It was hint and it's not Farscape, maybe we need the Arrow of Athena...

Well, that pretty much narrows it down to one thing. I figured as much when you used the word frakkin' -- even though I'm sure that John Crichton said something very similar to Stark when they first met AND Moya was pregnant with Talyn at the time.

I haven't watched the newer version of Battlestar Galactica so I'm not going to hazard a guess as to episode, though. I did like the same programme, next series hint, by the way....in retrospect!

He pretty much gave the episode away, I think. I think I can hear Helo saying the line. It sounds like it's from the first-season finale. (Home? I'm too lazy to look up the ep title.) If not that, then most likely in the one where they arrive on Kobol.

Edit: I don't remember Crichton saying something close to frak just once. Frell was used all the time though.

Oops, sorry about that! I mixed the quote references in that clumsy sentence. I meant to say that if intended as a hint, the use of "frakkin'" gave it away as BG.

This quote:

sounded like something John Crichton could have said to Stark when they met in the prison.

ABR can have it, too. I didn't want to come up with another quote. But the Arrow of Apollo reference made it obvious.

Tobin Dax deserved this more than I, but I have found a quote which should suffice. It should go rather quickly, too.

Okay, another thought I had was that Rose Tyler may have said this in the Doctor Who episode Bad Wolf. If so, it would have been during her stint on the Satellite Five Weakest Link show.

Well, it's a bit more fantasy/horror than Sci-Fi, but I haven't been around here on the forum for a while so I'll go with what I think it is: Underworld
Awwk! I just checked & it's been 3 months!... look out, I'm back into teh quizzes!
