Yeah, but c'mon. . .Scorpius? Sounds like G.I Joe or a Space Ghost villian's name. I get so sick of writers using the encyclopedeia of cliched or formulaic names. Oooooooh, a scorpion is a deadly insect(or arachnid. . .or whatever) so this wingnut must be dangerous too!! It'd be more realistic (assuming we're going for realism here) if after everytime he says his name people look at him funny and say, "You're kidding. . .right?" His dumb name doesn't interrupt the story, but it makes me a tad annoyed with the writers.
And besides he looks too much like like a cross between the Emperor from Star Wars and "The Gimp" from Pulp Fiction. Unless he can shoot electricity out his eyes or something Crichton could bust him up somethin' fierce in a fight.
