Farscape, Sebaccean's(sp?) and human's

Which species is stronger or smarter or whatever, or is there any real difference?

I'm just wondering since Aeryn seems to like to call Chrithon(sp?) inferior the first episodes or so

Humans and Sebaceans seem to be roughly the same strength, Sebaceans have better senses, and Humans have better resistance to temperature extremes. Intelligence seems to be roughly the same as well. Bit of a mix, as far as their strengths and weaknesses are involved.

I think they average out as about the same.

IIRC, someone said Sebaceans have no liver.

There is any real difference. A human and sebacean can have children (#1 Brain bug) so they can't be too different biologically.

You're average sebacean is pretty bigotted. They're indoctrinated and brainwashed, that's especially true of the peacekeepers.

Sebaceans have no liver? The person that said that has no brain. Humans and Sebaceans are suppose to be similiar to the genetic level. The only differences I remember are humans tolerate heat better and have less acute senses.

No I heard they had something else called something else

In other words they don't have a liver per se but they do have the functional equivalent? That makes sense.

Or maybe they have another word for liver?

Ah yes, I found some info on it:

Paraphoral Nerve: The part of Sebacean anatomy that acts as a filtering system, removing toxins from the blood in much the same way that our liver works. Once damaged, it cannot regenerate and a tissue graft, either with artificially generated tissue or from a genetically compatible donor, is the only cure. When Larraq, infected by the intellent virus, stabbed Aeryn in A Bug’s Life, he damaged her paraphoral nerve.

damm, you beat me to it.

I've read that Sebaceans aren't just sensitive to extreme temperatures. Mild heat (30º? 35º? 40º?) can slowly put them in a permanent coma (called "The Living Death"). Not necessarily searing-hot, merely tropical-hot.

Yes, that's right. It led to the events ending the first season.

For a while, since like the second season, I've fond of the idea that Crichtons wormhole took him to a future where a majority of the species in Farscape are humans adapted to living on other worlds, seperated from earth by thousands perhaps millions of years of minor but apparent evolution. This would explain all the interbreedability and similarity.

However, now that crichton is returning to earth, its not possible for him to have time travelled. Unless ofcourse the wormhole takes him BACK or something.

I had a similiar line of thought about that possibility.

ditto

Wouln't the ancients know if Earth was in some other time period? I mean they literally invented wormhole travel (they used to be pure "wormhole beings" (???)) *and* they were entertaining the idea of visiting Earth, perhaps moving there permanently (coexisting). That's why they messed with Crichton's brain.

Well if we find the ruins of the statue of Liberty on the Peacekeeper home planet, then we worry.

Actually, he could've still time travelled. I dunno if you've seen "Unrealized Realities" yet so I'll stop right there so I won't spoil it for you.

Not likely to happen since it would take them 60 years to get there.

Heh, it would be a good cross refrence.

Too bad they killed Farscape. THOSE BASTARDS.
