i hear about this series in 2001 which a friend of mine be record off the television each week . i never bother to watch though i become acquaint with the series through the magazine which i look at every now and then in bookstore . i recently purchase series one on dvd and have become addict to this fascinating and original series . the character at first seem unlikeable but it be amazing how fast they grow and develop into a united force . a they begin to care for one another it become easy to care what happen to them ( bear in mind that this be only a tv series and they be fictional ) . however it isn not the pc world of star trek and so whilst every character show a good trait they each have their own flaw and demon that they must deal with . indivual story line mix in with an overall multiple story arc make this one of the most complex and reward television experience i have ever have the pleasure of view . i absolutely enjoy watch each of the character interact with one another . this strange new world we be introduce to be brilliantly portray through the eye of astronaut john crichton and a he learn and adapts to be on the other side of the galaxy and strange alien creature and different culture and be hunt by a character that want him dead and be treat a inferior by his comrade we can easily relate to what he must be feel . a he become use to his surroundings so do the viewer and his compassionate and strong willed and brave character be a joy to watch . i have watch only seven episode of farscape season one and look forward to continue through season two four and the mini series . maybe one day we can all enjoy a season five . highly recommended viewing and well worth set time aside to watch . buy and enjoy . positive .
