DVD Description
Season Four features some of the most imaginative science-fiction seen in the series so far, while always remaining true to the extraordinary characters, passionate chemistry and whip-crack dialogue that have become Farscape signatures.
A great deal of time passes between Seasons Three and Four, which helps develop the show’s extraordinary characters even more fully. More recent additions to the crew, including Noranti and Sikozu – as well as a shocking former enemy – play major roles in a series of thrilling, surreal, and nearly lethal adventures.
As each season has raised the stakes for the crew, this season raises the stakes for the universe itself, with a series of escalating dangers that threaten not only the Farscape galaxy, but Crichton’s home galaxy as well.
• A fusion of live action, state-of-the-art puppetry, prosthetics and CGI, Farscape features mind-boggling alien life forms, dazzling special effects, edge-of-your-seat thrills, irreverent humour and unforgettable characters – all brought to life by the creative minds at Jim Henson’s Creative shop.
Special Features
• Deleted Scenes For A Constellation Of Doubt
• From The Archives – On The Last Day
• Farscape Wrap Speech From David Kemper
• Save Farscape – Featurette
• Inside Farscape
• Villains Featurette
• Season 4 Visual Effects

I know many Farscape fans consider Season Three to be 'the best' of the Farscape seasons; I can't argue with that view, because Three IS a fantastic season with some truly innovative plot twists and highly emotional scenarios.
However, I have to say that several of my personally superlative Farscape moments come from Season Four.
Two of my favourite laugh-out-loud moments occur in this season -- including one which actually had me out of my seat and punching the air with sheer glee! Season Four also contains one of the most gut-wrenching, but stoically underplayed farewell scenes anyone can imagine, as well as the moving conclusion to Season One's primary story arc. Then there is the most thought-provoking and topical Farscape episode of them all: A Constellation of Doubt -- which ought to be required viewing in every school in the land.
Even the totally unexpected oh NO! moment which served as the season's cliffhanger ending -- which WOULD have been the actual ending of Farscape itself, had its fans not raised enough racket to get the mini-series made -- was a cracker. I could ALMOST have lived with it ...almost...
So ...do I give Farscape Season Four a 5-star rating, same as all the other seasons? You bet.
Farscape lives for me, in a way that other series can't hope to touch. My sense of total engagement with the story begins with the opening episode of Season One (Premiere) and carries on to the last frame of Peacekeeper Wars. Farscape has got everything. I am green with envy for anybody who will buy all five boxes of this re-issued DVD collection, and settle down to watch this show for the very first time. What a treat you have in store!

Not at the series which is still as excellent in series 4 as it was in the previous 3. However Farscape was scheduled to run for 5 series not 4 before it was unceremoniously cancelled by Sci Fi Channel at very short notice. As a consequence only 80% of the story was told and there were rather a lot of loose ends that had to be tied up. I know that pressure from the fanbase forced the channel to make the Peacekeeper Wars to finish the story but still it wasn't as it should have been. It is impossible to get to the end of the series and NOT buy the Peacekeeper Wars - the same as not reading the last chapter in a book.
Other than that it is simply excellent.

Farscape. Bonkers. Zany. Off-the-wall. Imaginitive. Awesome. Amazing.
One of the best Sci-Fi series ever made, with some serious good plots, character development & interaction.
Ben Browder gives some amazing performances as a man, pursued through the Universe, hunter & tortured for the knowledge he posesses.
Mix in Scorpius, surely one of the most emphatic / sinister / chillingly evil villains as John Crightons nemesis, you have a great double act.
Not forgetting the rest of the ensemble cast who act their socks off.
This show deserves to be worshipped.

Farscape goes widescreen, goes even more mental, goes to Earth, and...
After the superlative season three (of which there is no peer, either in this show or any other), season four comes along with a big bag of "Meh". Read more
