Product Description

From Amazon.com

Farscape is genre television at its most ambitious, inspired both by the cult appeal of Babylon 5 and the continuing success of the Star Trek franchise, but taking a visual and conceptual leap beyond those shows. Making extensive use of CGI, prosthetics, and state-of-the-art puppetry, courtesy of Jim Henson's Creature Shop, the Farscape concept has a freshness that makes it look and feel completely original. Among the first season's 22 episodes, "Premiere" introduces the characters and the basic premise: American astronaut John Crichton (Ben Browder) is flung through a wormhole and comes out in the midst of an interstellar prison escape on the other side of the universe. When the galactic cops (called "Peacekeepers") mark him as the new public enemy number one, Crichton is forced to ally himself with the convicts: hulking warrior D'Argo (Anthony Simcoe), blue-skinned priest Zhaan (Virginia Hey), fugitive peacekeeper Aeryn (Claudia Black), exiled king Rygel (Jonathan Hardy), and Pilot, the giant insectlike nerve center of their living ship, Moya.

In the action-packed and stylishly directed "Throne for a Loss," a race of mercenary criminals called the Tavleks kidnap the imperious Rygel. "PK Tech Girl" and "That Old Black Magic" feature a peek into the pasts of Rygel and Zhaan as they hide from the fleets of Peacekeeper soldiers in the galactic frontier known as the Uncharted Territories. Leading toward the climax of the show's first season, "Nerve" and "The Hidden Memory" make for a bold two-parter that reunites Crichton with his Peacekeeper Tech girlfriend, Gilina, and introduces the dreaded Scorpius, who uses his Aurora Chair torture device to extract what he mistakenly believes is vital knowledge from Crichton. The final episode, "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 and D'Argo up for grabs and Moya's young offspring under the control of the conflicted villain Crais, among other developments.

5.0 out of 5 stars Farscape the way is should be presented!, Aug 25 2002
By 
John (Lockport, IL USA) - See all my reviews
ADV seems to have finally followed the plea of Farscape fans to release Farscape Box Sets, and in such short notice! This seems to be all 11 discs originally released one at a time packed into 6 page filled keep cases. The box itself seems to be very decorative to the Farscape scenes, covering one side with one of the most memorable scnene, the pod trwirling into the wormhole. Many believe they may a have put some new effort into the box set by releasing an 12th disc to fit the last case, but all is just speculation.

The discs will have the same stuff, down the the very menus, but the cases that they are stored in are being re-designed to fit the first season better. Hopefully the open side will be very presentable like the StarGate SG-1 box sets with un-cluttered spines like many ADV cases never seem to do. But as long as all the episodes are present and they are presented in all their glory, nobody should reject this set.

Hopefully Season two and three will follow shortly. Season three was undeniably the best season. Season three was pure story telling, and genius, creative ideas like the two Chrictons. Just time will tell weather or not we will ever see more soon.....

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this show!!, Aug 9 2002
I am totally hooked on this show. I haven't missed an episode since I started watching last season. If I won't be home, I tape it. We recently rented The Best of Season One and the first release of Season Two. I will be buying every season that comes out. The only reason I didn't buy the "Best Of" is because I was hoping someone would put out the entire season of shows. I can't wait.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get your Sci-Fi fix, Aug 9 2002
By 
Dionne "Dionne the Tea Priestess" (Duluth, GA, United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you're really needing a show that makes you feel as though you've left your living room and gone on one wild ride, this is the show for you. I've not look forward to watching a show since STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION was on TV. The stories are strong and engrossing and the characters are believeable.
Brian Henson (Jim Henson Company) has got a real winner with this show and now that the whole season is coming out on DVD, it will be difficult not to do a marathon all at once!
Save money, don't buy the individual discs...buy the whole season and have a family night.
