Honestly, save your money. You can find reviews on the internet for Farscape episodes free. This book is filled with typos, (I caught at least half a dozen), the episodes are listed out of order, and, well, what made me very angry is that he completely botches a review of an episode, because he didn't seem to understand what was going on. Plus, he gives away some spoilers to what happened in the early parts of season 2 (Not that I mind spoilers, but someone who hasn't seen it yet might be upset by it.) I was very disappointed with this - in fact, I actually kind of ordered it on accident, because I thought it was something else. As a diehard insanely obsessed Scaper, I do NOT recommend this book - I say, just go read reviews off websites.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor Book, December 5, 2002

This review is from: The Farscape Episode Guide for Season One: An Unofficial Guide with Critiques (Paperback)

The book has decent summaries of the episodes, but the episode critiques often are very weak. While they offer occasional insight, they frequently nitpick or resort to vulgar feminist rants. In several cases it is clear the author completely misses the point of an episode, or even the show itself. If you are a thoughtful, educated fan of the show, the book will likely really annoy you.

1.0 out of 5 stars A waste of time and money, August 28, 2002

This author doesn't even seem to like the show. He loves Zahn but that is about it. Factual errors, thin skinned about jokes, and way over sensitive to imagined woman hating. He made a few good points but not worth the time or the money.
