    4.0/10(1 votes)

    S0:E2

    Zhaan is tried for murder on a litigious planet. "Re:Union" was originally filmed as the Season 2 premiere, but was held back and "Mind the Baby," the second episode, was broadcast first. This allowed the fates of Crichton, Aeryn, and D'Argo to be more quickly resolved after the cliffhanger ending of Season 1. New opening and closing scenes were filmed for '"Re:Union," making it a flashback. The episode was renamed "Dream A Little Dream" and broadcast later in Season 2 (02x08). The original edit of "Re:Union" went unseen until June 1, 2001, when it aired as a special presentation in the U.S. on the Sci Fi Chanel.
