I'm always puzzled by the assertion that crimos are super-intelligent. The actual text is:
MOLOK: Show me the ship; I must learn about it. CALLY: You're a crimo, aren't you? MOLOK: I have a high intelligence quotient, but I enjoy inflicting pain -- in that I am a true crimo. So don't be stupid, do as I say. Show me the flight deck.
The use of the word _but_, coupled with the actor's delivery, leads me to believe that Molok's intent is to say 'just because I'm a crimo, don't make the mistake of thinking I'm stupid.' IOW, that crimos are generally considered to be _un_intelligent.
