American astronaut John Crichton is having a bad day...He's suddenly 5,000 light years from home. A complete stranger has a personal vendetta against him.

4.0 out of 5 stars Scapers unite!, 14 Feb 2001

By A Customer

About five or so years ago, a Red Dwarf book was released featuring full colour photos and a very brief (VERY brief) synopsis of each and every episode. The book didn't possess many facts, and those it did possess weren't exactly illuminating. I was expecting much the same thing with this book, the Farscape Series One Companion. The words "fully illustrated" weren't very comforting either, as it sounded like a good ol' marketing ploy: pretty pictures but with little substance.

OK, the photos aren't in colour, but Scape ain't a children's programme, despite the connection with Jim Henson's much loved (and overrated) company. Happily, this little book contains snippets of very useless trivia, which is what we Scapers want. A lot of the information explains a lot of the problems the creators stumble across in virtually every show, and the ideas behind the characters and situations themselves, as told by the God-like Rockne O'Bannon and equally fantastic David Kemper, who generously gave up their time to be interviewed and write introductions. An example of the trivia held within the glossy covers is "NamTar" is "Rat man" spelt backwards. The Proprieter in the Premiere episode fell on its face with the puppeteers inside, nearly frelling up the entire shoot. The guy playing Scorpius (hail Wayne Pygram!) is a fairly famous band member in Australia. The gal playing M'Lee in "Bone To Be Wild" is Browder's wife. There are a hundred other little facts that will interest those who have even a passing interest in the recent phonomena of Farscape, and enough to bore the pants off everyone else.

Anyway, this little book only goes to show what a groovy little prog the most addictive show on telly is. The most impressive thing this book outlines is how enthusiastic the main cast are, and what contributions they make to develop the most impressive 22 hours I have seen in recent years. Roll on series three!

1.0 out of 5 stars Nothing New Here, 8 Dec 2000

By A Customer

If you want a real book on Farscape, check out Talis Pelucir's Unofficial Guide to Season One...This book, however was a huge disappointment. There's nothing new here that any fan can't find on the Internet for free. The photos aren't even in color. The plot synopsis is taken right off the scifi home page... I waited a long time for this book, but it wasn't really worth it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay but not fantastic, 7 Dec 2000

By A Customer

I must admit that I was disappointed by the lack of depth of information presented in this book.

As it just focuses on the first season I was expecting rather more background information and behind the scenes gossip; but all I got was a brief insight and some black and white photos. The episode reviews were the worst culprit, being sketchy at best.

However, for all its disappointments this does provide an adequate over-view of the first series, and is as good as way as any to become familiar with the fantastic show.

So-so, but would have been better if there had been more substance.
