Summary: Should have gone on for years
Review: Easily the best original scifi to cross the airwaves since the days of Twilight Zone and the Outer Limits. Cancelled because USA Networks was too cheap to pay and too uptight to broadcast such an edgy and sexy piece of television. The sci fi channel's constant crowing about 'original series' when refering to their current boring line up is shown up for the lie it is when shows like Stargate (a decent movie but a boring series) and Stargate Atlantis (you call that original?) are compared to the gem that Farscape is. Sorry Barry but I'd rather watch a DVD of Farscape than a new episode of your sleep inducing line up.

Summary: Farscape was the bomb (or La Bomba!)
Review: As fans and even casual TV views have asked, how could the SciFi network keep Stargate SG-1 and dump this gem of a show? It was only 12 episodes away from achieving syndicated status when it was cancelled in 2003. These last 4 episodes certainly are memorable. In the 'Were so Screwed' trilogy, John Crichton builds a tiny atom bomb and goes to a secret Scarren base to rescue Aeryn Sun. The acting, writing, cinematography, and SFX are all top-notch in what is arguably the best 3-part story in the series. The show's humor is what made it so appealing and entertaining. With subtle nods to Blake's 7, Star Trek, and Star Wars, Farscape still became an original and innovative sci-fi adventure. This set completes the release of all 88 original episodes on DVD. Despite some horrible packaging decisions for seasons 1-3, the 5 DVD sets for Seasons 3 & 4 have all been winners for ADV Video. I can't recommend this enough to anyone who enjoyed this show.

Summary: Stargate SG-1 ? give me a break
Review: Farscape a show I didn't watch at first because of the opening music I found it annoying. But I came across it. Once I saw it I was hooked. The Real reason the Sci-fi channel dumped Farscape was because they wanted a show that did not rely on following each show to keep up with the story. So they dumped the best show they ever had in favor of Crap. SG-1 (namely) is garbage compared to Farscape. As far as the Sci-fi channel goes I do not watch it anymore except when the Peace Keeper Wars comes out. I have every single DVD of Farscape. It is a well-acted Fresh show with excellent dialogue, hip and funny. And when they found out the show was being canned did they let up? NO they like the Professionals they are Gave even better performances. The Sci-fi channel treated them badly during the 4th year changing the show times all over the place making it really hard for fans to follow the show. This show could have lasted 10 years or more with its ever-growing Fan base. I tell if you have never seen it, do not watch it because once you do you will have to see the whole thing! Farscape has been so far the only show that has made me say DAAAAMMMMNNNN at the end of a season

Summary: Farscape Season 1 - 4 dvd
Review: How to star my review. Well lets get AdvFilms release of the dvds out of the way. While there releases have been great the only reason they get five stars is because of the show. Advs dvds for farscape have been lacking, while you get the episodes uncut and with a little added footage the extras are laughable, but at least a little is better than none.
Season 1 - Well season 1 is the start of something great. We get character developement story lines that confound the imagination. The main storyline of season 1 is that Captain Crais is desperatly hunting the Moya crew to get at John. At the conclusion of the season Crais becomes that which he has been hunting, a fugitive from the new Peacekeeper villian Scorpious.
Season 2 - This season we get more into relationships between crew members. John & Aeryn as well as Dargo & Chiana. Scorpious is after John now for a diffrent reason than Crais was, he wants him for th wormhole tech in Johns head. At the end of the season is were John risks it all in order to save Aeryn.
Season 3 - Starts off great, but in my opinion the two Johns and splitting the crew between Moya and Talan made this season a little less perfect than the rest. Although it had some really great episodes this season.
Season 4 - The greatest season of farscape. This season John returns to earth, He has greater control of wormhole tech, Aeryn is pregnant, John & Aeryn get engadged to be wed. The only bad thing that came out of this season was its cancellation after filming of the season concluded.
Farscape Peacekeeper Wars - The savefarscape campain has worked. With the help of loyal fans there will be a continuing story. From what I have read this miniseries will tie up alot of the current loose ends but leave new loose ends. Hopefully if the fans of the show can get it good enuff ratings then maybe scifi channell will either order a new complete season like they did for that crappy show Battlestar Gallactica. If not a new complete season maybe a half season or even more miniseries. LETS HOPE FOR BIG RATINGS SO THE FARSCAPE STORY CAN CONTINUE ON!!!
Well this concludes my first an to this date only review. I am sorry I couldn't be more discriptive on the seasons but there is just to much to cover and I am only aloud 1000 words. Tune in October 17, 2004 for the miniseries.

