It is the name of the final battle between the gods and the titans. I alway thought Ragnarok was part of "that Norse warrior crowd"  , but I see he is from Indiana instead. Assumptions 
Nope. All wrong. Final battle between the gods of Asgard (the "good" gods) and the Jotuns, during which the current universe will be destroyed and only a few of the Asrgardian gods will survive. A new golden age will occur after Ragnarok occurs. Titans are Greek, not Norse.

Remember, this is sci-fi. In actuality they did NOT kill John Crichton & Aeryn Sun - they were "Disintegrated" and they were to be "Reintegrated" near the start of the fifth season (which was cancelled, of course).

Jeez, Imp, you never cut anyone an inch of slack.
The explanation is close enough. He got the gods correct, but of course it wasn't specific enough for you. Besides, the Titans and the Jotuns are the same thing, just named differently by the cultures involved. Soem believe the Titans are even mentioned in the bible, referred to as the Sons of Elohim.

Re: OT: Farscape Miniseries announced
No, the Titans and Jotuns are not the same thing at all. The Titans were gods, the Jotuns were just giants.
