Amazon.co.uk Review
The second season of Farscape expands upon and develops the characters introduced in the ambitious first season. John Crichton's new nemesis is the deadly Scorpius, replacing Crais who has taken the living ship Moya's offspring on a voyage into the unknown. Moya's regular crew--Aeryn, Zhaan, Chiana, D'Argo and Rygel--remain as divided and suspicious of each other as ever, yet somehow manage to pull together at times of crisis. After revelations about Pilot's introduction to Moya in "The Way We Weren't", the writers continue to exploit the show's gift for surprising as well as emotionally convincing character development. The CGI effects, prosthetics and state-of-the-art puppetry, courtesy of Jim Henson's Creature Shop, continue to make Farscape the most original looking sci-fi show on TV. The witty scripts, peppered with post-modern pop culture references and movie in-jokes, are also a breath of fresh air. The result is episodic TV sci-fi that continually pushes at the accepted boundaries of the genre. --Mark Walker

From the Back Cover
"Look at the Princess"
To keep the peace, Crichton is forced to propose to a princess following the discovery that they are a perfect match for procreation.
Crichton is rescued from an assassination attempt by a surprising ally, only to be handed over to Scorpius ...
While Aeryn remains lost and injured in the Barren Lands, Crichton loses his head...
Crichton is sucked into a mysterious orb only to be spat out again accompanied by two others--both an evolved and a devolved replicant of himself
D'Argo's life hangs in the balance as the rest of the crew frantically search Moya for the parasite that attacked him. The question is, are they chasing the right thing?
A series that goes from strength to stength.

You can't help but be amazed by this series. Not only does it push back the boundries of science fiction set by shows such as Startrek but it consistantly comes up with winning story lines. This set of DVDs is no exception. Half way through the second series we are given a three part story arc that wouldn't look out of place in the cinema. Containing all the elements that has made Farscape the best new sci-fi series on T.V. Romance, action, suspense with the splash of wicked comedy that gives Farscape it's edge. With the evil Scorpius chasing John the crew of Moya find themselves marooned on an ex-peacekeeper planet where John is forced to marry the princess. As any avid Farscape fan will tell you this is going to play havoc with his budding relationship with Aeryn. Ben Browder and Claudia Black put in stirling performances alongside some of the best one-off characters of the series. The second DVD gives you another set of episodes that don't lack in the development of the main cast. My Three Crichtons is a moralistic episode that may not appeal to the new viewer but will make the Farscape fan sit and think. We are alsp treated to a view of Aeryn's softer side in Look after the Dog. Overall a good collection of episodes with a nice set of extras that make the DVDs the good value for money. A series to watch and re-watch.
