I just found out tonight from a friend that Ben Browder and Claudia Black from Stargate SG-1 were in Farscape.
When we first got our cable in 2000 I wasn't really that into watching the Sci-Fi channel because I was addicted to Comedy Central. But then after a couple of years I started watching the Sci-Fi channel. I did see a couple episodes of Farscape but I figured I was too late watching it because I didn't have cable when it started and I didn't want to watch something in the middle and wonder what the heck is going on.
But I've been watching Stargate SG-1 religiously every day at 3pm (Sci-Fi HD channel here is East Coast, then the regular Sci-Fi channel is West Coast so then I get to see it again at 6pm). When I really started getting into watching Stargate SG-1 it was about the same time Ben Browder and Claudia Black came into the show. I figure yeah I missed a lot of the earlier seasons but it's on 5 days a week, I'm sure they will get to the end soon and then start over from the very begninning.
I was figuring I was going to buy the complete Stargate SG-1 series on DVD's for $130 from Amazon so even if they didn't repeat it again I'd have the DVD's so no biggy.
Well, when my friend told me today about Farscape I googled the show and went to the farscape website where I learned they had 4 seasons from 1998 to 2002. So I figured ok I'll go to amazon and see how much it cost per season. OMG They are so expensive. Like $130 for the first season. Hello? Season 2 is $78.37, Season 3 is $99.91 and Season 4 is $126.99.
Holy crap dude! Are you sure about those prices? Then I went to see how much the entire series is with all 4 seasons, it's frickin $484.99. I can't believe it's that expensive. I'm not buying that. I could never afford that much money.
So, I guess I'll have to just imagine how good of a show it was. Maybe the dvd's are made out of gold and diamonds. Maybe that's why they are so much money. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

Hi,
Yes, the prices are extremely high. It has something to do with limited sources. The dvd's have been out of print since 2005. I believe its such a great show that it's really worth the money... even the $500 for the 4 season set.
Here's a way for you to get the series free. Farscape season 1 and 2 are available for free download at http://www.fancast.com/tv/Farscape/2000/full-episodes.
You can purchase seasons 1 through 4 from itunes.com for $39.95 a season.
If you keep a watch on ebay a good deal is likely to come along too.
enjoy!!! I did.
p.s.
pass this info on to all your friends
If you become passionate about the series in time, there is a Farscape Convention in Los Angeles Nov 2009. Its the 10th anniversary of the show so expect a great Con.
You can check out the Creation Entertainment's website. They host the con every year. It's a blast.
