Farscape - Season 3: Box Set (DVD, 2004, Boxed Set)

Farscape is that elusive gem that sci-fi buffs often spend their entire lives pining for---a science fiction series that satisfies the intellect without neglecting the funnybone. Quite simply it is the best of both worlds, mixing heavy duty physics with sometimes smarmy (but never tasteless) humor that keeps you on your toes. Our hero (and sometimes villain) John Crichton tosses off pop cultural references that will ring bells right and left with those of us who grew up in the 80's, befuddling his alien shipmates in the process, and somehow it never gets old or loses its freshness. The other parties in this little space opera are outstanding characters, performed outstandingly by some of Australia's best character actors and voices, and you grow to love even the most annoying of them. When people die, you cry, and in season three you will cry hard and often. But you'll also laugh and look forward to the next episode before the credits are finished rolling, and by the time you get to season four, you'll feel exhausted and exhilarated all at once. The series is quite simply the best, and I have yet to find anything that even comes close for human (and alien) drama mixed with comedy. Sometimes maudlin, occasionally gruesome, often hilarious, and always heartwarming, in the sci-fi world (and pretty much elsewhere as well) you just can't do better than this.

I loved watching the series, but the dealer ripped me off and never sent me the DVD collection as promised. Don't ever give a new dealer a chance to rip you off like I did. Talk about a dissapointment. I love the series and took the bait from a rip off artist and half.com is mighty slow about crediting my account after this guy ripped me off now. Get it from a reputable dealer and you'll love it. Don't buy it from some new and rising rip off artist like I tried to do.

Vuuuury nice! Just like specified. I cant wait to spend the next few days melting away watching some freaking Farscape! YWAHOOOO

Love this show. Good effects, and drama. Not your typical sci-fi show. Looking forward to buying Season 4.

I picked this up as a Channuka gift for my "Far"-gone fanatic sister. It was a delight to find a brand-new shrink-wrapped set. (She retaliates by getting Babylon 5 stuff for me!)

The set includes all the episodes of Season 3, scenes that were cut from the TV version, interviews with the actors and the author of "Farscape", character histories and more.

If you you've not seen Farscape then start with Season 1. Some of the stories here will not make sense if you don't know how the plot develops. (This set also contains a plot synopsis.)

Cheers!

Fully sealed season in perfect condition. I recived the orded in a timely manor. Great seller. Thanks

The Farscape travel is thrilling for sure. The visuals are spectacular. The momentum of the actors and actresses make you believe you are there and want to join in. Each chapter of the continuing story holds your attention and make you want more. This show should have never ended. Enjoy the thrills.

I moved, in the past, to an area that didn't have the Sci-Fi channel. Believe it or not! I ended up missing Season 3. I'm an avid fan & collector, so this set is a Treasure! I LUV IT! Will be in the market for Season 4 soon.

The order was shipped promptly and was received quickly, the shipping and handling charges a bit high tho.

This is an excellent series. I was very upset when I heard it was cancelled. This is about an astronaut from Earth that accidentally discovers a wormhole and is transports to another place in the universe. He is taken aboard an prison ship. This is not a disney story. The universe is a dark, dangerous, and very strange place. Somehow it forms friendship with this group of escaped prisoners. There are four seasons and a final movie. The fans protested the ending of the series and a movie was produced to end the series.

Farscape is one of the best sci-fi series to come along in a long time. I only wish there were more than four seasons. I suppose all good things must come to an end.
