I like how you can tell Aeryn immediately makes the connection that Sebaceans originated from Earth when he mentions the primitive state of the origin species (humans) and location of the planet (Earth is located on the outer rim of the galaxy)
@@toetagjeee Actually, no, it wasn't. They only brought back the Eidelons, but no larger dialogue was made in regards to Peacekeeper origins. It was only when PK Wars was made that they decided to elaborate (aka, the above clip). However, it was speculated that Humans and Sebaceans were linked before... just never conclusively determined.
Ah man, I miss Farscape! When it was on TV, I was in NI in the Army, and there was a sign on my bunk door stating "Tuesday Evening 6-7pm, Farscape is on - F#ck off!"🤣
I second what Niklas said, you should definitely see it. The characters, plot and humour are all excellent. Some of the aliens are played by people in costumes and make-up but some are animatronic puppets, which were made by the Jim Henson company and look so good it's easy to forget they are puppets. Also, some of these TH-cam clips will reveal *massive* spoilers.
Someone recommended the show to me about ten years after it had already ended. For about ten tries I couldn't get through the pilot. The show felt like it hasn't aged well, what with its 4:3 aspect ratio and the weird vibe, felt cheap for a show that was only ten years old. While I could get over that, the puppets were simply so off putting I just couldn't get into it. I was told to wait until Scorpius shows up, that the show really picks up at that point. So I kept watching, waiting for Scorpy, without even realizing that the show already had its hooks in me long before he showed up. It just did everything right. The sense of adventure, the action, the humor, all of it sprinkled with drama that managed to avoid feeling campy. You truly felt for those people. Hell, even the damn ship had a personality you came to adore. Most importantly, the villains weren't villains for the sake of it. They too had a goal, they were characters in their own right. You could write a show just about them, from Peacekeepers and the perversion of their purpose, Scorpius' painful life and his quest, even the Scarrans had a story to tell. There are a few filler episodes that are meh, some early on in the show, but when the story chooses its direction, it makes Farscape into the best science fiction show ever made.
Well, humans are superior in one aspect: we have a build in control mechanism to regulate our core temperature. Which begs the question: which of our ancestors didn't, or was it part of the genetic modifications?
@@RedOrm68 likely a defect due to genetic modifications. you sometimes have to compromise on one aspect to get ten other things to work right. if the Sebeceans have garments or tech they can compensate for different temperatures. humans btw tolerate extreme cold better then extreme heat.
@@RedOrm68 or maybe it was because the species got too adjusted to living in regulated space temperatures and lost the ability to adapt over a period of time?
@@andrewmark2783 I don't think so. True, Sebbaceans, Peacekeepers really, spent most of their lives in space, but as a whole the species didn't. A genetic defect, like that rather limits the options for habitable planets. Perhaps the defect was intentional. A means of control.
I thought this revelation was fascinating. Peacekeepers had, and arguably even still have, benevolent motives. It just goes to show that even with the best intentions an authoritarian military junta will inevitably become corrupt.
What are you talking about? This is the official channel, so it's not just "somebody", of course the Farscape channel would post Farscape stuff. But even if this video wasn't upload by them, there have been many Farscape videos posted throughout the years by other people.
Anyone else wish they lived on Moya and were able to explore the many, many stars? Earth, altho beautiful, feels extremely claustrophobic and limiting at times. Thank goodness for meditation. 🧘♀️
I absolutely adore Farscape, but I will say that I feel they dropped the ball a little when it came to the origins of sebaceans and how they were connected to humans. It is sort of explained here and we are left to connect the dots, but other than that, it is more or less brushed aside as a novel fact. I wish they had gone into it a little more, maybe have a big revelation and get John's take on the fact that they were the same species until they weren't. Nevertheless, I still love it. ^^
How cool would've have been if that Scaran heat probe did NOT work John, thus all humans? Well, there you go. Once he mentioned find a species in another part of the galaxy - YEP.
All it took was 1 more season to finish out one of the best scifi series ever. Nope, SciFi (SyFy) wasted their money on moronic stalwarts instead for 2003-2005 such as: Proof Positive, Tremors TV show, Ghost Hunters, Scare Tactics, Tripping the Rift, and Mad Mad House Remember any of these SciFi/Syfy TV shows?

