Farscape Complete Series Deal of the Day

[RoJoHen]

Farscape should ship via wormhole.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

That would be awesome...until I get some unrealized reality version where D'argo and Rygel are the main romantic couple.

 

[RoJoHen]

Eh, I bet it would still be awesome.

 

[lennier1]

Still waiting for my set to come. Damn overseas shipping.

^^ Good! At least I'm not suffering alone.

What order of episodes should I follow? The box set is completely different than Netflix which follows the TV viewing episode list.

Dam i should of jumped on it. I just got season 1 at walmart for $15bucks. They had season 4 for $20 bucks. Didnt see Season 2 or 3. Its from A&E ! Walmart online prices are nuts though. Guess i got lucky just not as lucky to get them all for $50.

Watch them in the order on the discs. It's the same as the original ADV episode order and the only way I've ever watched them. Not sure why Netflix has them in that order. "I, ET" is meant to be the second episode.

I assume Netflix went with the airdate order instead of the production order.

 

[RoJoHen]

Well, as far as I am aware, the DVD order is the order in which they are meant to be seen. At the very least, I never really noticed anything weird watching them in that order.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

DVD releases tend to go with production orders and production seasons. For example, Futurama has five aired seasons prior to the movies, but only four production seasons and DVD boxsets reflect that.

 

[T'Bonz]

Or too broke to choose.

I have VCDs of the entire series, which I can toss out now. At one episode to a disc, that'll have me a lot of space.

It was great when I finally got rid of my VHS tapes of Trek. My DVD collection fits in 5 books on one shelf of my bookcase. (I have the original boxes in plastic cases stuffed under the bed.

Having 4 extra shelves allowed me to move my genealogy collection in here.

AntonyF:

Well I paid £100 a season.

But Ben Browder has made it totally worth it.

Dude, I'd so fight you for him.

Netflix must have done something similar with Stargate SG-1. I'm currently watching that on Netflix and some of the episodes aren't in the same order they're listed in at IMDb or Wikipedia.

 

[Starbreaker]

I, E.T.

O'Bannon explained that "there were those at the SCI FI Channel who were not confident about airing it that early, and the network was very caution about what order they would show it in." David Kemper noted that "it plays better to go from a ship-based episode to a planet-based one, as opposed to having ship, ship, planet, planet." (Farscape: The Illustrated Companion)

 

[bigdaddy]

Yes it turns out Netflix had the airdates. I had watched the first two episodes on Netflix and seemed to miss something on the DVD, they just jump right in. I want to see more bad guys. I can tell they are building up to something.

 

[Snick27]

What? I didnt no season one was in fullscreen? WTF! This totally ruins it for me, i hate fullscreen when my computer is widescreen.

And cant get Window Media Player to strech it. Yikes, this sucks.

 

[Skywalker]

It's just how shows were filmed at the time. Widescreen had yet to become the norm for TV.

Only season 4 and Peacekeeper Wars are available in 16:9. Not many people had widesreen TVs when the show originally aired.

Why on Earth would you want to stretch video that wasn't intended to be widescreen? That would make the whole video look distorted.

You should see what i do to old doctor who episodes. Plus alot of people i no use Zoom on their tvs to fill the tv screen and i do that for old Doctor Who on my computer. Saddly i cant figure how to get Media Player to do it. So might have to rip it and play with GOM.

Of course the images weren't composed or performed for widescreen, so...
