This Rating is based on DVD Quality, not Series Quality

First, I am a huge Farscape fan. I believe it is the best Science Fiction TV series - and the sci-fi channel was stupid to cancel it.

Now, the only issues I have with this DVD set is the DVD quality. The sound quality is awful!! In Relativity, it sounds as if the boom-operator was widely swinging his microphone because the sound would decrease suddenly mid-sentence. I'm not sure if it was technical errors on part of the crew or an issue with the DVD. I happen to lean towards the later, because at times, the whole soundtrack (music and dialog) will decrease in volume.

Other than sound issues, it's a great DVD

Warning about A.D. Vision and owners of disc changers.......2003-10-29

A.D. Vision has taken to labeling there DVD's with Disc1 or DiscA type of labeling. This of course makes it pretty hard to tell which disc is which when you bring your disc menu. So you are stuck using the EZ Play slot on the Sony DVP CX870D 300 +1 DVD player. Otherwise Farscape is great!

Interviews.......2003-08-14

I'm a fan so I think the episodes are great, nuff said. The extras include long interviews with Wayne Pygram (Scorpius) and Gigi Edgeley (Chiana). Pygram claimed not to have aspired to be an actor, which makes you wonder how he turned out to be so incredibly self-absorbed. He refers to himself in the third person several times, always a bad sign. I wonder if anyone has told him he's not the star of the show. Gigi was much more charming and interesting, and it's nice to see her without the gray paint. She seems to be much more like her character (fun!) than Pygram is. Each disk has a deleted scene, some trailers and promos.

Another strange ride through the Uncharted Territories..........2003-06-30

Well, trying to explain what has come before this volume for the novice and uninitiated is next to pointless, but for those in the know, this is another solid collection of episodes from the shows' third season. "Relativity" deals with tough-chick Aeryn Sun and her serious quandry of her mother being sent by ther Peacekeepers to bring our heroes in. The solution is not pretty and one that comes back to haunt her later on in the season. "Incubator" is a chilling tale of bad-guy Scorpius' past, and boy, it's not one easily forgotten. "Meltdown" involves our heroes getting dragged towards a sun by a bizarre force. "Scratch N' Sniff" is easily one of the more bizarre episodes of the show, involving a bickering crew and a shore leave gone horribly awry. It's a welcome lighthearted trip from the gloom and drama that fills this set, but the whole collection is still good. Recommended (unless your new, then I recommend checking out the show from the beginning).

The beat goes on for television's Farscape sci-fi series with this, the third volume of episodes from the show's second season. This two-disc set includes five episodes: "Out of Their Minds," based on a clever mind-switching premise in which the cast flexes their collective acting chops; "My Three Crichtons," which finds Crichton (Ben Browder) meeting up with both primitive, Neanderthal-like and futuristic, super-smart versions of himself; and "Look at the Princess," an elaborate three-parter. Farscape fans will no doubt debate the merits of this season versus the first run, and while the stories may not be as strong this time around, the character-driven episodes feature the other qualities that distinguish the show--namely its mix of drama and humor, convincing effects, and the delightful puppet characters designed by the Jim Henson Company. DVD features include deleted scenes, a bio of actress Virginia Hey (and a study of Zhaan, the character she portrays), and more. --Sam Graham

Look at the Princess.......2003-03-07

4 very strong episodes, and one somewhat weak episode: Out of their Minds has good performances by 6 of the actors playing one another's characters in the Farscape turn on the old "body-switching" cliche, some character development, and rather backstabbing bird-like aliens. The three-part Look at the Princess is brilliant, with lots of character development, political intrigue, assassination attempts, confrontations with various bad guys (including an early encounter with a Scarran, and a complex bit of dancing with Scorpy), backstory on Moya, and an intriguing central plot point; like the other great three-part arc episodes (Lies, Guns and Money, and the interrupted Nerve/Hidden Memory/Family Ties), it really pushes the series along and bears rewatching again and again. My Three Crichtons, on the other hand, is just a rewrite of the old "split into two halves" SF cliche with the two halves being "past Crichton" and "future Crichton," but with the original combined Crichton being kept around for safety. Tiny amount of character development, but really not up to the standards of the other episodes.

The Cows Have Not Come Home.......2002-10-30

This review is not meant to criticize the phenomenal series, but to draw attention to lack of quality in the DVD release. The first season of Farscape on DVD established a quality of excellence that has yet to be matched by the second season. There is a definant lack of the highly informative, as well as entertaining commentaries thus far in the second season. Character backstories as well as alien encounters have been diminished from actual interviews to mere reading material with no additional insight. And this particular set claims to have "deleted scenes." Season 2 had previously deleted scenes available on an extras menu, but this release does not indicate that on either disc. If they were reincorporated back into the program, a "commentary would be helpful to let us know what's new to us since the original US airing as was done in season 1.

I cannot help but to wonder that since this fine program has such a great US fan base, why are we just recently getting season 2 while season 3 is already in Australia? I know that the show is filmed there, but is that any reason to make us wait? And I can't help but to wonder if their DVD's contain even more footage and informtion that is not supplied to us.

I think that the notion of setting four or five episodes per set is supposed to make up for that which is lacking from the season 1 releases. I am grateful that my affection for this program has not been diluted by those that market it for public sales. And although I will miss the future episodes that will never be aired, thanks to the myoptic suits in charge of not allowing this incredible vision to continue, I will not mourn the loss that the vision of what fans have been forced to accept as a definative release of a now, not-so "commercial product" in this consumers' eyes, has suffered from a multitude of selfish corporate wrongdoings.
