Product Description
Product Description
Flung through a wormhole while testing a new theory of space travel, John Crichton arrives in a universe that no amount of sci-fi could have prepared him for. He soon finds himself on a living ship crewed by escaped convicts, on the run from a variety of madmen and desperately trying to remain sane. This book comprises an in-depth, unofficial episode-by-episode guide, including categories such as "Buck Rogers Redux", "Nosferatu in Rubber", "Alien Encounters" and "Get Frelled". Covering all three seasons of the show, it also provides a look at the logic leaps, the spins the show puts on classic storylines, and behind-the-scenes information.
From the Publisher
Farscape is a smart, sexy and original show, the flagship programme of the American sci-fi channel, made in Australia and shown around the world. It is very popular (the viewing figures increased by 40% between seasons one and three) and award winning (it won the Saturn Award for the Best Syndicated/Cable Television Series in 2001) so, when Scott Andrews proposed an unofficial programme guide to join Virgin's critically acclaimed series, it was an obvious choice. With special effects by Jim Henson's Creature Shop, Farscape's plot of an all-American hero trying to cope with being flung throuhgh a wormhole into space and coming across a chick with a gun, a bald blue woman, a guy with tentacles and a puppet with silly eyebrows, is funny and gritty, anarchic and shocking. This is the indispensable unofficial guide giving you all the information you want to know on seasons one to three of this successful and unique show.

Incomplete, but thoroughly enjoyable
20 Aug 2003
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Forget the high-priced trade paperbacks, this slim little volume has all the dren you need on your favourite sci-fi show.
Yes, it doesn't have illustrations. If I wanted to look at pretty pictures, I'd watch the show.
Yes, it doesn't have much of the behind-the-scenes scuttlebutt. If I wanted that, I'd listen to the commentary tracks on the heinously over-priced DVDs.
Yes, it's written in a breezy, informative style, giving you a handy synopsis of incidents under categories like Nosferatu in Black Rubber and Get Frelled.
The book even manages to discuss the technical flaws within each episode, but does so without taking away from the enjoyment of the review.
The book's only flaw: this is the last edition, and it doesn't cover every episode. The book covers to the end of the third season, and there's lots more to happen to the crew of Moya, but it's still a very useful little book.

Wonderful book for the first three seasons...
2 April 2011
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Uncharted Territory: An Unofficial And Unauthorised Guide To Farscape covers the first three seasons and does a very good job of it. It breaks down each episode to characters, plots, so on. It also brings in a lot of humor, imagination, and some VERY interesting view plots. True, no photos and no behind the scenes stories - but the official books can give you that. Or just watch the features on the DVDs, which have become cheaper as time as gone by. MUCH better than many of the other unofficial books or guides out there. Even covers the TV-tie in novels and a few websites. I like how honest the author is in his views about a lot of the Farscape material and universe.
