You either get the show or you don't. Farscape was Americas and Australia's version of DR. Who. It has great characters wonderfully acted by Ben Browder, Claudia Black, Gigi Edgely and many others. Jim Henson produced the series and his hand was very evident by the character of Domina Ridgel who looked like an overgrown snail who was a de-throned ruler of billions of his kind. True to form he was ruthless and a thief but still had a few good traits on occasion. It was that rare SCI-FI show that didn't loose itself in special effects. Instead it had great acting and stories. Watch one or two shows and you cared about John, Aeryn and the others. I found buying the Starburst set cheaper than the boxed set. It was a shock that the series was cancelled after 4 seasons but they did wind up the series in a classy way with a movie.
I miss Farscape!!! I thought this show portrayed one of the most realistic views of a universe far from our own, and how a guy surprisedly stranded there would behave. This is not the utopia of Star Trek, where we humans are always good and everyone else ends up being so impressed by us in the end. These creatures have seen lots of different sentient beings, and we are just one of them. In fact, we are evolutionarily far behind most of them, and the human is at best tolerated, and at worst, teased for his cluelessness. The only reason anyone chases him is because a more advanced being put knowledge in his head that has worth, and he accidentally killed the brother of an important official. Our space hubris was put aside in this show, making it so much more touching and amusing. I had no problem playing any of the discs.
Awesome series! It is my belief that one of the largest blunders from the Sci-Fi channel was to cancel Farscape. I thought it was an excellent series. Although many people were turned off by the modest use of muppets for some of the aliens, it was my opinion that allowed for a wide array of alien life. Season 3 is a tough season to start with. I would highly suggest starting from Season 1 to get familiar with the characters, but by the time this series hits season 3, this train will be moving! Farscape - Season 1, Collection 1 (Starburst Edition)
I highly recommend Farscape if you enjoy a non-run-of-the-mill science fiction, space tv series.
love it Farscape is tied with Red Dwarf and the Stargates as one of my favorite shows of all time. I love the starburst editions for their price and the considerably smaller shelf space compared to the previous release of Farscape on DVD. My one complaint is the cases are crap. Most of the cases for the starburst collection have 1-3 disc hubs broken. I forget where but I eventually found the case manufacturer and was able to order repacements. The replacements were the exact size but the disc hubs had been greatly improved.
Farscape is great! I started watching Farscape in Season 3. I watched all episodes and reruns I could get my hands on. I think they were INSANE to drop it from television.
I eventually bought the entire collection at once.
The only reason I gave this a 4 out of 5 stars, is because of the quality of the DVD. The inner clips of the box break very easily. The DVD always defaults back to subtitles between episodes, which is really annoying.
Even with the problems of the DVD, I love this set.
