If you watched season 1 and the ending part and you wonder whaty happens well in season you are left with how in the hell it happened bnut it explained slowly thoughtout the dvd.

The best part is scorpius and criton they have an amzing feud throughout the series and is great.

The worst part is the special features having no behind the scenes in terms the shooting of the film. it would been great if they put bloopers on.

You got toi buy it anyway cause if your looking at this then yoiu must of bought the first season so really i'm jhust confirming a decision you have already made. So buy it.

I didn't like Farscape at all when I first saw it. Had just watched Blake's Seven get a rerun on Sci Fi and thought that was the high water mark of Science Fiction.

With Farscape you have to watch six consecutive episodes without adverts to start to warm to the characters. Once you do, you will be hooked by it's cleverness. This blows all Star Trek series (bar the original perhaps) so far out of the water that I see Enterprise et all as more of a comedy now. There is none of this episode cop out nonsense that turns every third episode of Star Trek into an episode of Trisha.

Put Pickard and the rest in the bin where they belong and buy this.

Season Two really kicks in just before the half way mark of the series.

Better than Season One with John getting more insane episode by episode until we reach the series best cliffhanger..

The acting is superb, the effects are superb and the package is superb.

Farscape season 2 continues the fine tradition set in the first season. After finishing the season one cliffhanger when nearly everyone was left for dead the show continues with some very good and some excellent episodes in season 2.

About the boxed set

The set contains all 22 season two episodes divided in 5 sets of DVD's containing 4 or 5 episodes each. Some DVD's contain bonus features but these are merely comments and brief promotional videos and are a bit disappointing.
The DVD's have a nice layout but a bit annoying is a wormhole sequence which is played at absurdly loud sound level everytime you select an episode.
The set is nicely packaged but the quality of the package remains questionable since it is made out of paper. I own the season 1 and 2 and for now the package is not damaged but we will see about that when the show gets in the hands of some of my friends.

About the show

The story is about a pilot named John Chricton which during an experimental flight gets sucked in the wormhole and ends up on the other end of the galaxy. There he stumbles in the middle of a prison break and ends up with the escaped criminals on a living ship called Moya.
In the second season we see further development in character relations between the crew. Some fight and tensions as no one gets along all that well. We see some romances develop and some deals get broken. Nobody is completely without flaws but somehow they all pull together in tough spots and get through them.
My favorite episodes in second season are "The way we weren't" where we learn a little bit about Aeryn's and pilot's past and "Won't get fooled again" where Crichton wakes up on earth again. There is an excellent three part episode called "Liars, Guns and Money" when the crew of Moya decides to rob a bank to get enough money to buy D'argo's sun from slave traders.
The best episode must be "Die Me, Dichotomy" which is the last in the season but I won't spoil it for you.

Quality an conclusion

The picture quality is very good as the show is presented in 16:9 wide screen. The sound and special effect remain to be top notch. The creature and prosthetics keep getting better and more elaborate. If you loved the first season you'll love the second even more. The boxed set is much better than buying all the volumes separately.
