Description:
After a forced landing, the crew is separated by an elaborate trap that leaves Crichton, D'Argo, Noranti and Rygel in a lava-filled system of underground caves. While Chiana and Sikozu are on the surface trying to reactivate D'Argo's ship, Crichton and the others are being hunted down by mercenaries who are led by a monster impervious to the fiery lava.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Farscape is great!
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.
Rating: - Farscape is fantastic but, is it ADV's goal to annoy everyone?
It's gets a 4 ONLY because the case it comes in is so bad, otherwise it's a 5.
You already know Farscape if you have made it to season 4, it's great and original. Albeit Season 4 is the weakest season of them all, so I'm going to tell you about the product and not the show.
ADV as many know totally screwed up the first 6 releases of Season 1 and 2 with there double sided problematic disc. So they fixed it with Season 3 and Season 4, but could ADV have picked a worst case design? I have yet to get a case were the tabs that hold the disc in weren't broken on at least one of the disc if not more. Everyone (case) a received came with loose disc and broken tabs, everyone! The overlapping disc make it difficult to get them in and out and while they seem to fall off the tab holders fairly easily they at the same time seem really hard to get out once they are secured by the tabs. I thought more than once I was going to break a disc getting them out.
Farscape is a 5 without doubt, season 4 extras are a little less but that's not a big deal to me. I just wish ADV the company that released the Starburst edition had a little quality control. Granted the Starbust is for the most part, affordable and packed with extras, but that doesn't give you a pass on quality. As I understand it, as of this writing Sony has aquired the rights to Farscape and ADV will not be releasing anymore sets. Perhaps Sony will re-release them in a quality set that is problem free.
Rating: - Like it
The story has improved dramatically since the start. The special effects are reasonable. The acting is good. The characters, I think you will find need more work to make them look visually nicer. Overall the problem is the show it looks like it is on a small budget. Not that this makes a film not worth watching. Having said that I wish the producers had hired some science adviser's to check the science out of the stories as much of it is unplausible science. This would have costed them little.
Overall I would say the series is well worth watching although I do think it is not as good as some similar shows like B5 or firefly. Still after you have seen them. This is worth a look.
Rating:  - Fantastic show
In this exceptional show (I'm a tv junkie, and this is my favorite show by far), these episodes hold their own. The first episode goes in a totally different direction (new visuals, characters, ship, themes) and it works perfectly. The main character is losing his mind a little. These show goes where none have gone before.
Rating: - Can't get enough Farscape
I have to say...I expected a little more in the extras department but the sound quality is far better than the original box set as it has been for all the Starburst additions. I also like that they are sticking with the single sided disks rather than those annoying double sided disks. If you are a true Farscape fan you will want this in your collection.
