Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
There isn't a sci-fi show on TV that has done more with less than Farscape, the adventures of a motley band of fugitives in a mercenary universe, and the second season of this unpredictable series races to a breathless climax in this five-episode collection. After escaping the clutches of mind-cops in "A Clockwork Nebari," the crew of Moya steel themselves to free the son of warrior D'Argo from slavery in the thrilling three-part "Liars, Guns, and Money." They launch both an elaborate heist of and a Dirty Dozen-like commando raid on the most impregnable vault in the galaxy (run by a sadistic, eye-collecting lizard woman who could be an Alien pinup), while all-American boy John Crichton goes schizophrenic as visions of the show's cadaverous über-villain Scorpius dance in his head. The action-packed, high-powered trilogy is followed by "Die Me, Dichotomy," a cliffhanger finale that tips Crichton's increasingly precarious identity over the cliff. The hostile alien worlds, organic designs, and dark, textured sets are among the most creative on TV, and the dynamic, densely plotted story line approaches epic proportions. It remains a high water mark of the series.

Be aware that, to fit the trilogy "Liars, Guns, and Money" on a single disc, the episodes are presented out of order. The two-disc set also includes deleted scenes, featurettes on actress Gigi Edgley and her wild-child character Chiana, as well as galleries of art, stills, and definitions. --Sean Axmaker

Product Description
Farscape: Season Two Volume 2.5 episodes: "A CLOCKWORK NEBARI" A brainwashed Aeryn and Rygel return from a Commerce Planet with a surprise for Chiana-two fellow Nebari to take her home and "mind cleanse" her as well. Chiana learns her brother, Nerri is still alive and now the head of the Nebari resistance movement.

"LIARS, GUNS AND MONEY-PART I: A NOT SO SIMPLE PLAN" A plan to steal loot to buy D'Argo's son Jothee from the Slave Traders goes terribly wrong when D'Argo is captured in the heist. The crew's attempt to rescue him is complicated by the arrival of Crichton's nemesis Scorpius.

"LIARS, GUNS AND MONEY PART II: WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE..." Scorpius wants to make a deal: D'Argo's son in exchange for Crichton. A plan to use the stolen loot to hire old foes and rescue Jothee makes sense, until it is discovered that the valuable ingots are actually alive... and eating Moya!

"LIARS, GUNS AND MONEY PART III: PLAN B" No money. Angry mercenaries. An injured Moya. And Crichton in the hands of Scorpius! Only an all-out assault has any chance of rescuing him. But even if Aeryn's plan succeeds, can Crichton rescue his own mind from Scorpius?

"DIE ME, DICHOTOMY" The neural chip Scorpius put in Crichton's brain finally takes over, turning him against our crew. Aeryn is forced into a deadly confrontation with Crichton/Scorpius that only one will survive.

5.0 out of 5 stars New Fans Be Warned, March 2, 2003

By	N. Gargano "nokegchris" (Waynesville NC and Bradenton, Fl) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I started watching Farscape into the fourth season....my son finally conviced me to watch it. A little ironic isn't it, since it has been cancelled!
So...I have been buying all the dvds and going back to the beginning. I have enjoyed every episode, even though I know about some of the future. Now to my warning...for people like me, trying to watch the show from the beginning, and for people like me who just purchase without always reading amazon comments, BE WARNED that the episodes are out of order on this dvd set. I watched the final episode of the set, which is on the first dvd, and boy was I confused. I went to a web site that lists all the episodes and of course, I figured out what had happened. So, buy these, enjoy them, but do it in order!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST OF A GREAT SHOW!!!, January 23, 2003

By	Gary Bowden (Fort Smith, Arkansas United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

These episodes is among the best of a truly great show and I can't recommend them high enough!! Just imagine the Liars,Guns and Money trilogy in a theater and it'll put the Star Wars prequels to shame.....Great acting,suspense,humor,drama,writing;what else can be said about a show that hasn't been said before??? Get these for the unconverted and maybe they'll undertstand what the fuss is about!!! Shame on you Sci-Fi for cancelling this wonderful show....

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful ending of the second season!, July 28, 2003

By A Customer

The last five episodes of the second season are truly wonderful. A great story line and set supported by wonderful performances really hook you for the third season. One simply needs to know how things turn out. I am truly impressed with the quality and scope of Farscape. If you have not watched the show yet you should go back to the very beginning of the first season and watch all the episodes. It is a great story! As mentioned in a review below you should make sure to watch the second episode on the FIRST DVD last (the episodes are out of order). Outstanding show! Shame on the Sci-Fi channel for cancelling this creative work.
