Summary: Some of "Farscape"'s best episodes EVER!
Review: After a good half season, things really take off in this collection of episodes from the show's fourth season. The first episode, "Unrealized Reality", starts it all off with our hero John Crichton getting taught about the true danger involved with his knowledge of wormholes, along with a rather shocking conclusion. One great kick of this episode (especially for the hard-core fans)is the cast's appearances as different crew members throughout the episode. The next two episodes, "Kansas" and "Terra Firma" are as good, if not among the show's very best. Even the "ship in a bottle" episode "Twice Shy" is pretty good. For a show that was about to be cancelled, you wouldn't be able to say it was on account of quality. Highly recommended.

Summary: Finally, Farscape Season 4 begins to deliver the goods!
Review: Farscape Season 4 got off to an incredibly rocky start with mediocre episodes like "Crichton Kicks" and "What Was Lost" Parts 1 and 2. With the exceptions of "Promises" and "I Shrink, Therefore I Am", the rest of Season 4 up to this point was less than satisfying. But with the episodes on this DVD edition, Season 4 finally gets interesting, and delivers some of the most intriguing, intellectually stimulating, and emotionally charged episodes of Farscape ever."Unrealized Reality" is a hard episode to wrap one's brain around, especially since Farscape does not normally go in for much techno-babble like other science fiction shows. But there is a firm purpose behind it. The wormhole alien Crichton communicates with is trying to show the dangers of wormholes and how they can travel to not just different places in space, but different realities. Altering those realities can have drastic consequences. This episode really brings the whole wormhole arc running through the series to a full explanation, and is an important predecessor to the next episode. "Kansas" sees Crichton and company pop out of a wormhole over Earth, but the year is 1985. Warned by the wormhole alien that his mear presence in that time might change things, Crichton and his friends travel down to Earth to find out if things have been changed. To his horror, Crichton finds that his Father is now set to be aboard the ill-fated shuttle Challenger, and must change things so he doesn't go. The dramatic essence of this episode focuses on Crichton, with his attempt to change things back to how they should be, along with his confrontation with his former self and his late-Mother. The comedic elements focus on how Crichton's friends encounter Earth and its customs for the first time, such as what they think the middle finger means and the correct use of the term "bite me." "Terra Firma" has Crichton and crew return to Earth, but its Earth of the present. Crichton is welcomed home as a hero, but his alien comrades are subjects of freak-show style fascination and suspiscion. Crichton also finds that things are not the same as they were when he left Earth, as the writers brilliantly incorporate the aftermath of September 11 and how it has affected the points of view of the people Crichton left behind. Aeryn also gets to meet Crichton's family, while trying to find a way to win back Crichton's trust and find out if he still loves her. This episodes is an important one in Farscape's history because Crichton finally finds his way home, thus bringing an arc that has been present from the show's premiere to the forefront. "Twice Shy" is a standard action-adventure episode, but is done quite well and the alien attacker is well developed and genuinely creepy. Behind the action is emotional turmoil as Crichton and Aeryn finally begin to confront where they are, and what is REALLY holding them back. All in all, a great DVD edition to Farscape.

Summary: Watch it!!
Review: I've been watching Farscape since it began and it's one of the best secrets on TV!This DVD collection answers some of the questions and resolves some of the issues in true Farscape fashion. In "Unrealized Realities", Critchon learns how dangerous his wormhole travelling can be, as well as ends up back at Earth. The situation escalates in "Kansas" where Critchon and the crew must deal with the ramifications of his wormhole travel. "Terra Firma" is probably the best of the 4. It has elements of previous episodes "A Human Reaction" and "Dog with 2 Bones". Finally on Earth, Critchon has to reconcile his former life with the life he has now and realizes the old saying is true: you can never go home again.
Tensions between Aeryn Soon and Critchon are resolved in the mercurial "Twice Shy" as we find out the truth behind Critchon's actions and it's outcome.
At the end of the 4th season, it was disappointing that we may never see the resolution to many subplots that have been developing for 3 years. It's one of the few shows that can't actually be judged in any category, it's so good. Even better that the loose ends are rumored to be taken care of in the 4 hour miniseries Farscape: Peacekeeper War.
But in my opinion, it needs another season or two to make sure all the questions are answered. Buy it, watch it, love it.
