Description
John Crichton. Astronaut. Flung through a wormhole and lost in a galaxy far from home. He finds himself in the middle of a prison break, surrounded by hostile aliens, soaring through space inside a glorious living space ship called Moya. Hunted by the relentless Peacekeepers, he allies himself with his unimaginably alien fellow refugees and searches for a way home.
So begins the epic sci-fi classic Farscape. A fusion of live action, state-of-the-art puppetry, prosthetics and CGI, Farscape features mind-boggling alien life forms, dazzling special effects, edge-of-your-seat thrills, irreverent humor and unforgettable characters — all brought to life by the creative minds at Jim Henson's Creature Shop. No wonder it's been called the most imaginative sci-fi series in television history.
Here, in time for the series' tenth anniversary, are all four Farscape seasons, 88 episodes, together for the first time in one epic collection. These are the adventures of Moya's crew — Crichton, Peacekeeper Aeryn Sun, warrior Ka D'Argo, azure priestess Zhaan, spritely thief Chiana, Dominar Rigel, Pilot and many others. Like Moya herself, this package contains amazing surprises including hours of bonus materials, making-of featurettes, commentaries, interviews, deleted scenes and much more. Prepare for Starburst!
BONUS FEATURES: - 29 Episode Commentaries, including "Premiere" with Rockne S. O'Bannon, Brian Henson and Ben Browder; "Jeremiah Crichton" with Claudia Black, Producer/Writer David Kemper, Browder and O'Bannon; "Bone to Be Wild" with Anthony Simcoe; "Relativity" with Lani Tupu (Crais/Voice of Pilot) and Director Peter Andrikidis; and, "Bad Timing" which features Browder, Black and Kemper discussing the series' final episode.
- Multiple featurettes and documentaries including "In the Beginning: A Look Back with Brian Henson"; "Making of a Space Opera" and "Inside Farscape: Save Farscape," on which fans, cast and crew discuss the fate of their beloved series.
- Multiple video profiles featuring archival clips and cast/crew discussing their characters and roles on Farscape.
- Over 90 minutes of deleted scenes.
- Slideshows and archival photo galleries, including character concepts and promo photos.
- Production design galleries featuring screenshots, rough drafts and concept slide shows.
- Behind-the-Scenes interviews with Ben Browder, Claudia Black, Anthony Simcoe, Virginia Hey, Gigi Edgley, Paul Goddard (Stark), Wayne Pygram (Scorpius) and more.
- Original TV promos and trailers

 A must buy for sci-fi fans November 28, 2009
Lee Millar (Las Vegas, Nevada)
This entire series is worth thousands of dollars of entertainment for $100. It's sci-fi at its best and anyone that appreciates the genre will not be disappointed. The picture quality of the DVD's are first rate and I have no complaints with the packaging either. I'm sorry they never had a fifth season, but fortunately 'the peacekeeper wars' bring closure to a brilliant and creative television show.
Great November 27, 2009

Great set for a great price --- I first bought the super expensive yearly episodes but then this one came out and I must say I'm impressed. This series is like a 21st century version of the old Star Trek --- even the boring episodes (which are few and far between) have great special effects ---
Farscape!!! November 27, 2009
G. Myers (Scott Depot, WV USA)
Farscape is such an amazing show. The first time I saw it in it's entirety, I sat back and was amazed at how one show could run you through the entire gambit of emotions. You literally laugh, cry, get angry, etc. Those of you that have seen it and love it know exactly what I'm talking about. It's nice to finally see the show get the respect that it deserves in this beautiful collector's set. We can only hope that someday we will see this show revived. The story does continue in comics, and it's great, but makes you want it on television so much more. Anyways, enjoy the set folks, and have a Happy Holiday season.
Most Imaginative SciFi Series November 26, 2009

I have both Stargate series, Star Trek TNG and Voyager, have watched the old and new Battlestar Galactica (both BGs are terrible; see my review for the new series).
Anyway, as for Farscape, I think this has some of the best acting and by far many of the most interesting and varied plots, thanks to the writers; of course some seem rehash of older plots, but many are new and unique, such as having a pregnant ship. I like Ben Browder, but he seems sometimes silly and way over the top emotionally, not as balanced as the other actors; I suspect he'll never get close to an Oscar; he was not improved in Stargate SG1, so I thinks it is him, not the writers. Claudia Black on the other hand is very good both on Farscape and on SG1; she has a great delivery and a good sense of humor. The major irritating thing about the show was Rigel, but it always seems that all shows have to have some disgusting, stupid, selfish oaf. If that puppet had been killed off within the first few episodes, the series would have been so much better.
great fun November 24, 2009

First, to those of you that are upset that this isn't widescreen, let me say that is because it wasn't filmed in widescreen until season 4. They would have to cut the tops/bottoms off the images to do that (you could just do that with your own remote, if you wanted). In fact, most TV shows weren't filmed in widescreen until recently.
I will also note that I have several TV series, and have yet to find any of them with subtitles available. Yes, maybe that would be a nice touch, but, yes, it surely would increase costs.
I have the original DVDs, so I can't review this newer set, and since I see some are saying the audio is messed up now, I will pass. I did stick my DVDs into DVD cases that hold 6 disks each, so that helped a tad on space.
Also, note, to those with youngsters in the room, there are some scenes that parental guidance is strongly suggested (this was a cable show, after all).
This show had been reportedly canceled because the Henson company and SciFi (at the time) couldn't agree on a new contract. A shame, as season 4 was one of their best-rated years. Ahhh, what do they say about the love of money? heh
