Of course, as a dedicated Scaper I would like to poke you gently to do whatever you can to gain that $500 spare cash, and also to check out Ebay :D

I assume that the other seasons will be coming out the same way, right? I don't see why not...

Well chrisisall, I actually like Firefly more. And I think one of the reasons is that Firefly pulled everything together and it seemed that we were brought in in the middle of a story that was already going, had already worked it's kinks out. With Farscape, it takes a little while for it to get rolling, but by the last eight episodes of the first season, the story got darker (better) and the goal of getting home wasn't all there was anymore.

Oh, to answer the PKW question, there is a very brief recap of the show during the mini, but even without it, you should do fine. It will be odd for you to watch the early eps after seeing the mini though, things changed, a lot. Enjoy.

I did some online pokin' around just now and discovered "starburst" editions of Farscape- 3 seperatly sold disks @ about $20 a piece, it seems like you can get the whole first season for just under $60- if the first season consisted of 21 episodes...

This could be shiny...

AnotherFireflyfan, do you see a darker tone kick in about mid- first season on Farscape, as i've read about? How do you feel about the makeup effects?

Crais! I never thought anyone else ever paid attention to Crais. Well, my reasons may not be the same, but he really is an integral part of the series. (Am I the only Lani Tupu fan?)

Also, Chrisisall, I 'm guessing from your posts you are going to watch the series entirely? Every minute is worth it, promise. There are some really great episodes that you won't find on the Starburst editions, which I think is kinda like cliff notes.
Every episode is intertwined in some way. I've rewatched the series and on second or tenth viewing , there's more, there are so many details which is what I love about Farscape.

Thinking netflix is the cheapest way to watch other than borrowing.

Oh and Pilot rocks for muppetry.

Wrong, Starburst editions are complete. In fact, they've done new commentaries and features just for them, so they're actually MORE complete than the previous discs, in addition to being affordable. :)
