Farscape

Farscape was a popular television series on Earth. Vala Mal Doran pitched an idea to Martin Lloyd about a cloaked Tel'tak on a simple three-hour reconnaissance mission which Martin guessed was a ripoff of Gilligan's Island. He advised her to ripoff something a little more obscure and she ripped off Farscape which Martin did not recognize.
