Crais Changed?
Description:
At the end of "Mind the Baby", Crais tells Scorpius that Crichton
is dead. Scorpius immediately decides that Crais is deceiving him, trying
to perpetrate some small act of revenge for the ruin of his career.
Was Crais really trying to be helpful? Did he change from the hateful
PK captain we all know and loathe into someone groping his way into something
approaching benevolence?
New info: Crais made a promise to Crichton at the end of "Infinite
Possibilities: Icarus Abides" to take care of the others. Crichton
appeared to trust Crais at this point, despite some of the things
that have happened over the past few episodes.

- Parent effect
- Crais is now effectively a parent. In reaching out to bond with
Talyn, he finally broke through his PK conditioning and took the
first step toward empathy.
- Hunted too
- Crais has learned to the fullest extent what it is like to be
hunted and despised.
- Comfy chair effect
- Crais was forced to relive his entire past in the Aurora Chair
when Aeryn turned it on and left it on "The Hidden Memory".
That has to change a person.
- He let John go
- Crais had an opportunity to kill John. Talyn was apparently
willing. Instead, he let John go. This is evidence of at least
partially kindly intent.
- Object of wrath changed
- Even if Crais has not undergone a fundamental shift in his personality,
the object of his wrath has changed. He's more angry at Scorpius
than the crew of Moya now.
- Family
- Unlike Aeryn, Crais has memories of a family and emotional ties
other than being a PK. He has less far to go.
- Helping Hand
- Crais actually has helped out a little, here and there, when
the crew really needed him.

- Leopards and spots
- Leopards don't change their spots, and PK captains don't stop
being vengeful and vindictive.
- Bad impression on Talyn
- Crais didn't want to make a bad impression on Talyn by killing
a defenseless man. It if wasn't for Talyn, Crais would've killed
John in a blink. The fact that he let John go is not evidence
of kindly intent.
- Scorpius is insightful
- Ol' Scorpy has been shown to be a remarkably good judge of another's
actions. He misses some of the details, but is usually right overall.
- Self Interest
- Crais acted out of self interest. He made the deal with Aeryn
to keep Talyn. He didn't kill Crichton when he had the chance
because Crichton had a gun at his head. He's just protecting himself.
- Sun Senior
- You didn't really think that Crais shot Mama Sun, did
you?
