Summary: Stop complaining!
Review: I am starting to get a little annoyed with the number of fans who complain about these DVD's. I realise they are far from the best you can buy, but that should not judge the quality of the series.Many reviews protest how individual episodes can not be selected. Is it such a burden to have to go to the scene selection? It only takes a few additional seconds! If you are that pressed for time you should not be watching TV! Responding to the other comments concerning the quality or the lack of on the DVD like the lack of extra features, I think the quality of the marvelous series eisily compensates. Considering how ADV films has scratched up some worthless features to put on the digital menu, I say they are working with all they have. Although the price is rather high, it is only because so few people buy this set. Quite a viscous cycle if you ask me.

Summary: The Best of the Best of Science Fiction
Review: I love the second season. I think it has to be the best, because everything was at it's best. The acting, directing, the action, the romance, the speacial effects all became phenomenal. Here is my evaluation of each episode of Season 2. Note: I am not like one of those Buffy the Vampire Slayer Fans giving my favorite show 5 star ratings for every second episode. The epsisodes here are truly fantastic. No offence Buffy fans but I find some of you to be easily impressed occasionally. 1. Mind the Baby-4/5
The first time I saw this episode I hated it. thoguht the plot moved too quickly and was vague at certain points (espeacially because it was supposed to be episode 2). I am sure others will feel this way, but after viewing this episode a few times I have found it to be solid entertainment. 2. Vitas Mortis-2/5
This episode has two incredible CGI sequences which bring it up to a two, but otherwise, I hate this episode. The mystical side of Farscape rarely appeals to me. 3. Taking the Stone-2/5
Another poor episode with mystical bits and annoying aliens. 4. Crackers Don't Matter-4/5
This one has a really poorly done alien, but also has some
hilarious quotes ("IT'S PUKE?!") as well as a great fire-fight between John and Aeryn. Very not bad. 5. The Way We Weren't-5/5
A great look into Peacekeeper life. I love the marching scene at the begining. 6. Picture if you Will-3/5
The return of an enemy. This episode has its weak bits but some very interesting parts as well. 7. Home on the Remains-3/5
This episode has some really gross parts (in a good way) but otherwise is just plain average. 8. Dream A Little Dream-3/5
This episode was supposed to be the premiere but instead it's told as a flash-back. Other then that, not much can be said. 9. Out of Their Minds-4/5
I have found this episode to be overrated. I don't find the humour all that great and the aliens are rather dodgey. Other then that this episode was rather intriguing. 10. My Three Crichtons-4/5
I great look at the evil in the human nature. A great episode. 11. Look At Princess Part 1: A Kiss is But a Kiss-5/5
This episode is the best of the three-parter. The fight scenes are pretty good, it has a very beautiful set, and it introduces the brutal Scarrans. The story here has a wonderful element of fantasy. 12. Look At Princess Part 2: I Do, I Think-4/5
This episode has some inconsistencies, but otherwise has great action and effects, a new gorgeous Peacekeeper guest star (They should really bring her back), and just like part 1, a fantastic story. 13. Look At Princess Part 3: The Maltese Crichton-4.5/5
Not as good as part 1, but has a very touching scene at the end where John says goodbye to his unborn child. 14. Beware of Dog-4/5
I love the plot in this episode. Entwined with such mystery and deception, and some great fire-fights, this episode is a work of art. 15. Won't Get Fooled Again-5/5
A hilarious episode where John goes insane as he tries to pull himself out of a ruse he is trapped in. Great plot twists and revelations, and a monster of an Alien make this episode one of the best. 16. The Locket-4/5
A great romantic developement between John and Aeryn which is totally lost at the end. You'll see what I mean. 17. The Ugly Truth-3/5
This episode gets a bit tiresome. The recurring recollections from different perspectives becomes a little redundant. 18. A Clockwork Nebari-4/5
The Nebari race is extremely fascinating, and I am annoyed that this plot was not further pursued. Nerri seemed like a great character for a recurring guest role. This episode also has some pretty funny parts, and a very grusome scene involving the surgical removal of eyeballs. 19. Liars Guns and Money Part 1: A Not So Simple Plan-5/5
A huge set and a great confrontation between Scorpious and Crichton. 20. Liars Guns and Money Part 2: With Friends Like These-4/5
This episode also has some inconsistencies, but is still quite good, with yet another terrifying cliffhanger. 21. Liars Guns and Money Part 3: Plan B-5/5
A huge battle scene and great directing and acting make this trilogy the best of the series. This episode precisely expresses the agony that John now suffers, which is brilliantly acted and directed. Ben Browder deserves an emmy! 22. Die Me, Dichotomy-5/5
I think this has to be the best episode of the series! It has an incredible dogfight with a heart-breaking outcome. I honestly get teary every time I watch this episode. This has everything that makes a masterpiece; adventure, tragedy, love, and loss.
Just like the previous episode, this is emmy award worthy, but then of course not everybody puts their faith in science fiction.

