Product Description
From Amazon.com
The two episodes (numbers 21 and 22) contained in this, the 11th and final volume from Farscape's first season, carry on with the series' entertaining brew of drama, humor, superior production values, credible special effects, and, perhaps best of all, the clever commingling of human and humanoid characters with puppets designed by the Jim Henson Company. Episode 22, "Family Ties," ends with a cliffhanger guaranteed to bring viewers back for more, as the duplicitous Rygel plans to turn traitor, which eventually leaves the fates of Crichton (Ben Browder) and D'Argo (Anthony Simcoe) up for grabs and "living spaceship" Moya's young offspring under the control of the conflicted villain Crais, among other developments. Television viewers already know how it all turns out, as the third season completed its run in April 2002. The rest of us, however, must be content to wait until subsequent Farscape seasons are issued for the home video market. --Sam Graham
Additional Features
The DVD surely has enough extra material to satisfy even the most ardent fans, including audio commentary by actors Anthony Simcoe (on Episode 21) and Ben Browder and Claudia Black (both on Episode 22); "video profiles" of series creator Rockne O'Bannon and executive producer David Kemper, each with extensive footage from the show; and an amusing look at the Jim Henson Creature Shop in Australia, where Farscape is filmed. Navigating the menu, however, may prove a bit cumbersome and annoying for some users. --Sam Graham

Season Finale Triumph,
By citywulf (Atlanta, Georgia USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Farscape: Season 1, Volume 11 (DVD)
Family Ties is such a strong episode that I have ignored its unfortunate pairing with Bone to be Wild (an episode of little consequence and terrible storyline placement) and given this a 5 star rating. Family Ties is everything a season finale should be -- enemies old and new, each character coming fully into their own, Farscape's typical wit mixed with the most poignant moments to date, and of course a cliffhanger that makes you glad the SciFi channel is goofy enough to air the final four episodes right before the beginning of the new season so you don't have to agonize too long. These actors can handle anything with style, and Family Ties is one of the most stylish episodes from any season.

Great and Silly episodes,
By
This review is from: Farscape: Season 1, Volume 11 (DVD)
The DVD's are well coordinated and the menus are easy to follow. The clarity is excellent.Farscape was (and I specify was) one of the best new SciFi series out. I recommend all episodes in season one and season two however, starting with the ending of season three it has become silly and juvenile. Chreiton's brain implant is becomming redundant and needs to be resolved. I do not plan on purchasing any additional episodes (perhaps even watching) unless they get new writers (someone over the age of 12 at least)for the upcoming episodes.

Two great episodes to watch over and over,
By
This review is from: Farscape: Season 1, Volume 11 (DVD)
Being Sci-fi fans for a long time, particularly of the Star Trek franchise (our favorite was Voyager), we have been bowled over by the Farscape series. It is far more creative and adventurous than anything before it--thanks to the amazing work of Henson's Creature Shop and the bold vision of its creators...but the real success of the show is due to its fabulous cast, who make the scripts sing and sizzle...funny and poignant and raucous adventure, all rolled into one! These two episodes are truly representative of Farscape's best features, with creatures to die for (Bone to Be Wild) and the captivating performances by the cast (Family Ties). Our full salute to this inventive show!
