Produced in Australia with the incredible talents of Jim Henson's Creature Shop, Farscape is the fantasy-scifi-drama-romance-comedy-adventure you will always remember!

 The second season is where the fun starts... July 2, 2008
Michael Valdivielso (Alexandria, VA USA)
You can tell when a show is going to do well or stink by how the second season goes. And Farscape shot off in this one. Crackers Don't Count and Home on the Remains are both important character driven stories, with lots of action and just plain good acting. The 7 episodes on these DVDs are not just important to the seasons but important to the whole show that came afterwards. If you don't get Farscape by this collection you may as well give up.
A review of the whole second season May 10, 2008
David Bonesteel (Fresno, CA United States)
The first season of Farscape was very good, but it was the second season that really began to demonstrate the full potential of this series. The two primary arcs that will drive the rest of the show are in full force: displaced astronaut John Crichton's (Ben Browder) great romance with emotionally brittle warrior Aeryn Sun (Claudia Black), and the evil Scorpius's (Wayne Pygram) mission to wrest the secret of wormhole technology from Crichton's brain (most notably utilizing a neural clone that is driving our hero literally insane). Season highlights include a spectacular three-part heist episode in which a negotiation to release D'Argo's (Anthony Simcoe) son from slavery becomes a desperate attempt to rescue Crichton from Scorpius and a cliff-hanger that sees one important character apparently dead and Crichton exposed in a way that must be seen to be believed.

Farscape is tied with Red Dwarf and the Stargates as one of my favorite shows of all time. I love the starburst editions for their price and the considerably smaller shelf space compared to the previous release of Farscape on DVD. My one complaint is the cases are [...]. Most of the cases for the starburst collection have 1-3 disc hubs broken. I forget where but I eventually found the case manufacturer and was able to order repacements. The replacements were the exact size but the disc hubs had been greatly improved.
 Farscape is great! April 2, 2007

I started watching Farscape in Season 3. I watched all episodes and reruns I could get my hands on. I think they were INSANE to drop it from television.
I eventually bought the entire collection at once.
The only reason I gave this a 4 out of 5 stars, is because of the quality of the DVD. The inner clips of the box break very easily. The DVD always defaults back to subtitles between episodes, which is really annoying.
Even with the problems of the DVD, I love this set.
Better than previous editions January 12, 2007

The starburst edition has all the extras, of course. But previous starburst editions came on double-sided dvds that I had troubles with, and others did as well. But now you get four single-sided dvds that I haven't had any problems with so far. It's my favorite tv series, I've watched it several times. I guess the first season or so is a little hoky at times (which I kinda like actually). But the first and second lay a lot of groundwork for the characters that make watching the third and fourth a better experience.
