Farscape: Complete Season 2 (Box Set) [DVD] [1999]
Farscape Season 2 DVD Boxset - By: K. Alleyne, 02 Aug 2009 
Not much to say reallly. If you are a Farscape fan you will enjoy the continuing saga of this Australian made series. If you are a sci-fi buff you should enjoy it too, however the first 3 seasons are not as enjoyable as when you watch them in sequence. Watch season 1 & progress through to the Peacekeeper Wars. Well worth it & deserves the 5 stars!
Patchy at times but still a great show - By: Sam Anders, 13 Nov 2007 Farscape's second season is a bit of an oddity. The first chunk of the season isn't alll that dissimilar to the first season, Moya & her crew having separate adventures on each world they visit each episode. This first chunk contains some reallly great episodes but also some of the worst sci-fi ever made for television. As a huge fan of Farscape it's hard to admit it but some of these early-season-two-eps are just awful. Luckily the good material is good enough to keep you going though & when you hit the mid-point of the series everything changes.
The second half of this season is amazing, containing some of the best episodes Farscape ever made (including the incredible 'Won't Get Fooled Again') that reallly start to use what the show's makers had learned about it's strengths & weaknesses from the experimental beginnings of the season. It's a bizarre, insane world & it knows it. Every episode carries over into the next forming a larger tapestry of plot-lines & character arcs alll building towards stunning climactic episode. This season principallly follows Crichton's slow-but-steady mental breakdown after the traumatizing events that ended season one, this isn't thrown in your face but rather slowly built up through the season as his behavior becomes more & more reckless & suicidal, this method works especiallly well on DVD since it's much easier to pick up on early than it was when it first appeared on TV. It also contains a few hints at the larger political state around the events of the series but this only reallly comes into play in one three-part story near the middle of the season, mainly this is still about the same smalll group of fugitives just trying to find their way home.
Effects wise the season's pretty much the same as the first. All the costumes/body-paints/puppets for the main characters alll look incredible even now several years later, though a few bits of the CG or guest-creatures are looking a little dated these days. What few pieces of effects do look dated don't detract from the quality of what you're watching here though as they're never there more than an episode.
Is season two better than season one? Yes, it probably is. Sure it's not as consistent & it's got more than the average number of bad episodes near the beginning, but when it's good it blows the first season away with ease, this is where Farcape started what would be cemented in season three - a transformation from an excellent sci-fi show into the best sci-fi show ever made.
Farscape rocks - By: , 04 Aug 2005 Season 2 is as good & better as season 1 the australian version of the universe gets more deep & more intresting, return of familiar faces like crais & much more of scorpy, great series well worth a buy, much cheaper on here as well.
Farscape returns - By: , 27 Dec 2004 well to start it is a fantastic boxset to buy as alll the acting has improved & in one of the shoiws it shows you how pilot & moya join.
If you watched season 1 & the ending part & you wonder whaty happens well in season you are left with how in the hell it happened bnut it explained slowly thoughtout the dvd.
The best part is scorpius & criton they have an amzing feud throughout the series & is great.
The worst part is the special features having no behind the scenes in terms the shooting of the film. it would been great if they put bloopers on.
You got toi buy it anyway cause if your looking at this then yoiu must of bought the first season so reallly i'm jhust confirming a decision you have already made. So buy it.
