Book Description
Flung through a wormhole while testing a new theory of space travel, John Crichton finds himself on a living ship crewed by escaped convicts, on the run from a variety of madmen and desperately trying to remain sane. Farscape takes an all-American hero, a pregnant spaceship, a bald blue woman, a chick with a gun, a guy with tentacles, and a puppet with silly eyebrows, and combines them with astounding production values to create a gritty, dark, funny, anarchic and shocking show. Originating in Australia but now the flagship show of America’s Sci-Fi channel, Farscape has gained many fans along the way – it’s viewing figures in the US have increased by over 40 per cent between season one and three. Adhering to Virgin’s successful programme-guide format, this is the unofficial and indispensable guide to one of the most original sci-fi shows of recent years.
From the Inside Flap
Unchartered Territory comprises an in-depth, unofficial episode-by-episode guide, including categories such as Buck Rogers Redux, Nosferatu in Rubber, Alien Encounters and Get Frelled. Covering all three seasons of the show, it also provides an indispensable look at the logic leaps, the spins the show puts on classic storylines, and behind-the-scenes information.
Whether you're a seasoned fan of this inspired and spectacular show, or a recent convert, Unchartered Territory is your essential guide to Crichton's adventures and the weird and wonderful characters he meets along the way.

Incomplete, but thoroughly enjoyable,

This review is from: Uncharted Territory: An Unofficial and Unauthorised Guide to Farscape (Mass Market Paperback)
Forget the high-priced trade paperbacks, this slim little volume has all the dren you need on your favourite sci-fi show.Yes, it doesn't have illustrations. If I wanted to look at pretty pictures, I'd watch the show. Yes, it doesn't have much of the behind-the-scenes scuttlebutt. If I wanted that, I'd listen to the commentary tracks on the heinously over-priced DVDs. Yes, it's written in a breezy, informative style, giving you a handy synopsis of incidents under categories like Nosferatu in Black Rubber and Get Frelled. The book even manages to discuss the technical flaws within each episode, but does so without taking away from the enjoyment of the review. The book's only flaw: this is the last edition, and it doesn't cover every episode. The book covers to the end of the third season, and there's lots more to happen to the crew of Moya, but it's still a very useful little book.

This review is from: Uncharted Territory: An Unofficial and Unauthorised Guide to Farscape (Mass Market Paperback)
Uncharted Territory: An Unofficial And Unauthorised Guide To Farscape covers the first three seasons and does a very good job of it. It breaks down each episode to characters, plots, so on. It also brings in a lot of humor, imagination, and some VERY interesting view plots. True, no photos and no behind the scenes stories - but the official books can give you that. Or just watch the features on the DVDs, which have become cheaper as time as gone by. MUCH better than many of the other unofficial books or guides out there. Even covers the TV-tie in novels and a few websites. I like how honest the author is in his views about a lot of the Farscape material and universe.
