Rating: Summary: Farscape Review: I am a big fan of the show, but even I have my limits. I really can't see paying over 100.00 for 10 episodes (Five discs). This will be my last purchase from the thieves at ADV. I know they have to make a profit . . . but come on.
Rating: Summary: Absolutely Wonderful!!! Review: These episodes are really Great! the character developments have come along gracefully even more so then in the previous episodes.I really loved ''PK tech girl'' this episode showed alot of range with the relationship between Aeryn and John their attraction is much more apparrent it's really wonderful! and I learned more about Crais in ''The old black magic'' it is intersting episode as well.Crais and John are in battle it is like a video game because of Maldis another alien who is pretty tough to beat.But I won't spoil anything.This show is so wonderful! I can't get enough! bring on the next dvd's!
Rating: Summary: Two great episodes plus no good extras equals bad value Review: I was so excited when the first 3 DVDs for Farscape came out because they had a commentary track for every episode! I thought they would continue this trend with the later releases but no. Just two episodes and a couple of stupid extras that I don't care about. What happened to the commentary tracks!?! Beyond the high quality picture and sound (which makes so much of a difference on my ten inch TV ... that was sarcasm) what do you get? I my as well have bought the videos. at least then I'd get episodes 7 through 12 as opposed to now where I have to wait for 9-12 to come out on their respective DVDs. It's a real shame too because these 2 episodes are really good. In the first 6 episodes they were still trying to define the series. They suffered as a result (with the possible exceptiuon of episode 4 "Throne for a Loss" which is brilliant). At the point where they'd got to these episodes they'd finally figured out what they wanted to do. Both episodes are so great to watch. The evil wizard in episode 8 is particularily enjoyable. Great episodes. Bad DVD. Go ahead and get it on video. Save a few bucks.
Rating: Summary: PK Tech Girl Review: Great love story with action, feelings, great music. Find out your inner self and why men can have a soft side and still be tough.
Rating: Summary: Boxed Sets Please!!! Review: My soon-to-be-wife and I are big sci-fi fans and were hooked from the first episode we saw and eagerly await each new broadcast episode. I did not start regularly recording the show until late in the 2nd season so I would love to be able to buy a boxed set. Like the other reviewers here I feel a bit cheated to have to buy a 2 episode disc when my friends in the UK can buy 4 episode discs or just get an entire season in a boxed set. ....I probably won't buy anymore of these DVD's from ADV until there is a boxed set.
Rating: Summary: Great Show but DVD release is too slow Review: I've recently started watching the show on the sci-fi channel and instantly got hooked. The cast, characters and special effects is everything you could ever want in a weekly sci-fi epic.I bought the first two DVD released by ADV to catch up on the story since we're well into season 3 now. Then I found out that ADV is releasing only 2 episodes per month. I will have to wait approx. 7 more months to view season 1. >:-( Then there is the cost of... per episode that discouraged me even further. I ended up buying Farscape region 2 DVD's from the UK for about... for the entire season 1 and I'm mid-way through season 2 now. :-) It’s a bit expensive but I did save... and the wait, well worth it. I had to switch the region code on my DVD-rom drive on my computer so I can view it. NO BIG DEAL but do your homework if you go this route. Hopefully ADV and Jim Henson Co. will get the hint and start thinking about the fans and not about maximizing profits on nickel and dime DVD sales. I wanted to view the entire season and I would have preferred it to be in region 1 coding. Oh, well I lost patience and ADV lost my money. Too bad for ADV.
Rating: Summary: split decision Review: Since sci fi channel is not running 1st & 2nd seasons eps, this is the only way I have to see them. I do enjoy the alt commentaries on each ep which other TV/DVD's don't have and I adore the extra few minutes that we in the US are robbed of. all the other 'extra's on the dvd are pointless. I do agree that a boxed set of 1st season would have been a better buy. When it does come I am gonna be annoyed that I couldn't wait and had to buy these. For 2 eps the price should have been lower.
Rating: Summary: 2 stars for 2 shows Review: Henson & Co. is has taken lessons in greed and arrogance from Paramount/Viacom and only offering 2 episodes per DVD. What a rip!! They should take lessons instead from HBO and Fox and offer entire seasons (like Sex In The City, Sopranos and X-Files) in a single package. Overall it's cheaper and more appealing to the consumer, which is why those packages are always near the top in Amazon's Top Seller's list instead of Trek/Farscape.
Rating: Summary: How about Box sets?? Review: I bought a few of these after hearing great stuff about the show and I loved the episodes but I wont buy anymore because like the above reviews, only two episodes is not enough for me to pay a DVD every month or so. I want the season box sets and wont buy anymore until they come out with those. Great show though. Very imaginative, good stories and conflict. Recent Star Trek shows should get a clue and watch some of these.
Rating: Summary: Disgrace!!! Review: Having to pay for $20 per 2 TV Episodes is what I call disgrace! DVD was invented for better not for worse! Act accordingly and don't buy these DVD's unless they become available in a much more reasonable price. Please note that I have not seen any episode of Farscape and although i was planning to buy the Series on DVD to try it out, I won't cause I don't like being fooled! Same thing they do and on Star Trek TOS. You 've got to buy 40 DVD's priced 15-17$ each! This will not stand!
