love it.......2007-05-07

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 [...]. 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!.......2007-04-02

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.

Better than previous editions.......2007-01-12

The starburst edition has all the extras, of course. But previous starburst editions came on double-sided dvds that I had troubles with, and others did as well. But now you get four single-sided dvds that I haven't had any problems with so far. It's my favorite tv series, I've watched it several times. I guess the first season or so is a little hoky at times (which I kinda like actually). But the first and second lay a lot of groundwork for the characters that make watching the third and fourth a better experience.

Farscape - Great storytelling, Impressive Graphics...It doesn't get any better.......2006-09-01

When I first saw Fascape when it premiered in 1999, I immediately fell in love with the show. It's genuinely original storyline, muppet effects supplied by the Henson Co., and the depth of characters as the show progressed only heightened my affection for this, in my opinion, short lived show. For anyone that is wondering about this show, primarily if they are thinking about starting to collect this very affordable and well done DVD collections, they should know that this show had enough of a fan base to practically unseat a CEO of a company.

From what I have read and heard, when a new female CEO was named for the Sci-fi Channel in 2003/2004, the first thing she did was to cancel Farscape. She thought the show cost too much and that the story was too linear based, meaning that people who had never seen an episode would not be able to understand it because they hadn't see the preceding storylines that progressed the show. Anyways, this was a bad idea. Between 2 and 3 million people boycotted the channel because they cancelled their favorite show. On top of that, it was the Sci Fi channels top rated and most popular television show at the time. Needless to say, the board of executives threatened to releave her of her position with a vote of no confidence, so she allowed the creators and actors to come back and finish the show with a 4 hour miniseries. The reason I mention this is because the show is just that damn good, and if it had the fan base to change a company, then I would have to say that alone is proof of how great this show is and always will be.

I also used to work for a Suncoast store, which is primarily retail priced with the occasional sale in the store. The original retail price for the season box sets of Farscape retailed at $149.99 a piece. Outrageously priced, even for a good show. However, I still sold many, many copies of the Farscape box sets while I worked there, once again showing the show is just that damn good that people would spend that much hard earned money. These Starburst collections are just what the doctor ordered for people in the middle class like myself. You get all the episodes of whatever season you would like in 3 separate box sets that combined still only cost half of the full season box sets price. The Starburst collections also have great quality episodes, lots of documentary info, and cool facts surrounding the creation of the show.

If you like Farscape then I recommend buying these right now. If you have never seen it then buy the first starburst box just to see what you think and it will only cost you $20.00.

Really The Best Edition .......2006-05-06

Farscape is one of the best sifi shows period. I wish they got more publicity. I heard of it and started watching it at the end of its last season. If you like this show, and are thinking that maybe you want to buy some episodes, Only get the Starburst Edition. It has all the extras and gives you about seven shows per set at about $20US. The boxed season sets are about twice that price, and are missing some of the cool extras from the Starburst Edition. There is also another edition out, but it has nothing for extras and is even more pricey per episode then the Boxed set. Enjoy the maddness, with Jim Henson's best creatures since Starwars.

No Viewing Problems.......2007-01-09

I was unsure if I wanted to spend money to purchase the Farscape Season 1 (Starburst editions)when many of the reviews claimed to have problems viewing the disks...or that the disks were of poor quality. I haven't had ANY problems with my disks. I'm glad I took the chance. My family and I LOVE Farscape and are very happy with our purchase!!

Excellent!!!!.......2006-11-11

8-episodes, 4-Discs, audio commentaries, lot's of extras. I think I'm one of the few people who enjoyed the episode "Jeremiah Crichton", so the audio-commentary on it was great!! The narrators included the producers w/ Claudia Black and Ben Browder. I'm looking forward to buying the next "Starburst Edition-Collections." Stay away from the previous dvd offerings, "Starburst" is the way to go!!!

Still the best science fiction show around!.......2006-10-31

This show just keeps getting better and better. Great characters and great plotlines. I only wish it were still on tv now. One of the most original and entertaining shows ever created.

Excellent!.......2006-02-26

Farscape is an excellent series - it's no surprise that Season 1, Collection 2 is full of drama, action, inuendo, and fun. The Starburst Edition offers Farscape fans an affordable way to revisit their favorite episodes without spending a fortune.

Definitely a worthy investment!
