I don't think we need to list every panda item that anybody can think up. If panda fictional characters are really that important, make a new article for them. --Alan Millar

New to this
I would like to add a slang term that has developed on the Straight Dope message board: Panda (used in place of pandering). Panda as a term for injecting into a story or program gratuitous sex or nudity (basically eye candy that does nothing to improve or advance the story. It seemed to come about mostly in relation to the last Star Trek show "Enterprise" in which T'pol the Vulcan female officer would tend to find reasons for lack of clothing and sexual advances. There are other examples and, at least within the board, the term has fallen into general use for any instance in which sex, sexuality, or nudity is used simply as bait for people to watch the show.
Use in sentences:
Wow, that episode had more panda than usual didn't it.
There wasn't nearly enough Hoshi panda for me in last night's episode.
That show is almost nothing but panda.
BSG (Battlestar Galactica) fembot is registering high on the panda scale.
and so on.