Summary: Best Sci-Fi series.. possibly best series, period.
Review: I never watched a single episode of Farscape while new episodes were being aired - I always thought it would be some typical, unimaginative sci-fi show feeding off the popularity of Star Trek and The X-Files. Then a friend made me sit down and watch the first few episodes... and WOW, I found out how wrong I had been.
This series is the single most imaginative show I have ever seen. The characters, settings, plots, and dialogue are all wonderfully fresh and surprising, the series constantly evolving episode to episode. The second season in particular features the incredible mounting tension between Crichton, Scorpius and "Harvey", and of course multiple relationships being born and dying aboard the living ship, Moya. Every episode in this season is excellent, each one tends to get better than the one before it - a trend that continues through season 3. I've watched a lot of series in my time, and I honestly think Farscape is the best TV show ever made. I would recommend this show even to people who do not normally watch Sci-Fi, particularly the 2nd and 3rd seasons.

Summary: Exellent!
Review: In life there are so many things that happen. There are good things, bad things, really bad things. But some times, although very rarely a perfect thing happens. Like rain coming down on a dry desert. This movie was kinda like that.

Summary: Season 2 at long last!!!
Review: In my opinion, the second season of Farscape was the very best. Although many people believe the third season was the winner I disagree. The second season had all of the greatest episodes of the series, includind the hilarious "Won't Get Fooled Again," and the heartbreaking season finale, "Die Me Dichtomy," which has also become my favorite episode of them all. Also one can not forget the thrilling "Liars Guns and Money" trilogy. Some of my other favorite episodes from this season are "The Way We Weren't," "Out of Their Minds," and "A Clockwork Nebari." Although expensive, the second season of Farscape is definetly worth purchasing.

Summary: About Time!
Review: It has been way too long for this DVD to be released. Hopefully ADV can pick up the pace for season three. But anyway.... Season two is probably my second favorite becuase of the awesome acting and special effects. This is the ONLY scifi show that can almost make you cry. Sorry Stargate SG-1... Season two focused mainly on John trying to cope with the implant in his brain that allows his to communicate with a type of "nueral clone" of his arch enemy, Scorpius. The amount of pressure that John portays himself being put to is amazing. The final moment before he completely loses comtrol of himself is one of the best scenes in the entire series' run, and the season finale is nothing short of phenomenal. This season also focused on John making serious friendships with the people he has been with the past year or so of his life. In the first season they thought of him as an outcast, but finally realized in season two that he is much more. He himself holds the key to one of the galaxies major sources of power -- and destruction -- wormholes. Something hidden inside of his brain that he finally doesn't get to until season four, just about when he becomes drunk with invicibilty becuase of it. I would recommend this DVD to anyone interested in the show. If you like it, get season three (my favorite), then try seasons one and four to tie up all the loose ends from the beginning and end of the show.

