Joneses running amok with impunity. Not good.
But this planet - So much like Earth, so much like Earth's people. How would we react if Moya were to land next door? Some people would walk right up and be fascinated, other people would call the Army and the Army would start shooting.
All I know is, I'm glad that we've had a secret base on Mars for years, and that they serve Pizza there. But Crichton has to do with Food-Cubes.
