Summary: As Tony the Tiger would say, "Grrrrrrrrrrreeeaaaatt!!"
Review: The quality of this DVD is fantastic. It looks like you're watching a computer screen. I recently had a friend over and he hadn't seen Farscape before, so I put it in and he was glued for 2 hours to the screen. The first episode has Ben Browder commenting and the second has Anthony Simcoe; both are entertaining and give great background information on the show's production and behind the scenes information. If for no other reason, you should buy this DVD because Ben Browder is SO HOT.

Summary: The best scifi show ever
Review: I didn't really get into Farscape until I saw the trailer for it on another DVD from ADV. I quickly got the DVD and it was worth it. This first of many DVD's contains the first two 50 minute episodes. The first one is basically how John got on Moya and has some nice battle scenes as well as making contact on Blade Runner esque planet. It introduces most of the main characters in the first season such as Aeryn, D'Argo, Rygel, Zhann and the ever popular Pilot. The second episode is I, ET. The reason for this name is that John meets another speices of aliens who think he's an alien (odd), but the best part of this episode is how Rygel and Zhann try to disarm a tracking device on Moya. The main reason I love Farscape is for Pilot. Pilot is my favorite character of the whole show! DVD extras includes a documentary on Farscape with all the cast, crew and puppeteers. Even more, there is another video featuring Ben Browder talking about his character in the show. The DVD also gives image gallery of Ben Browder and conceptual art of the ship and Pilot. Audio preference is very good giving you a choice of English 2.0, 5.1 and commentary which changes every episode. In other words, the first episode has commentary with Ben Browder and Brian Henson while episode 2 will feature commentary by Claudia Black and Anthony Simcoe. The commentary prooves to be very amusing at times giving reference to some of the stage sets and also gives the american audiance a better understanding of the show. The menus are fair. The main screen features a slighty tilted screen, the extras menu has a slower version of the opening in the back, audio select has a nice full screen of the part where Moya crashes into a bog which is really just a 6 second sequence thats played over and over and the scene selection is overall well done. One thing people might dislike is the fact that every menu has the same music (the opening music). One last thing worth mentioning is the English subtitles which are pretty small but you should be able to read them. Overall, a great DVD that is easily a must-see for anyone.

Summary: Close Encounters of the DVD Kind...
Review: Having been present for the premier and almost every episode thereforth, I am proud to call myself and avid Farscape fan. So, naturally, I was quite excited when I learned that it would be making its DVD debut. :) The "Premier" is such a great ep - interesting establishment of characters and setting - that it still makes me laugh. Crichton is an instantly lovable character and the introductions to the others' will pique the interest of any sci-fi native. "I, E.T." reminds me of Star Trek TNG, the glory days of yore and all that jazz. It gives a thought-provoking spin on close encounters and learning about alien life through the eyes of our very own confused "alien" Crichton. It's a little hokey, but layered underneath the somewhat predictable humor is a deep message that teaches us even more about the unlikely crew of Moya. In conclusion, I was overtly impressed with the DVDs, and can't wait for season three! :)

Summary: An exelent way to start your collection
Review: In this first DVD the first two episodes (as aired in America) are shown. The American release had a few minor scenes cut out due to advertisement time, those scenes have thankfully been reinserted. If you are a fan of Farscape already, this DVD is a must-have. If you simply are a fan of exelent sci/fi, I highly recomend Farscape. Each episode has a commentary option, and if you enjoy "background info" as much as I do you'll get a kick out of listening to the actors talk about the techniques and problems with shooting a groundbreaking tv series of this scale. Overall this is a must-have DVD. I, for one, eagerly await the release of the next.

Summary: A must
Review: If you happened to miss the premiere, you have to get this. It explains so many things you need to know. It tells you how John and Aeryn come aboard Moya, why Crais is hunting him, and so many other things. I definitely recommend this for any Farscape fans.

Summary: Great DVD, not enough episodes
Review: I love this DVD. It has great special features, the episodes included deleted scenes, etc. The only downfall is the fact that there are only two episodes and I have to wait another month for the next two.

Summary: Farscape's Finally Here!
Review: This is one of the best shows on TV today. Because it's filmed in Australia, it hasn't "sold out" to Hollywood and has kept itself fresh and original using great characters and plotlines that would never be done in the US. That being said, the fact that episodes are being released on DVD is wonderful! This DVD not only has the first two episodes, "Premiere" and "I, E.T.", uncut and with crystal-clear picture, but it's loaded with extras too. The behind-the-scenes featurette is great, having background of the show and telling how all the characters were thought up and cast. It also shows how Rygel and Pilot work and all about the other characters' (D'argo and Zhaan) make-up, which is really cool. And the commentaries are hilarious! "I, E.T." was never one of my favorite episodes, but Claudia Black and Anthony Simcoe are incredibly funny on the track and just make it fun to watch. All around, this DVD is awesome! I can't wait for the next one!
