5.0 out of 5 stars
This is truly the best of Farscape's first season., May 9, 2003
This review is from: Farscape - The Best of Season One (DVD)
If you have never seen Farscape before now, this is a perfect start to the roller-coaster ride through the Uncharted Territories. I have to warn you, though, by the time you finish this DVD, you will be hooked. Farscape is a truly amazing ride. The characters, even the ones that are puppets from the Jim Henson Company's Creature Shop, have real depth and emotion (and that's saying something, for a puppet!) and quickly become real people to the viewer. Farscape will engage your mind and your emotions. You find yourself thinking about almost every episode for days afterward, and each time you re-watch an episode (and you WILL watch them again, trust me on this one) you will get something new out of the experience. This show does not deserve its premature cancellation. If there is any justice in this world, Farscape will be back for a fifth season and beyond. But even it it isn't resurrected, you will not be disappointed.

Best of Farscape season one is quite a trip, July 30, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Farscape - The Best of Season One (DVD)
The one thing that really impressed me with this DVD was that the episodes were all of movie quality picture and sound. There were things that I heard and saw quite intensely watching the DVD that I didn't catch when I videotaped these episodes from television. On the DVD, you can see that Moya, the organic ship that Crichton and the other characters travel around in, has moving parts on it. Watch the first episode scene where Moya comes out of starburst, and you'll see what I mean. The hauntingly beautiful Farscape theme music that was used during the first two seasons sounds great on DVD. As a first season best of DVD, I think that two of the episodes do a good job of introducing people to the show who have never seen it. I liked the premiere episode, as well as A Human Reaction, but if I were to include the first season episodes that I thought were really good, I would have included Throne For A Loss, Back and Back to the Future, That Old Black Magic, and Through The Looking Glass. If I were to recommend one must see first season episode of Farscape, it would be Through The Looking Glass, this episode is what Farscape is all about -- yet it is too bad that it is not on this DVD collection. This DVD is, however, a good item to buy for those who love Farscape, and would like to see it on DVD -- I also liked the final episode commentary track of Family Ties with Ben Browder and Claudia Black -- they are just as funny to listen to as the show can be.

Lovin it, lovin it, lovin it!!, July 23, 2002
This review is from: Farscape - The Best of Season One (DVD)
In case you haven't guessed, I'm am totally thrilled about this collection. The day that I got it, I sat down and watched six straight hours of Farscape. Sweet. The eps chosen are absolutely wonderful (DNA Mad Scientist has always been one of my favorites) and for someone like me who missed most of the first season, it was a geat way to pick up the good, essential moments from Season 1. The only drawback that I can think of is that they could have released more eps (maybe 8 instead of 6) but I might just be saying that because I want to watch somemore Farscape now. I am SO hoping that they decide to do this for Seasins 2 and 3 too.
