I picked up the whole seeries of Farscape for like 40 bucks, but I had to buy The Peacekeeper Wars, because that wasn't on it. 50 dollars for four seasons and a two episode mini-series. It's not bad, but like every show of Star Trek seems to have a conceit of plot that makes little sense but is repeated again and again.

Star Trek, TOS - Episodes set in a world that is exactly like Earth but...Modern Day Nazis, all of the adults have died, running into Apollo, Lincoln, gangster culture, romans, etc.
ST TNG - Holodeck episodes! We have tons of epiusodes that take place wholly on holodecks!
ST DS9 - Mirror universe! Despite the fact that there was precisely one mirror universe episode in the 60s, and none in the entire run of TNG< we have 5 episodes with the mirror universe in DS9.

Etc.

Well, the conceit in Farscape, which got really tiresome after a while, was episodes where some chemical, brain control, telepathy, doppelgangers, dream-drugs, control discs, or whatever was changing the crew's to make them horny, angry, suspicious, pissed off, or whatever, or heighten their normal tension to unbeleivable levels. It's annoying how many times they'll pull that plotline out and dust it off for another go.
