Summary: Farscape regulars begin to work together
Review: "The Flax" is memorable for presenting the first real intimations of the Crichton/Aeryn (Ben Browder/Claudia Black) romance that will later prove to be such an anchor for the series. The bickering couple is stranded in an energy-dampening space trap and must make some hard choices as they face the very real possibility of impending death. Meanwhile, D'Argo (Anthony Simcoe) must also make some hard choices, as he agonizes over which is the greater priority: rescuing his erstwhile crewmates or searching a Luxon derelict for information about his missing son.
Crew cohesion appears to be increasing in "Jeremiah Crichton," in which John is stranded on a primative planet. The other inhabitants of Moya temporarily abandon their individual agendas to search for him. The resulting situation, in which Rygel is hailed as a god, may be cliché, but it has the virtue of being very well written and often funny.

Summary: Moya's crew actually start acting like a crew (Finally!)
Review: I do not know if it by design but the two episodes of "Farscape" on Volume 7 of Season 1 have a thematic unity in that they find Moya's crew actually starting to act like their are actually crewmates. In Episode 13, "The Flax," Crichton (Ben Browder) and Aeryn's (Claudia Black) Transport Pod becomes immobilized in the Flax, an invisible drift net used by scavenging Zenetan pirates. One of them shows up on Moya and offers D'Argo (Anthony Simcoe) the opportunity to visit a Luxan ship also stuck in the Flax. Meanwhile, Crichton and Aeryn are running out of atmosphere had have to make some hard choices that will obviously remind you of "The Abyss." Any episode that has Crichton teaching Aeryn CPR is my sort of episode.In Episode 14, "Jeremiah Crichton," the earthman gets in a snit and goes out in his ship to get away from it all. Unfortunately the pregnant Moya reacts to this by doing a spontaneous star burst. A quarter cycle later we find a bearded Crichton trying to survive on the planet Acquara where he is fast becoming the odd man out in a love triangle. He cannot get off the planet because something is draining all the power. Meanwhile the Farscape gang has been searching every planet in the area looking for Crichton, mainly because of the insistence of D'Argo and Aeryn. When D'Argo and Rygel investigate Acquara they also fall victim of the power drain. Then things get interesting when the locals decide that Rygel is their promised savior who will deliver them unto the light. Now, I am not really sure why D'Argo suddenly considers Crichton to be a true crewmate and am also clueless as to why Rygel does the right thing two episodes in a row as well, but it is about time. Not that this will stop anybody from going after each other in the future. Right now my big question is what is going to happen on "Farscape" first: Aeryn and Zhaan (Virginia Hey) coming to blows, Aeryn and Crichton jumping each other, or Moya having her baby. I just started watching the series on DVD so this is all news to me and while I have yet to see any really great episodes, I think the first season of "Farscape" is stronger than that of "Star Trek: The Next Generation," and we all know how good that one got down the road.

Summary: Order it NOW!
Review: I have already pre ordered this DVD, and I cannot wait for it to arrive! I have the rest of the previous collection, and one cannot be more satisfied. The Sound and Audio on these DVD's is phenomenal. I have always been a Sci-Fi fan, with Startrek Voyager, and Next Generation, but Sci-Fi has really outdone themselves with this Awesome Series. I was hooked in the first 5 minutes. It's hilarious and romantic. So if this is your first DVD, do not hesitate, Buy it NOW! And if you like Sci-Fi and have never witnessed this Series, Trust ME, You will Love IT!!!

Summary: Enjoyed this Very Much!
Review: I really enjoyed these two episodes.I liked ''The Flax'' so much better on this dvd then I did when it was on tv.The story had more focus of Aeryn and John in this I thought.Plus, we meet Staantz who is actually a female of his species and is being hunted by his kind.Rygel is fun in this one he plays a game that they point of it is you have to bluff it is great! plus John and Aeryn reach a new point in their relationship.''Jeremiah Crichton'' I thought was a okay episode it isn't one of the best of Farscape that is for sure.After viewing the second time I thought that this story wa sprety mediocre.John bascially gets frustrated with the crew and flys off in his module when Moya is dealing with her pregancy and starbursts away and John thinks his crewmates have abandoned him,but they look for him the next 3 months.Then find him on a island where their is no energy so anyome who comes to this planet is stuck.D'Argo and Rygel go down to retrieve him too.John doesn't want to go back but other circumstances ensue and then John does return.It is funny when the islanders start to worship Rygel.Overall I thought that episode needed some work.But if you are a Big Farscape fan(like me) you should definetly purchase this and add it to your collection.

Summary: Won't buy without extras
Review: I recorded both of these episodes off of the sci fi channel. Why Would I want to buy this DVD without some good extras. A commentary track or even production note subtitles would be reason enough. It's not that hard to make me happy. But this DVD cannot stand it's own when the epsiodes are already available in so many other formats. Otherwise.. The Flax is a decent episode and Jermiah Crition is a medicore one. I love Farscape but the first season had a lot of episodes where they hadn't really developed the characters or the idea of having an intracate plot that also had a lot of fun dialog and slapstick at the same time.

Summary: Jeremiah Crichton is good
Review: I see alot of people dogged on Jeremiah Crichton. I liked the episode alot. Sometimes its nice for a change of setting. I call episodes like Jeremiah Crichton Treking (Star Trek) episodes. Yes females will enjoy it but the plot itself was not as horible as others lead you to believe. Also even if the dvd isn't packed with 20 hours of extras the Digital sound and Picture is better then any VCR recording. For the price you can't beat also there is about 5 minutes of footage not shown on Sci-Fi for each episode. I give it five stars like i do all the Farscape DVD's. The flax is a great episode also very funny.

Summary: Farscape in 5.1
Review: I've followed the show since the beginning and its been great. I am a huge Sci Fi fan. I have collected all of the Darscapes on DVD so far...I would never buy on VHS. Having a 5.1 Digital Surround System these discs take full usage of that format being in 5.1. Wether there are a lot of extras on the disc or not (always a plus) its the difference between night and day watching it in plain old surround on the SciFi channel. Keep them coming, and I'll keep buying.
