Want
to know the inside story of Farscape's
fourth year? This book is compiled with total access to the
show's cast and crew and is packed with exclusive interviews
and photos, a definitive episode guide and even a Foreword
by Ben Browder. This book also includes Afterwords from executive
producer David Kemper and series creator Rockne S. O'Bannon,
and an intriguing look at the future of Farscape...
The
final season of Farscape also means the final illustrated
companion from Titan. I've read most of Titan's companion
output over the last few years. And I have to say that, without
a doubt, the Farscape companions are easily the best.
Paul
Simpson not only knows his stuff, but he also stops short
of dragging the whole thing into geek territory. His writing
is as mature as it is engaging - and that is so rare these
days with this style of book.
Not
only do we get the usual excellent comments and new bits of
info on each episode, but Simpson has even managed to get
Ben Browder to write an introduction. There are also chapters
on the main and reoccurring characters as well as a look at
the creature creation and production design. Also included
is a look at what might happen to Farscape in the future
- with Brian Henson believing that a straight-to-video anime
adventure could be the way forward.
Sure,
there's the usual complaint: Why, if this is an illustrated
companion do we get no colour photography? But that aside,
this is the perfect ending to a fantastic series of books.
Let's hope we see Simpson's talents transferred to other Titan
titles in the near future.
I
must for all Farscape fans.
