* A crowning moment of ''acting'' surely has to be Season 2's "Out of Their Minds". Everyone in the regular cast except Virginia Hey gets to play someone else, and they all nail it. From BenBrowder and his hilarious Rygel voice, ClaudiaBlack completely shedding her Aussie accent for Aeryn-as-Crichton, Lani Tupu imitates D'Argo's rougher voice and speech patterns to a T, Gigi Edgely completely shifts gears for Pilot-as-Chiana, Anthony Simcoe's hilarious attempts to be seductive as Chiana-as-D'Argo, and even Jonathan Hardy gets in on the fun by switching up his vocal performance for Aeryn-as-Rygel. And then they switch *again* at the climax, and once more everyone hits it out of the park. It's a hilarious episode already, but add in the phenomenal comic acting and it's easily a series highlight for this troper.

* Chiana, Jool and Sikozu's epic ''CharliesAngels''-style moment when breaking themselves and Noranti free from imprisonment in part two of "What Was Lost". Chiana plugs Sikozu's ears while Jool uses her metal-melting scream to melt off their cuffs. Then the three of them turn, smile sweetly, as Sikozu seductively saunters past the guards... then the guards turn to face Chiana and Jool, who instantly and in-sync ''high-kick them in the face''.
