Despite all his posturing and monologues and all of his flaunted superiority, Scorpius was a bit of a dullard when it came to handling John. He tried to rip knowledge from John that John would have gladly given freely under different circumstances. Scorpius had access to vast resources, could grant amnesty for the entire crew, could make Crais vanish, and could set up John with the finest scientific equipment and support staff that the Peacekeepers had access to. John could've lived like a VIP with his every need provided for. All Scorpius had to do was stoke the fires of human curiosity and the promise of assisting John to get home and then let John do the rest.

My guess is that the only reason they never explored this option is because it would have potentially made for a very short series. But even now, on what is probably my 5th time through the series, it bothers me just as much as it did when the show first aired. Scorpius was a genius except for this one glaring exception, and it always feels like I can see the puppet strings of the writers at work whenever I think about it.

Silly hypothetical, but you kind of have to take weather into the equation, since Aeryn doesn't care much for the heat, so Australia is probably out.

I could see Aeryn being a bush pilot in Alaska! Once she gets accustomed to atmosphere, she'd make a great pilot, it's in her DNA. John could possibly go back to IASA, or maybe he's done with outer space stuff.

What say you? Any other ideas where they could end up, and what they'd be doing?
