Amazon.co.uk Review

This last ever sequence of Farscape episodes is as effective and powerful a climax as those of earlier seasons. The three-parter "We're So Screwed" (a title censored by the BBC in the UK) starts with "Fetal Attraction", in which the crew of Moya attempt to rescue the pregnant Aeryn Sun from her Scarren captors and end up starting a dangerous epidemic on a space station. They get Aeryn back and lose Scorpius; in "Hot to Katratzi", the necessity of saving his worst enemy--who just knows too much to be left a captive--forces John Crichton to gate-crash the Sebacean-Scarren peace conference and bluff his way to success. Seemingly betrayed by Scorpius, John snatches victory in "La Bomba", striking another deadly blow against the Scarren empire. The title of the last episode "Bad Timing" refers both to the show's cancellation--the cast and crew felt real bitterness towards the SciFi Channel over this--and to the cliff-hanger ending; the crew of Moya have to prevent a Scarren ship finding its way through the worm-hole to Earth. Farscape was perhaps the best ever television space opera and certainly the most sexy, stylish, funny and dramatic; it will be greatly missed.

On the DVD: Farscape, Series 4 Part 5 presents the shows in 16:9 format with impressively loud Dolby Digital 5.1 sound. The special features include a documentary about the cancellation of Farscape, in which the cast talk about their shock and grief and fans talk about the "Save Farscape" campaign. There are a couple of extended versions of scenes from these episodes and an extensive blooper reel, much of it hilarious. Also included is an illustrated glossary of terms from the Uncharted Territories and a collection of interesting facts about these last four episodes. --Roz Kaveney

5.0 out of 5 stars Bitter Sweet, 29 Aug 2003
By Terry Else (Norfolk, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Well what a bitter sweet end to four years of excellent entertainment from the Farscape team! The "We're So Screwed" trilogy is fast paced and just classic farscape. Let's not even get started on the last episode what a shock!!
(Bought this DVD from Woolworths and the last episode has no sound effects - all the bings and whistles - damn it, i presume it's only mine otherwise more people would have moaned on here about it!!)

Five Stars and very deserving!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars LA BOMBA FARSCAPE!!!!, 28 Aug 2003
By jason yates (London, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
If you've made it this far with Farscape then you'll know this DVD set is the final starburst for this supreme piece of television entertainment.This disc contains IMO the best outing the characters get in season four's erratic and overcomplicated story arc and wow! what a way to finish ....fabulous feature film quality effects, a huge sweeping epic story arc, tons of monsters and bad guys galore, some delicious surprises ......its a travesty that Farscape ends but end it does and this viewer was happy that it does actually conclude. Not the way it was supposed to and not the way the producers intended but there is some closure here and the final episode " Bad Timing " certainly feels like the end. Its also nice to see the long neglected Pilot finally getting his own story arc in the final hour , this alone gives the final show a very unusual quality. The extra features on the disc are a treat but the outakes special is a must for all Scapers - Touching and funny , with Gigi Edgely's final outake taking on a new meaning when she says " The show's over ".
Farscape. The greatest sci-fi television ever produced. You will be missed. R.I.P

5.0 out of 5 stars Great End to a Great Series!, 4 Mar 2004
Four great episodes to end the series that make you wish for more. Luckily, 2005 will herald the arrival of the new Farscape mini-series to wrap up the loose ends such as that fantastic cliffhanger to 'Bad Timing'. As someone else has noted, this episode has no sound effects on the DVD. When I noticed this the first time, I got a replacement which also had the same problem! I guess this is a general fault with this DVD but it doesn't detract from enjoyment of the episode too much!