They don’t enslave, they take prisoners from either their jurisdiction or from other jurisdictions and either sentence them to confinement or hard labor depending on their crime. They are a galactic police force basically with really big guns.
You see hints in earlier episodes that at one time, even after the Eidelons disappeared, they really did try to stay true to their original function. It only seems relatively recently they became the Peacekeepers as we know them now.
Generally-speaking, slaves are not allowed to be heavily-armed elite soldiers. It is more that their ancestors were prehistoric tribal people and thus what they understood of civilization came from their Eidolon sponsors and the species that they were tasked with policing.
That far back in prehistory the familiar Human ethnic groups that we know of today would not have existed yet. But the Sebaceans are nonetheless artificially-evolved Humans that were probably taken from a colder northern region. Hence their difficulty dealing with heat.
The main character is the cause of so many problems and deaths the crew didn't have to go through. His stupidity of not killing characters that repeatedly betrayed him just pissed me off.
Farscape is a stupid person's idea of serious sci-fi. It is for people who get impressed by pretentious verbose scripts and ever-more stupid looking makup and costumes. Gibbon would have said that the definition of a rubbish TV show is when it relies on freakishness masquerading as originality to keep its followers engaged.
I've been reading sci fi for forty years. Farscape is fine. What is not fine are dirtbeards keeping new sci fi fans from enjoying the genre by gatekeeping and shitting on anything less hardcore than Asimov or Clarke. Get ahold of yourself.
@@skankmcgank gatekeep or throw wide the gates, seems there can never be middle ground these days. either let it stifle and die through extreme purity like a monarchy or let it be muddied with impure blood diluting what was once there. I find you to be the exact same just on the opposite side of the spectrum as Mr Hodgkinson. its always odd to see two people at each others throat never realizing they are simply two sides of the same coin, staring into each others own reflection.
@@Shiirow wrong. I have helped others become voracious readers / watchers of all kinds of sci fi. I don't like some some things, but I wouldn't call all the fans stupid. I hate battlestar Galactica but I don't pretend it's not part of the genre or rag on its fans. Because I disagree with that guy doesn't make me his polar opposite. I just hate that pretentious attitude that some scifi / fantasy folk have towards more works with mainstream appeal.
Everyone: "you are immune to our lie detection methods!"
John: "no, I just speak the truth"
Everyone: "you lie!"
John: " this is getting old..."

wasnt that established in an episode when they brought back eidelons?

Totally Agree! Great comment.
ever!

That’s awesome
The Peace Keeper Wars is one of the best pieces of science fiction ever ...
I’ve never seen the show. But Claudia Black is gorgeous
You should see it. It's on Amazon Prime at the moment.

Loved this show...would older a pizza, buy a pint of icecream...and go home and watch it after work....Good Friday nights
I miss this show.
Farscape is my favorite Sci Fi program, good stories, great characters, and impressive worlds...when are the movies coming out????
I want a Farscape Prequel
Guess gotta watch the show again!
Not complaining though 😁
I've seen the show start to finish several times, I don't remember this scene. I'll have to rewatch it again...
Its from the end of the peace keeper wars
@@redragon1990 Ahh, thank you
Absolutely loved this show
Could another top this?
@@marthagilbert3459 Maybe, one day. Lol
Best show ever.
That episode blew my mind
We discussed this crucial connection in our video on Sebaceans. Sebaceans ARE humans, but humans are not superior. Sorry, Crichton.
Well, humans are superior in one aspect: we have a build in control mechanism to regulate our core temperature.
Which begs the question: which of our ancestors didn't, or was it part of the genetic modifications?

@@jonbaird8430 neanderthals are humans, they just aren't modern humans
What did I just walk in to?
one of the great hidden gems of sci-fi. :D
I used to watch this show along with beast master.
I thought this revelation was fascinating. Peacekeepers had, and arguably even still have, benevolent motives. It just goes to show that even with the best intentions an authoritarian military junta will inevitably become corrupt.
wow, i don't believe, that now somebody post this serial) thank you)

lol "Peace at the barrel of a gun" guy saying it with distaste but he doesn't realise that's the only way to preserve peace at all.
For the stubborn and when you come to such an impasse that is. For those willing to mediate (why it is the go to method), its not needed.
That's why they needed a Peacekeeping for to begin with. The problem is in keeping peace with only a barrel of a gun.

Yes.

So peacekeepers are an empire of slaves turned slavers. Good to know.
They don’t enslave, they take prisoners from either their jurisdiction or from other jurisdictions and either sentence them to confinement or hard labor depending on their crime.
They are a galactic police force basically with really big guns.
You see hints in earlier episodes that at one time, even after the Eidelons disappeared, they really did try to stay true to their original function. It only seems relatively recently they became the Peacekeepers as we know them now.
Generally-speaking, slaves are not allowed to be heavily-armed elite soldiers. It is more that their ancestors were prehistoric tribal people and thus what they understood of civilization came from their Eidolon sponsors and the species that they were tasked with policing.
Probably went to primitive earth, abducted an Italo-Celtic tribe and had them genetically modified to serve them.
That far back in prehistory the familiar Human ethnic groups that we know of today would not have existed yet. But the Sebaceans are nonetheless artificially-evolved Humans that were probably taken from a colder northern region. Hence their difficulty dealing with heat.
The main character is the cause of so many problems and deaths the crew didn't have to go through. His stupidity of not killing characters that repeatedly betrayed him just pissed me off.
Loved the show, but hey really shouldn't have made humans and sebaceans related, and kept the two unrelated.
