More and more creators are finding they can monetize their past works on TH-cam. Remeber that every time you watch a Farscape episode, it makes them money. And hopefully more than just Shout! Studios.
Fans of comic John Pinette recognize her voice at 42:26 as one he used for 2 decades in his food themed standup when hed tell people to get out of line. 😂
Not many viewers like watching all CGI creatures. Lots of actors don't like interacting with nothing - CGI filling in characters later (ask Ian McKellan when acting as Gandalf in The Hobbit, or the actor who played the Professor in Primaeval). Costume makers find it a bit hard to make that many costumes for human actors to wear 'comfortably' that make them look non-human in shape. With only a couple of truly exceptional actors, we humans just bend in certain ways. Then there is the problem with the amount of makeup that people can comfortably wear. We know Virginia Hey was increasingly allergic to her makeup, as Gimli in LOTR was to his. It often takes many hours to fit intricate makeup and extra body parts to actors, making them irritable and bored, and costing production companies much more in staff wages. (There were people in LOTR who did nothing else but make things like Hobbit feet - for years!) So, sometimes, it's just easier to fit a headdress/wig on, apply a good dollop of face paint, put on some fancy clothes, and just get the actors to ham it up and behave using more nonhuman mannerisms to make that distinction. Besides, there's nothing to say that the basic bipedal shape isn't the one more ideally suited for general inventiveness. I find it rather hard to believe that space-antelopes or intergalactic elephant seals can create and fly space ships. Look at those creatures on Earth with manipulative fingers and compare their level of dexterity with those creatures possessing those same types of fingers 'and' opposable thumbs. Compare such creatures.Automatically, the general shape of those creatures shifts pattern. It's quite likely that what evolves here on Earth is also 'more likely' to evolve on other planets. So we'd likely come across other types of spacefaring monkey/ape rather than spacefaring insect. Those monkey beings may well have differing sets of eye/ear/jaw pattern and outlandish skin colours, considering there will be different environments, star types, gravity, season lengths, atmospheres, food and predators. I don't think we'd find a great deal of difference between ourselves and the next spacefaring species we 'might' eventually discover (if we live through our technological adolescence and go forth, as Carl Sagan sort of put it).
@@Debbie-henri Thanks for you comprehensive response! I wasn't expecting anything. Yes, I see that it's easier for production if the aliens are human-like (but this may not be not easier for the actors), and they can also share the human's environment. It's just that I do not find it convincing to watch, it's a bit "cheesy" and they are all very similar. That's the reason I no longer watch these shows. It is true that on Earth-like planets with Earth-like gravity, the advanced life forms could be human-like, since all complex life forms on Earth are symmetrical and carbon-based. But life, meaning "self awareness and the ability to react and create", may take many forms, completely unlike those of Earth. For me, using AI and CGI to create really interesting life forms would make it far more interesting - and this would certainly boost the number of viewers. For example, life forms like: complex and organized liquids, gasses and energy fields; complex "chemicals"; high-gravity creatures (may be flat); low-gravity creatures (may be huge balloons); creatures that evolved in the vacuum of space (probably like complex viruses); creatures that evolved in high-pressure low-temperature liquid gasses, like liquid methane/oxygen/hydrogen etc (the universe has more planets like this than planets with "air"); suns and even galaxies may even be self-aware (and they probably are); creatures whose awareness of time is very different to ours (for example, a galaxy's awareness may see time as moving infinitely slowly compared to a human's notion of time, which is why we don't recognize it); creatures that live in ultra-high pressures, like the "surface" of Saturn; ... (Many of these creatures would not be able to visit the ship's bar, though ;-)
@@Debbie-henriI agree with your point about similar creatures on earth, while animals that seem to have their basic survival needs safely provided for tend to exhibit higher levels of consciousness. They don’t go out and invent new things necessarily, at least not to the degree necessary to defy the laws of nature. I believe that bipedal would likely be a sort of evolutionary requirement hypothetically or at least the conditions stated and an upper torso that articulates to a highly complex degree. 🤷♂️
..."What's the matter with him?' "He is Crichton." 😄😄😄😄
One of my _favorite_ FARSCAPE episodes.

Ooooh, a black Tshirt episode you know it's about to get real! 0:27
"We have air in here."
omfg... that "martial arts" scene... :D
It’s so expertly choreographed!… 😂

Gotta love a bottle episode ❤
🤜🤛👋👊
Thank for
for uploading full episodes ✓
Did anyone else find Natala strangley attractive for an alien or was it just me? 😄
Oh where are the other series 1 episodes? Love Farscape
All right here, I don’t understand the question when the first 4 were uploaded before this one 😂😂😂
Please add the rest
Lol moyer
Why do all the aliens look like humans with funny things stuck on their heads? That's what I want to know.

Love the bad acting
On all the girls
Should've gone with the pheromones explanation if that dumb Matala acting was on purpose.
