Product Description

Product Description

Farscape: The Best of Season One is a three-DVD set honoring the best of the award-winning series airing on SCI FI Channel. The six episodes selected for this DVD set were personally handpicked as the best by Rockne S. O'Bannon, Farscape's creator and Executive Producer: "Premiere," "DNA Mad Scientist," "A Human Reaction," "Nerve," "The Hidden Memory," and "Family Ties." DVD special features include character profiles, audio commentary by Farscape stars Ben Browder and Claudia Black, notes from each episode from O'Bannon, and the documentary "Making of a Space Opera."

The story: After a wormhole in space sends American astronaut John Crichton to the other end of the universe, he joins a trio of escaped prisoners - Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan, Ka D'Argo and Rygel XVI - who have taken control of their bio-mechanical prison ship, Moya. A Peacekeeper officer, Aeryn Sun, joins them when her commander deems her irreversibly contaminated by the prisoners. The fugitives desperately search for their home worlds while trying to stay one step ahead of Commander Crais and the deadly Peacekeepers.

Farscape: The Best of Season One collects six episodes selected by series creator and executive producer Rockne S. O'Bannon. "Premiere" introduces American astronaut John Crichton (Ben Browder), who is flung into an interstellar prison escape on the other side of the universe and must ally himself with the colorful convicts: D'Argo, a hulking warrior with a fleshy Rastafarian mane; Zhaan, a blue-skinned priest of indeterminate age; fugitive Peacekeeper Aeryn; Rygel, a greedy and troll-like exiled king; and Pilot, the giant insect-like nerve center of their living ship, Moya. The title character of "DNA Mad Scientist" offers them a way home in exchange for a sample of their DNA... and one of Pilot's arms. In "A Human Reaction," Crichton finally gets back to Earth, but with unfortunate results for the rest of Moya's crew. Leading toward the climax of the show's first season, "Nerve" and "The Hidden Memory" make for a bold two-parter in which Crichton is reunited with his Peacekeeper Tech girlfriend, Gilina, and emotions are strained as he infiltrates a Peacekeeper base to find a cure for Aeryn's wound. But the story's most important function is to introduce the dreaded Scorpius, who uses his Aurora Chair torture device to extract what he mistakenly believes is vital knowledge from Crichton. Finally, in "Family Ties," the season ends on a tense cliffhanger as Rygel plots with Scorpius, Crais intervenes unexpectedly, Moya's child turns out to be something of a handful, and Crichton and D'Argo must take a desperate gamble.

5.0 out of 5 stars Farscape is truly the best show on television - period.
Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2002
Verified Purchase
I am writing this review with a heavy heart. Shortly after I first started writing this review I learned that The Sci Fi channel/USA Network had decided to cancel Farscape at the conclusion of it's fourth season (which will probably happen around March of 2003). Stupid, Stupid, Stupid.
Farscape is truly the best show on television - not just science fiction television. What the "science fiction" aspect does, or did, was open it up and allow the writers and actors to push the envelope and keep the audience guessing and surprised while offering just plan good stories. The characters and stories are extremely well written, complex, multi-layered, dramatic, quick-whit funny, and often a little (or very) twisted with direction and visuals worthy of any big screen motion picture. It's got everything you could possibly want. There's sex, there's violence, there's partial nudity, and there's colorful language as well as, you're-the-love-of-my-life romance, personal sacrifices for greater goods, humility and elegant prose. And on top of all of that, special effects, costuming and make-up that makes those folks over at Skywalker Ranch and Industrial Light & Magic go, "Wow." (And believe me, Farscape is what the current Star Wars films * should * be.)
Listen, if you don't enjoy Farscape it's just something wrong with ya. :) If you don't believe me, access the reviews of any professional entertainment critic who's seen it and read what he or she has to say. I'll bet you'll find the reviews to be at least 95% positive. But here's the real kicker - they're actually correct! How often does it happen that the audience and the critics are in agreement? I guess in hindsight, this should have been the first red flag that the show was doomed for a premature demise. [Sigh] Farscape is truly the whole package. Did I mention that the powers that be at The Sci Fi Channel/USA Network are stupid for canceling it? Oh yeah, ... I did. Anyway, run, do not walk, your mouse over to the shopping cart and drop this puppy in. Pick up every Farscape item you can find for that matter. I guarantee you will not regret it. The only bad thing is the profits The Sci Fi/USA Network will get from your purchases. [Sigh] There's just no justice in the world - or at the other end of a wormhole.

