Extras
What TV Was Invented For: Written halfway through Season Three, this article was a Starburst cover feature, designed to alert people that Farscape was well worth tuning in for.
Uncharted Territory, redux: Ongoing series of re-reviews, as I rewatch Farscape from the start. Eventually will cover Season Four and The Peacekeeper Wars.
Back cover blurb
Flung through a wormhole while testing a new theory of space travel, John Crichton arrives in a universe that no amount of sci-fi could have prepared him for. He soon finds himself on a living ship crewed by escaped convicts, on the run from a variety of madmen and desperately trying to remain sane.
This book comprises an in-depth, unofficial episode-by-episode guide, including categories such as “Buck Rogers Redux”, “Nosferatu in Rubber”, “Alien Encounters” and “Get Frelled”. Covering all three seasons of the show, it also provides a look at the logic leaps, the spins the show puts on classic storylines, and behind-the-scenes information.
Reader feedback
Loved the book and I think I scared a few people on the airplane when I was reading it. I would just start giggling… thank you for the book.

I absolutely love the book. It has become my Farscape bible. I use it all the time to refresh my memory about things that are eluding me, or for quotes. I have recommended this book to loads of people I have met on Farscape message boards as much superior to the official guides. It has the warmth and humour that only a true fan can bring to the subject. I’ve just ordered a new copy because mine is so well-thumbed it is in danger of disintergrating! Thanks for the book.
