Summary: Farscape: The series
Review: Have watched Farscape from the beginning and many reruns. For a Sci-Fi addict, it is one of the better series to appear in recent history. I am only sad that it has ended.

Summary: You people are way too harsh...
Review: I believe that it was ADV's president that said that this is the only way they could release the series. Henson demanded (and rightfully so) that the audio/video quality be high, so there are two episodes per dual-layer DVD (1 ep per layer). I believe the UK discs are two single-layer DVDs per pack with four episode (2 eps per layer). What this means is that there is nearly twice the bitrate on the American discs and the shows look fantastic.Adding one more episode to the disc would be akward because it would mean a layer change in the middle of the second episode (as well as the diminished quality based on the bitrate). Adding another disc would make them more expensive, and the major retailers won't buy ...discs from smaller companies like ADV. Neither will they buy the bigger box sets... So the choices are: (1) A little more expensive with knockout video (2) Reduce the quality (and I don't think this was an option because of Henson) (3) NO DVDs Given these choices, we should be glad we're seeing these at all... And it looks like V7 may start a slightly cheaper pricing scheme as well....
