Forget the high-priced trade paperbacks, this slim little volume has all the dren you need on your favourite sci-fi show.

Yes, it doesn't have illustrations. If I wanted to look at pretty pictures, I'd watch the show.

Yes, it doesn't have much of the behind-the-scenes scuttlebutt. If I wanted that, I'd listen to the commentary tracks on the heinously over-priced DVDs.

Yes, it's written in a breezy, informative style, giving you a handy synopsis of incidents under categories like Nosferatu in Black Rubber and Get Frelled.

The book even manages to discuss the technical flaws within each episode, but does so without taking away from the enjoyment of the review.

The book's only flaw: this is the last edition, and it doesn't cover every episode. The book covers to the end of the third season, and there's lots more to happen to the crew of Moya, but it's still a very useful little book.

Uncharted Territory: An Unofficial And Unauthorised Guide To Farscape covers the first three seasons and does a very good job of it. It breaks down each episode to characters, plots, so on. It also brings in a lot of humor, imagination, and some VERY interesting view plots. True, no photos and no behind the scenes stories - but the official books can give you that. Or just watch the features on the DVDs, which have become cheaper as time as gone by. MUCH better than many of the other unofficial books or guides out there. Even covers the TV-tie in novels and a few websites. I like how honest the author is in his views about a lot of the Farscape material and universe.
