I used to call the John/Scorpius episodes the "mythology" ones, after X-Files. While they were indeed my favourites - alongside the whole sociopolitical arch of the Peacekeepers and the Scarrans; there was a definite hallucinogenic feel to some of the "Moya's ended up in a weird place, and the effects on the 'crew'…

Attack Of The Herbals? Oh wow, man. It's gonna take me oolong to come up with a good pun for that one.

Looks to me as if Adebisi finally found himself a bigger hat.

Them two rangas were as red in the head as a dick on a dog.

This is the first thing that popped in my mind.

Dunno. This is MTV we're talking about, right? Home of shit reality programs, guidos and guidettes, and pregnant 16 year-olds? Get your stinkin' paws off it, MTV!

I totally was, mate.

My favourite Monty Python song of all time.