5.0 out of 5 stars the Scarrans are your worst nightmare and they are coming to a quadrant near ...
Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2016

So, is there anyone out there that doesn't know what FarScape is about? I suppose there might be a few... OK, here goes.
This is the 'Anti-Star Trek'; a dystopian, nihilistic romp into another quadrant filled with Peace Keepers (PK) that aren't, a myriad of boogeymen with tentacles and often shifting loyalties. Technology is off the charts, psi-ability is not uncommon, the Scarrans are your worst nightmare and they are coming to a quadrant near you. The PK's are pooping their pants and here comes a half-Scarran/half-PK that is one of the best 'Villains' I have had the pleasure to meet... from this side of the tv thankyouverymuch. The dude totally creeps me out.
So John Crichton (JC) is sucked into a wormhole and lands right in the middle of a magnificent space battle between a few escaped prisoners aboard a living ship imprisoned by the PK, who want that ship and it's escaping prisoners. JC looks just like the species that are PK and that is not a good thing for JC. AND... so starts the fun and games.
If you like alien creatures, plot twists, awesome costuming (for the most part), great sets, excellent script writing with lots of silliness and pathos, love stories and betrayals, a certain way of leading you in one direction and dropping you into another dimension and a healthy dose of cynical reality about the attitude of humans towards 'Aliens'. Did I mention that Moya (the ship that's alive) and crew visit earth? It doesn't go well but what do you expect from humans, hm?
We have watched this series start to finish at least five times and we still love it. At the end of the series, there was such an outcry from its fan base (I was one) for it to continue that they made a movie so the story could have a good place to end... and it is a GOOD ending!
Highly recommended, buy it... you won't be sorry!

This is one of those really successful Science Fiction series that rank with Star Trek and The Twilight Zone for good scripts and casting, but the added plus of Jim Henson's great puppeteering. I recommend it highly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest Story Ever Told
Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2005
Verified Purchase
I rarely write reviews. But I was moved to write this one. I am the penultimate science fiction fan, raised on star trek and star wars. Avid fan of Isaac Asimov. I have watched everything. But I never found the time to watch Farscape. Finally, I decided to buy the first season. 92 hours later I am just completely blown away by the sheer brilliance and epic nature of Farscape. Not just the greatest science fiction story ever told but the greatest story ever told. The first season sets up all the elements that make this series what it is (and canceled far too soon). You will be introduced to John Crichton played by Ben Browder. An American astronaut sucked through a wormhole into the otherside of the universe. Drawn into Moya a living ship we watch as he becomes the focal point for the future of the universe. Main characters die, the bad guys become good guys, excellent action, incredible frelling dialogue. The story while science fiction is written with great plausibility and depth. Give it a try. Every season gets better and the series finale a mini series (Peacekeeper Wars) is fantastic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful show, wonderful product, but....
Reviewed in Canada on February 5, 2005

I ordered Farscape Season 1 in December 2003. Until recently, I had watched an episode here and an episode there, picking my favourites because I had watched the whole series on Space. I loved the episodes, the extras are fabulous, but the cases are a bit of a nuisance.
I finally had the chance to watch the whole series marathon style, including a plan to watch the more recently purchased Seasons 2 and 3. I had waited on purpose until I would be able to purchase and watch the whole run.
Much to my dismay, I discovered that Disc 10, containing the two part episode Nerve and The Hidden Memory was damaged. Nerve was fine but The Hidden Memory was completely unwatchable.
Imagine the horror!
I had stayed up way too late, watching Nerve, and on seeing "To be continued..." decided I could stay up just a bit longer but it was scrambled!!!!!
Since more than a year has elapsed, I guess Amazon will not be willing to replace it (at least I haven't found a way to do it) so now I'm going to have to spend even more than the $193.19 (total including tax - I bought it as soon as it came out) just to get this one, very crucial episode.
Buy it, enjoy it, but be sure to watch it right away when you can return the set if it is defective.
