The Rating is based on DVD quality, not series quality

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 December 29, 2003

Warning about A.D. Vision and owners of disc changers

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! October 29, 2003

Interviews

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. August 14, 2003

Another strange ride through the Uncharted Territories...

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). June 30, 2003
