Great guide to the birth of a great show... Farscape is...was a great television show. This book covers the episodes, gives us information about behind the scenes and has chapters on the special effects. Full of humor and hope, as it was printed in 2000, the authors had no real idea about the future of the series. There are also chapters on the different characters and the actors/puppeteers who play them. If you are a fan you may already know everything in the book and if you are not a fan GO BUY THE DVDS before they disappear.
Not what I was hoping for. As one of the other reviewers pointed out, the episode synopses are brief. As a matter of fact, they only cover the setup for each episode, and omit the resolution. It's like reading teasers. I was hoping for something that would actually summarize the entire episode. In that regard, this book was a disappointment, and I won't be buying the rest of the series. To be fair, the books are lavishly illustrated with drawings and black and white photos. The background material on production, and actor and producer interviews are interesting. If you're looking for *complete* plot summaries for each episode, keep looking, as this book doesn't have them.
Enjoyed More Than I Thought This book actually has pretty terse episode descriptions and spends a lot more time on actor and staff impressions, descriptions of the props, sets and costumes, and generally interesting things that you don't get from watching the episodes themselves. Lots of nice photos.
No color pictures Ok, as a Farscape fan I enjoy the content of this book but there's not a single picture in color except on the front and back covers.
