* Intended as a plot point in an episode of ''Series/{{Farscape}}: Blue-eyed members of a species on a particular planet suffer severe burns when both of the planet's moons are full. The victim of a murder supposedly carried out by Zhaan was one such individual, and the murder occurred on the night of a double full moon. The full version of the scene in which Chiana cross-examines ''another'' blue-eyed member of the species as a witness, one of the police officers involved in the arrest and who got a severe moonburn as a result, lead to her pointing out that even though the victim was found outdoors, he was ''not'' burned. This cast doubt on the state's case, as it indicated the man was killed elsewhere and moved. However in the final version of the episode that aired ("Dream a Little Dream") the fact the victim was blue-eyed and wasn't burned by the moons was cut.[[note]]The rest of the cross-examination was left in the episode, but only focused on how strange it was for the officer to be outdoors that night.[[/note]]
