DVD Reviews of Farscape - Season 1, Collection 3 (Starburst Edition)
DVD Review: I have every episode and want more.... it sounds like everyone feels the same what does that tell you?
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the top 3 series every made in my view. Great characters, great story line, and the action... DVD Review: Great show....
Summary: 3 Stars
I love Farscape, so any review I do about them that has less than five stars hurts me. But I have to say, the double sided DVDs sometimes seem to freeze or skip. Not alot or I would have demanded a replacement, not that there are any, but double sided DVDs are just not the best way to get a show out to the public, even if it somehow makes them cheaper.
On the other hand there were a lot more extras in the Starburst edition than the other DVDs and the other seasons are available to get NEW, not used, so I am looking forward to the other seasons. Too bad the first season is so hard to get and costs so much. More people would become Fans and spend more money on the DVDs.
DVD Review: Farscape is great!
Summary: 4 Stars
I started watching Farscape in Season 3. I watched all episodes and reruns I could get my hands on. I think they were INSANE to drop it from television.
I eventually bought the entire collection at once.
The only reason I gave this a 4 out of 5 stars, is because of the quality of the DVD. The inner clips of the box break very easily. The DVD always defaults back to subtitles between episodes, which is really annoying.
Even with the problems of the DVD, I love this set.
DVD Review: And still the best science fiction show ever created!
Summary: 5 Stars
The stories just keep getting better and better. Very original, very intelligent and very sexy!
And Ben Browder makes for good eye candy.
If only there were more shows like this one.
DVD Review: Now on Single Sided disks
Summary: 5 Stars
After many complaints, ADV has chosen to re-release all of Starburst Seasons 1 and 2 on SINGLE SIDED disks. The positive effects that come from this change are many:
1. DVD quality is No Longer low. Disks play well, no glitches, no freezes, etc.
2. The titles of the episodes are marked clearly on each disk. No need to squint and rotate the DVD as you try to read some tiny font.
3. No need to flip the disk over when you want to watch other episodes. This is mostly beneficial to the people who own DVD players that can hold multiple disks at once.
4. Disk artwork :-D
There are then, certain faults that result from the change as well, all dealing with packaging quality:
--> Disks are stored in such a way that 2 are attached to each side of the DVD case. This means that in order to get to the disk at the bottom, you first have to remove the one at the top. If this isn't annoying enough, it turns out that all of the DVD buttons that hold the top disks don't work very well. Pushing the button doesn't pop the disks out as there are other plastic pieces that hold it in place. You have to push those with your fingers in order to get a disk out, and that can get really painful. If you're not careful, you might very well break a DVD in half.
My personal solution was to go and get my own DVD cases that worked properly. Having to find multi-disk cases with identical dimensions as that of the ADV ones shouldn't be that difficult. Also try to find ones that have clippings for literature, if you want to keep one in your DVD case. This Starburst release comes with a separate page listing disk content/episode synopsis, but there's no where to adequately store it.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
Having that said, the content of the Starburst itself is excellent. As you know, all of the extra features from the original releases, plus many new ones (mainly the commentaries) are included. Subtitles have finally become available, and some disks don't have those annoying ADV commercials that blighted each of the original Farscape releases.
As for the quality of the show itself, that's something I won't discuss. If you haven't made up your mind about whether you like/dislike the series, then you've probably read enough reviews to get an idea of what most audience think about Farscape. I personally feel that Starburst Collection 1.3 contains the best lot of the episodes in the first Season.
