One of the better sci fi series (despite the muppet factor), and one of the few to hit it bang-on the first season.
The dvds went out of production years ago due to some kind of squabble over rights or something. Netflix didn't even had a complete set.
They're now re-released either season by season or the complete series.
I went through Amazon at $38 for season 1, or get the entire series for ~$105.

Wait, YOU have never watched Farscape? I'm soo disappointed. LOL
The show has a lot of style and dialogue close in quality to Firefly's. Very original episodes and ongoing plotlines.

Hey guys,

Just an FYI - I went out to my local Best Buy in Atlanta tonight and picked up the boxed set for $69.99 (part of a web special). It even included the Peace Keeper Wars (a 4-hour mini-series wrap up). It's back-ordered off the Best Buy website already but make sure to check locally as some units may still exist in your neighborhood store. I got the last copy at the Buckhead location.

The quality of the DVDs seems really good as I checked out the first disc tonight and it was amazing seeing it again especially on my 120" system. wink Highly recommended, good hunting.

Edit: here's the link containing the SKU #, Farscape complete boxed set
I suggest you print out the page as the store price will probably be $99.99 and you may need proof.

Oh and to Panzer - if you like a good villain, Farscape not only has a number of good villains, but also one of the best villains of all time in any movie or show in the form of Scorpius. Since a hero's struggle is often defined by the strengths of the villain, Farscape nailed it with Scorpius. He's stronger/more intimidating than Darth Vader in my book.

I'm shocked you haven't even watched a couple of episodes of this show. Your sci-fi street cred is down, lol.

I'll be checking out Netflix today to see if they have Farscape available. I think you've really sold me on the series Rook. smile

I believe they have added the first 3 seasons to the watch it now feature. You don't even have to have them mailed to you now.
I think you could make an argument for this show being an influence on Firefly. The crew's lifestyle is similar and Crichton is kind of a cowboy like character. Especially when he starts to carry "Naomi" and "Winona". LOL

so this show is actually good? i lumped it in with the crappy stargate shows, but that might have been a mistake. if you guys really enjoy stargate though, maybe i actually won't like farscape. this isn't the one with the guy who played hercules, right?
