According to Farscapeworld.com this episode's title is "Into the Lion's Den, Part 1: Lambs to the Slaughter".
Yep. The main title is correct. I'm not sure about the subtitle though.
Spoilers to follow...
An intersting little ep, introduces the new enemy for season 4 here methinkies.
Just a few things that I wonder about all this...
a) Can Moya be stopped from Starbursting at such a late stage? Everyone take notes!
b) There has alreay been one attempt on Johns life by the time he an Aeyrn get "ambushed" in the reactor room. Concidering Scorpy is the one linked to John after that first attempt I'd of expected him to at least post Brakka to him at all times...but no. Perhaps he was relying on the fear factor he thinks he has over the crew...but still rather sloppy IMO.
c) Why why why did Chi, Jool, Rygel and D'argo have to come with them? I thought they wanted none of it at the end of Fractures?
The subtitle is indeed “Lambs to the Slaughter”.
With Jool’s eyepatch gone and there apparently being no plot point in connection with it, I’m wondering whether Tammy had genuinely injured her eye.
Jool was uncharacteristically cool during the fight between D’argo and the Peacekeeper. I’d have expected her to have been screaming the place down.
Harvey is way too co-operative these days – why is he working against Scorpius?
In my notes on an earlier episode, I commented that I suspected that Jool’s hair would only go red when the budget was up to it. It certainly seemed this way here with it never changing colour throughout the course of the episode – why was it still red after she’d returned to the relative safety of Moya and before Chianna’s vision? She also seemed fairly relaxed when she was gambling with the Peacekeeper but still it stayed red.
When Commandant Grayza walked in, did any other Blake’s 7 viewers also yelp, “It’s Servalan!”? And not only did she look like her, she even talked like her with her comment about “being laughed at for our inability to capture a handful of escaped prisoners.” Are Farscape’s writers B7 fans?!
Why didn’t Braca take Scorpius’ I-yensch bracelet off when he was feeling the effects of John’s beating? He knows the code – unless each bracelet has a different code, but I would have expected Scorpy to have told him what the code was in case of just such an eventuality.
Why didn’t Scorpius wince or bleed when he was slamming John’s head against the console?
Having now re-watched “I-Yensch, You-Yensch”, I withdraw my question about why Braca didn’t take off Scorpy’s bracelet. During the negotiations, it was agreed that each ‘team’ would programme the code into the other person’s bracelet so that they couldn’t take them off.
Tammy said at a con that she did indeed get Boolite in her eye during the filming of "Fractures," so the eye patch was truly necessary.
Boy, that Commandant is one bee-yatch, to quote my brother. Good episode.
Why didn't John get fried as he and the peacekeeper fought on top of a reactor glow-ball-thingy? I mean, at one point John is on his back on the thing and yet he survives? Also, those jet-packs looked like something out of Buck Rogers. And why was one in the reactor area in the first place?
Grayza introduced herself to Chrichton as "Commandant" Grayza. Later in the same scene, Scorpius calls her "Commodore" Grayza. The CC contain the error, too.
Great Line: "This is just not fair." -Crichton as he stares the reactor ball in the face. The line wasn't as good as the way he delivers it.
Why would the Peacekeepers, which are Sebaceans, being a species not very resistent to heat, build a sauna into one of their command carriers?
And why aren't there things like internal sensors which can locate any person at any time? Would be a lot easier to find Crichton if he's being attacked. Maybe those sensors are now being used to build up the wormhole. BUT they could give him an escort, but then again, he wouldn't be able to talk freely if he's meeting one of the Moyayans.
Why is it so easy to just step into a reactor area from the corridor? Shouldn't it be shielded, locked, guarded or whatever? And why don't they know that firing pulse pistols in there is no wise idea? And that jet-pack scene was really unnecessary.....
I liked that outside-on-the-inside area, though.
One more: Why is the Peacekeeper doctor who removes D'Argo's whatever-you-call-'ems (being German, I didn't really get the word when I first heard it....) so friendly? After all I've heard about Peacekeepers, they don't like foreigners and could be irreversibly contaminated and all that.... and D'Argo is - according to the PKs - a convicted murderer.
The issue of Sebacean heat intolerance was something the writers would frequently forget about.
The Newbie: Why is the Peacekeeper doctor who removes D'Argo's whatever-you-call-'ems... so friendly?
I'm sure that not every PK hates aliens/is a complete a** hole/cares that much who their superiors dislike.

If memory serves, the room was discribed as containing a healing mist, and no mention was made about the room's temprature.
