Seeing the value of the weapon, Furlow kills Jack and takes off with it. In the ensuing chase, Crichton is fatally exposed to the highly reactive Partanium that fuels the engine.

In the third box set of the series, you are left on a cliffhanger as the first episode is the first of part sequence. 3.4 leads off with the very powerful and moving conclusion to that story. It is unforgettable and easily in Farscape's top ten of episodes. The next episode in the set, Revenging Angel, is one of Farscape's most interesting episodes. Without giving away any of the plot, a large part of the episode is animated. This makes a for a very surreal twist in how you view the series as you see them explore less conventional things that other series would shy away from. Needless to say they succeed brilliantly and make an extremely creative and captivating episode. The third episode in the set, The Choice, is one of Farscape's more dramatic episodes. It is a very well done story that conveys deep emotion. The style makes you feel deeply for the characters. It is extraordinarily well done. Even the action based side plot brings with it more dark emotion, making this a very powerful plot. No viewer could help being drawn into the episode by the storyline and directing style. This is definitely one of the better episodes. Finally, finishing out the dvd set is Fractures. This is one of Farscape's best suspense episodes, with a mystery twist. Viewers are kept on the edges of their seats as they watch Moya's crew dealing with one problem after another. It also has the crew finally reunite which makes for interesting emotional reactions. Aside from the main plot though, this episode has extremely important foreshadowing of what comes next in the farscape series. These four episodes are some of the best that Farscape offers. They are vital to the show's story and are vital for any collection. If you want to see some great TV get this set.

Amazon.co.uk Review
Well over half way through its third season and Farscape has plenty more surprises in store. This box set concludes the cliffhanger of "Infinite Possibilities" with the extraordinarily brave "Icarus Abides", in which the battle between Crichton and his Scorpius clone is resolved, but with fatal consequences. Then, in a dizzying change of pace, we return to Moya and the "other" Crichton for "Revenging Angel", part of which is a madcap Farscape take on the Road Runner cartoons, with a furious D'Argo standing in for Wiley Coyote. Matters turn sombre again as Aeryn communes with the spirits of the dead in "The Choice", but the reappearance of her mum, the vengeful Xhalax Sun, creates problems for Rygel and Stark. Across these four episodes the action seesaws between the crews of Moya and Talyn until a reluctant and painful reunion takes place in "Fractures", setting the scene for the final quartet of episodes of this enthralling season. Anyone who has not followed Farscape extremely closely from the very first episode of season one should go right back and begin at the beginning.
