DVD Farscape - Season 4, Collection 3
In the episodes contained in this volume, Farscape's fourth season finally kicks into gear and does some of the most surprising things a television show has ever done. The first three episodes are all Farscape classics, which take our expectations and jump up and down on them. "Unrealized Realities" takes John Crichton (Ben Browder) through a wormhole to be interrogated by a creature who regards the Ancients (who put the knowledge of wormhole technology in his brain) as annoying bumblers and who tells him a lot about time and about alternate universes. This gives the cast a chance to play each other again--Claudia Black's performance as Chiana is particularly disorientating. In "Kansas" John finds himself finally back on Earth, during his own adolescence, with the task of ensuring that his father does not die in the Challenger explosion and alter his personal history. The visit to his long-missed home continues in "Terra Firma," when the crew of Moya have to cope with Bush's America and John discovers the hard way--politics, family, old girlfriends, alien assassins--that you cannot go home again. Lastly in the moderately weaker "Twice Shy," Chiana (Gigi Edgeley) and the others learn that no good deed goes unpunished, as a slave they rescue turns out to be one of the more deadly individual menaces they have ever faced. --Roz Kaveney
If your tired of Star Wrek you really should look at this Series. It is funny, smart, touching and full of action!! This is the only reason I watched the Sci Fi Network, it was a travesty what they did in canceling it, but with the NEW Mini Series coming this FALL you really need to watch Season 1 thru 4. I cant say enough how much I loved the fast paced stories and action of Farscape as well as the interplay of the crew of Moya and the growth of John and Aeryn's love. Its got it all if your looking for something good to watch this is it. For more info check out www.watchfarscape.com

I've been watching Farscape since it began and it's one of the best secrets on TV!This DVD collection answers some of the questions and resolves some of the issues in true Farscape fashion. In "Unrealized Realities", Critchon learns how dangerous his wormhole travelling can be, as well as ends up back at Earth. The situation escalates in "Kansas" where Critchon and the crew must deal with the ramifications of his wormhole travel. "Terra Firma" is probably the best of the 4. It has elements of previous episodes "A Human Reaction" and "Dog with 2 Bones". Finally on Earth, Critchon has to reconcile his former life with the life he has now and realizes the old saying is true: you can never go home again. Tensions between Aeryn Soon and Critchon are resolved in the mercurial "Twice Shy" as we find out the truth behind Critchon's actions and it's outcome. At the end of the 4th season, it was disappointing that we may never see the resolution to many subplots that have been developing for 3 years. It's one of the few shows that can't actually be judged in any category, it's so good. Even better that the loose ends are rumored to be taken care of in the 4 hour miniseries Farscape: Peacekeeper War. But in my opinion, it needs another season or two to make sure all the questions are answered. Buy it, watch it, love it.
Farscape is over or is it ?
I have to say I started watching farscape in the first year and then I stop Why ? I don't know Ok I do It came on on Friday nights and I wanted to go out and have some fun but know I have the all the seasons on DVD and can stay home on Friday night and see it all that I missed and thank god for DVD I love Love this show it is and always will be one of the Best shows on TV and now almost at the end I can't help but cry. and now there is Hope Farscape will be back and I can't wait to see it all
It's so very rare is television programming to find any series that manages to combine both well-thought out stories and wit as well as develop genuine feeling for its characters. This season put the characters through so much and the end with these final episodes shows that the writers were at the top of their game and not simply kicking back and relying on a firm fan base to excuse sloppy writing or half-baked ideas. The twin episodes of "Into the Lions Den" made for an excellent climax for this season's story arc, and the final episode made for a good if not slightly confusing resolution (i.e., pay attention...the devil is in the details here).
I love Farscape. It had to be one of the best shows on TV until the SciFi channel went soft and stopped playing anything even remotely interesting.
Anyway my grip is not the show. I don't like the mastering. Depending on your DVD player you may be forced to watch the comercial previews. I find this unexceptable since I'm paying for the stuff and don't want to be force fed comercials.

This Rating is based on DVD Quality, not Series Quality
First, I am a huge Farscape fan. I believe it is the best Science Fiction TV series - and the sci-fi channel was stupid to cancel it.
Now, the only issues I have with this DVD set is the DVD quality. The sound quality is awful!! In Relativity, it sounds as if the boom-operator was widely swinging his microphone because the sound would decrease suddenly mid-sentence. I'm not sure if it was technical errors on part of the crew or an issue with the DVD. I happen to lean towards the later, because at times, the whole soundtrack (music and dialog) will decrease in volume.
Other than sound issues, it's a great DVD More Info about this DVD Director(s): Andrew Prowse DVD Release Date: Released the 01 July 2003 Usually ships within 24 hours

A disappointment after the superb two previous seasons, the final run of Babylon 5 found Claudia Christian departed and Ivanova replaced by Captain Elizabeth Lochley (Tracy Scoggins), who in a soap-opera twist turned out to be Sheridan's first wife. Sheridan was promoted to President of the Interstellar Alliance and the action moved to a group of telepaths seeking sanctuary from the PSI-Corp on B5. Giving a prominent role to Patricia Tallman's Lyta Alexander, a love story for her was woven with the leader of the telepaths, Byron (Robin Atkin Downs). Meanwhile the aftermath of the Shadow War was explored as the origin of human telepaths became clear in "Secrets of the Soul," and the appearance of PSI-Corp's Bester (Walter Koenig) brought the plight of the refugees to a...
