5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, Farscape Season 4 begins to deliver the goods!, March 20, 2004

This review is from: Farscape - Season 4, Collection 3 (DVD)

Farscape Season 4 got off to an incredibly rocky start with mediocre episodes like "Crichton Kicks" and "What Was Lost" Parts 1 and 2. With the exceptions of "Promises" and "I Shrink, Therefore I Am", the rest of Season 4 up to this point was less than satisfying. But with the episodes on this DVD edition, Season 4 finally gets interesting, and delivers some of the most intriguing, intellectually stimulating, and emotionally charged episodes of Farscape ever.

"Unrealized Reality" is a hard episode to wrap one's brain around, especially since Farscape does not normally go in for much techno-babble like other science fiction shows. But there is a firm purpose behind it. The wormhole alien Crichton communicates with is trying to show the dangers of wormholes and how they can travel to not just different places in space, but different realities. Altering those realities can have drastic consequences. This episode really brings the whole wormhole arc running through the series to a full explanation, and is an important predecessor to the next episode.

"Kansas" sees Crichton and company pop out of a wormhole over Earth, but the year is 1985. Warned by the wormhole alien that his mear presence in that time might change things, Crichton and his friends travel down to Earth to find out if things have been changed. To his horror, Crichton finds that his Father is now set to be aboard the ill-fated shuttle Challenger, and must change things so he doesn't go. The dramatic essence of this episode focuses on Crichton, with his attempt to change things back to how they should be, along with his confrontation with his former self and his late-Mother. The comedic elements focus on how Crichton's friends encounter Earth and its customs for the first time, such as what they think the middle finger means and the correct use of the term "bite me."

"Terra Firma" has Crichton and crew return to Earth, but its Earth of the present. Crichton is welcomed home as a hero, but his alien comrades are subjects of freak-show style fascination and suspiscion. Crichton also finds that things are not the same as they were when he left Earth, as the writers brilliantly incorporate the aftermath of September 11 and how it has affected the points of view of the people Crichton left behind. Aeryn also gets to meet Crichton's family, while trying to find a way to win back Crichton's trust and find out if he still loves her. This episodes is an important one in Farscape's history because Crichton finally finds his way home, thus bringing an arc that has been present from the show's premiere to the forefront.

"Twice Shy" is a standard action-adventure episode, but is done quite well and the alien attacker is well developed and genuinely creepy. Behind the action is emotional turmoil as Crichton and Aeryn finally begin to confront where they are, and what is REALLY holding them back.

All in all, a great DVD edition to Farscape.

These episodes finally bring a pseudo conclusion to John's quest to return home, only to have all hell break loose again. This is drama at its best, and the scifi doesn't hurt at all. Be sure to catch the 4 hour miniseries (Farscape: Peacekeeper Wars) which wraps up the series on the Sci-Fi channel in the fall of 2004!

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
