Parasite is also correct in it is the name that people have given the final battle between the gods and titans. (although fiction)

Indiana is just a summer home.

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.

No, the Titans and Jotuns are not the same thing at all. The Titans were gods, the Jotuns were just giants.

Ok, thanks. If I really had the time, I guess I could research this myself. Someone mentioned in a post a few weeks or months ago that there would be a series, but that's all I've heard about it. Nothing from any official channels. I'll keep my fingers crossed. I really want to see what they do with it.

Okay, professor, if you say so. As usual, I am stupid and you are the master of google. You've earned another medal by challenging facts that are totally unrelated to the topic at hand. Thanks for the distraction.
