Amazon.co.uk Review
Farscape: The Illustrated Companion Volume 2 is the second guide to the hit SF TV show, about an astronaut shot through a wormhole in space and onto a living ship with a strange alien crew. This volume covers the entire second season with a helpful recap of season one's cliffhanger ending to remind viewers where they left off.
Each episode is covered with quotes from the actors, writers, directors and production crew to accompany the synopses. There are interviews with all the stars and creative minds behind the show, features on the special effects and wonderful puppets and the various alien creatures, a detailed history of all the main characters and a glossary of some of the particularly tricky terms and phrases used in the show. Now you can wow all your friends with some impressive-sounding techno-speak. It's a slim companion and although totally official, the black and white interior does give it the feel of a lacklustre unauthorised guide. However it is well written and up to date and no self-respecting Farscape fan should be seen without it. --Jonathan Weir

Farscape has quickly established itself as one of the most exciting and original sci-fi shows in years, mixing great scripts and characters with state of the art special effects. Following the huge success of the first volume, Farscape: The Illustrated Season 2 Companion provides in-depth coverage of the show's amazing second season. With unprecedented access to the show's stars and production team (including Farscape creator Rockne S. O'Bannon), the book takes an exclusive, detailed look behind the scenes, and also includes an episode guide to the whole of season two, with a look ahead to season three...It's a book no Scaper can be without!

Good guide to season two but could be better.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Farscape: The Illustrated Season 2 Companion (Farscape: The Illustrated Season Companion) (Paperback)
Farscape is a hugely popular series that follows the adventures of John Crichton, and astronaut who is transported to the other side of the galaxy while trying out his experimental craft. He finds himself on a living ship populated by a variety of strange alien creatures. There is Pilot who is bonded to the ship and looks after the crew, D'Argo a Luxan warrior, Zhaan a Delvian preistess and Rygel a Hynerian Dominar. They are convicts trying to escape from Peace Keepers, a sadistic and violent police like race who rule this segment of space. They are Sebacions - a race very similar to humans. One of the Peace Keepers , Aeryn, joins the crew after she is deemed irreversibly contaminated by contact with Crichton and sentenced to death. The ship is being persued by Crais - a militray commander who deems Crichton responsible for his brothers death. Scorpius is also hunting the crew in order to obtain wormhole knowledge from Crichton's brain.This guide features episode synopses from th second season of the show. The synposes are not particularly long but they are accompanied by quotes from the cast and crew. The book also contains interviews with the stars of the show, directors, producers etc. The features on the puppetry and creation of the aliens are interesting and there are character backgrounds and some terms to help you understand what the frell is happening in the more technical bits of some episodes. The book is not particularly long, and the pictures are all in black and white. This is a shame as most of the products I've seen eg. calenders, postcards, websites etc. have some really stunning photos and pictures. This book would be much improved by the addition of some of these wonderful colour graphics from the show. Never the less it is still an essential book for all of us who are obsessed by this brilliant and vibrant show. There are even some hints about what will happen in season three .....

Nice reference material.,
By Patricia Lewis - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Farscape: The Illustrated Season 2 Companion (Farscape: The Illustrated Season Companion) (Paperback)
Recently finished watching the Farscape episodes, and was looking for something to give a little more information and background. I read each of the Illustrated Companions, and found them worth the purchase price. While nothing earth-shattering was revealed, they were interesting and make nice reference books for my sci-fi library.