Summary: At long last-The Season Two Box Set
Review: It's about time those people at ADV Films got their act together and released season two all together. Am I the only one confused by all those volumes? This is the way it should be seen and bought. I have been watching the reruns of this show and I am now up to season 4. Looking back on Season two their are plenty of great high light episodes that come to mind. This is where Johns obsession with worm holes really starts to grow. It's also when he gets the scorpious chip put inside his head. This season has the best cliff hanger of the first three seasons, I have yet to see how season 4 ends. It's interesting to note that "Dream a little dream" was the original first episode. But SciFi thought it did not address the issues of the cliff hanger of season 1 so instead it began with "Mind the Baby". This season starts off pretty rocky as "Dream a little dream" and "Taking the Stone" are pretty weak episodes. It always takes a few episodes for a farscape season to get warmed up. But once your in you are treated to such great episodes as;
"The Way, We weren't": Great background story on Pilot, Moya, and Aeryn, "My Three Crichtons": Great acting by Ben Browder as he plays three versions of himself. "The Locket":Seeing Aeryn and John grow old together brings a tear to my eye. and "A Clockwork Nebari":I don't think TV has ever been so graphic. Great work by Henson and Co. This season contains the worst three parter of the entire series, with the "Look at the Princess" trilogy and the best three parter of the series with the "Liars, Guns, and Money" trilogy. The work done by The Jim Henson company must be seen to be believed, I am glad I at least caught the show now, better late than never, and I hope to see a movie sometime in the near future. It's a testament to what SciFi should be and really raises the bar for television. The Cliff Hanger was brilliant, and the acting by the entire cast is superb. See how far the worm hole goes and do yourself a favor and watch this amazing show.

Summary: ADV rips everyone off again
Review: OK, here's my complaint. ADV released all of these individually for fans to buy. Everyone paid $30.00 for these already. NOW they are releasing them as a boxed set. So fans that purchased the second season already basically got ripped off by about $35.00 when all is said and done. That doesn't effect the quality of the series nor the DVD transfers or extras. This is a great boxed set but ADV needs to get their stuff together and do right by fans of the show. You tick them off and they will stop buying your product. Personally, I'd tape the rest of the seasons at this stage I'm THAT FED UP WITH ADV. This was the best science fiction show on television. It was among the best written and wittiest. Sure, it could have gross out episodes and mundane ones as well but the best episodes stand up to Trek, B5, DS9, SG-1, etc. I'm just annoyed that, yet again, a company has chosen to take advantage of the fan base that supports their product. Maybe this type of stuff is why pirated CDs and DVDs have taken off. It's not that fans feel they shouldn't pay, it's that they feel they've paid again, and again and again and again and again as companies keep repackaging stuff.

Summary: Love Farscape but Disappointed
Review: Season One included scenes from the British release, scenes not shown in the US. I was looking forword to these extra scenes in the second season, and I was disappointed not to see them. There are only a few eposides with comentary, and there are no documentaries or behind the scenes interviews included. However, there are a few deleted scenes included. The DVD's also include actor biographies and character backstories for your reading enjoyment. Overall I was disappointed in the lack of extras. I, like most people buy DVD's not only for the show but for the extras. I would really enjoy seeing some outtakes and more on the actors and crews thoughts on the show. I guess I can always keep hoping, maybe Season 3 or 4 will have more extras.

Summary: Finally? It makes sense...
Review: So many people are saying "finally they released a boxed set". In the forums it's "ADV told us they wouldn't release a box set, so I'll just buy the individuals". Okay people... ADV wants to make money. They know all the hardcore fans of Farscape want the episodes, especially since the cancellation. So they released one volume at a time and everyone bought them. Now they release a box set hoping that the same people will buy it. Every movie company does this... can you say "highly anticipated DVD release of Lord of the Rings"? and then a month later the same movie with bonus footage... It's [something] that they pull all the time to make money. I bought all of season one, one DVD at a time. Then the boxed set was released. I figure I spent about $200 for the individuals and then a nice compact boxed set is out for around $125. I decided to wait for the season 2 boxed set. Here it is... now please, everyone, save your money and WAIT for the season 3 boxed set. It WILL come out.
