Never really took the time to watch Farscape before, because you know.. its muppets in space.

I recently watched PeaceKeeper Wars though and pretty much enjoyed it, so when I saw the First 3 seasons selling at a mega reduced price I snatched them up.

The DVDs of the first 3 seasons are all full frame 4:3 and I thought they were supposed to be widescreen. Does anyone know if Farscape came out in widescreen at all?

Anyways i've watched a couple of episodes so far and it doesnt suck. Some things with the show irk me though, like Crichtons space suit he wears in his ship..(open faced motorcycle helmet) and in the pilot episode when he gets tractored into Moya's landing bay, he has a small fire in his cockpit so he opens his canopy not even checking for an atmosphere..

Just wait for some of those back from the dead moments
Like another show we love, narrative imperative wins out over technological verisimilitude every time. Farscape doesn't pretend to be anything but pantomime - colourful, loud and funny

Here did you get the DVD's from? I watched the series from the beginning, but I'm cheap when it comes to the prices of the DVD's of the series.

Farscape was fullscreen for it's first three seasons and switched to wide for it's fourth and the mini.

I'm in Australia. I got them from Big W for $38 each season, previously had seen them for near $100.

The best release of the Farscape DVD's is the StarBurst Edition. Each volume cost $15 - $20 and includes 7-8 episodes on two dual layer discs and some nice extra features. A whole season is only 3 volumes, $45 - $60. Not only do they take up less space than the other sets but they are more feature packed.

I just want to echo that the new starburst editions are really cool. They have a lot of new documentaries and features, and are much cheaper than the old DVDs. You can get an entire season for $45 (at deepdiscountdvd.com each volume is $15 with free S&H) when before a season of farscape was at least $100 or more.

I spent a lot of money on Starburst editions and still did not get them all. Frell! But now it looks like you can get the first season, that I found absolutely impossible to get.