Summary: Gone but definitely not forgotten
Review: I didn't see the show during it's initial run but have caught up and fallen in love with this show through DVD. I am hoping others can discover the show the same way I did.
I think of the show as Sci Fi with an edge that never plays it safe. Mix in some humor, some wonderful characters and some amazing writing and you got something richer than even Trek has been able to do recently.
The last season was a mixed bag but gets better as the season progresses. I dont think anyone won't be shocked by the ending cliffhanger which is one of the best of this series or any other show in comparison.
Discover one of the Best Sci Fi shows out there.

Summary: PeaceKeeper's War
Review: I really want farscape to continue, when Zan died I cried, then it got more painful when Dargo died and now we see Aeryn and Crichton with their child and I want to see more, I want to see what happens now!
Crichton-Ben Browder is a real kick! I just love his one liners, especially when Aeryn trys speaking like crichton it cracks me up cause she's so serious when she says

Summary: I'm sorry people, Farscape just sux these days.
Review: I watched it in the beginning and enjoyed a few episodes, but it just got weirder and WEIRDER. Nowadays, I can't even watch it because I would have had to see every other episode to understand what the hell is going on. No stand-alone stories at all, but just seemingly, bad ones. I buy them all (as an archivist) even though I have basically stopped watching them. But I watched these recently, and again was dissappointed. There is just nothing here for me. As a reference, DS-9 is my all-time favorite show, followed by the tragic "Firefly", and of course, good ole TNG never failed. I like SG-1, we'll see about "SG-Atlantis", it seems a little stupid so far (but I said that about Deep-Space in the beginning too). Farscape isn't worth anything these days and I'm glad they're canning it. It's stupid, there aren't super cool space scenes anymore (or much less -too costly I'm sure), the stories seem so bland, I have no idea what Scorpious is doing there, none of it makes sense to a casual observer. That's unfortunately, why I think it has failed. Sorry fans, don't hate.

Summary: Farscape: One of the best!
Review: I will admit that I didn't watch this show until the sixth or seventh episode when both my brother and boyfriend insisted that I watch. As a die hard Babylon 5 fan, I thought nothing would engage me in the way B5 did. I was wrong. In the four years that Farscape ran, we saw these characters grow and change and become the crew of Moya, as well as a family. we cared about them and understood them. It was serialized, as was Babylon 5, which is why it was so good. Situations triggered future events, and gave it a sense of continuity. These last few episodes show how much they changed. At first all John wanted to do was go home, but made the ultimate sacrifice in the end to save his planet and both Peacekeepers and Scarrens.
If you want something that is just standalone episodes, go watch Outer Limits. Serialization works because it brings the viewer into the storyline, even the latest Star Trek has become more serialized.

Summary: FS sucks? I don't think so!!
Review: No offense to C. McCorkle "daddeo" - PUHLEASE FS is way better than Andromeda!! FS is a thinking person's show...maybe that's why so many don't like it...they have to think a bit while watching it.
FS is the best scifi show ever. Action, adventure, wee bit o' romance and cool puppets! I have always like the fact that the eps weren't ever wrapped up in a nice neat little package with a pretty little bow at the end of each one. Meaning, unlike any incarnation fo ST, FS characters were not all happy and "everything is right with the world" at the end of each and every eps. FS is more like reality than any "reality" show out there. The characters are real and it has been a joy to watch each of them develop into better people/aliens/whathaveya and into a working, caring team.
Long LIVE FS!!

Summary: Best Sci-Fi show ever cancelled prematurely
Review: Season 4 of Farscape has some of the best episodes of the entire 4 season run. One of the greatest SciFi shows of my time, and it was cancelled. The SciFi Channel cancelled Farscape because of its inability to grow outside its fanbase and that the show was becoming to expensive. I believe it was that latter that heralded the downfall of Farscape, because as Internet sites proclaim Farscapes fanbase has grow and continues to grow. The episodes of this collection are the final 4 of the series. Like all the season before it, Farscape leaves you with a cliffhanger ending to end all. With great dialogue, excellent actors, superb writting, and a take on outerspace that was unique to itself, its a wonder why the show was cancelled. If you like Andromeda, or Star Trek, you should check out this show. You will love it. And watch for the 4 part Farscape mini-series coming later this year. Hopefully that will not be the final ending, but the begining of a whole new chapter in Farscape.
