Farscape: Season 4, Collection 3

Movie / Show Details

Amazon.com

In the episodes contained in this volume, Farscape’s fourth season finally kicks into gear and does some of the most surprising things a television show has ever done. The first three episodes are all Farscape classics, which take our expectations and jump up and down on them. “Unrealized Realities” takes John Crichton (Ben Browder) through a wormhole to be interrogated by a creature who regards the Ancients (who put the knowledge of wormhole technology in his brain) as annoying bumblers and who tells him a lot about time and about alternate universes. This gives the cast a chance to play each other again–Claudia Black’s performance as Chiana is particularly disorientating. In “Kansas” John finds himself finally back on Earth, during his own adolescence, with the task of ensuring that his father does not die in the Challenger explosion and alter his personal history. The visit to his long-missed home continues in “Terra Firma,” when the crew of Moya have to cope with Bush’s America and John discovers the hard way–politics, family, old girlfriends, alien assassins–that you cannot go home again. Lastly in the moderately weaker “Twice Shy,” Chiana (Gigi Edgeley) and the others learn that no good deed goes unpunished, as a slave they rescue turns out to be one of the more deadly individual menaces they have ever faced. –Roz Kaveney
