This is indeed a great introduction to the series.

This documentary is obviously intended for those that are not yet familiar with the Farscape-series. Me, a faithful viewer, thought it was more interesting to see the interaction between Claudia Black and Ben Browder, than to see the clips from the series, although it was weird to see them out of character.
The thing that struck me the most about this documentary was the fact that they, again and again, talk about their characters (Aerun Sun and John Chrichton), in the 3rd person. This is obviously because anything else would be misleading, but still, the continous talk about "her" and "my character" makes me think they are saying it because some people might start to think that they are actually real. Ok, fair enough. There are a few people out there that might be crazy enough to think this, but for everyone else, I think that they will be a bit put off, when they have to face the fact that these are just actors.
Great actors! Brilliant! But there's a certain charm in the make-believe of this series. When they continiously state, and not very discreetly either, that they are just actors and nothing is real, it kinda takes the air out of the feelings behind the series. When people are in trouble you think, oh well, they are just actors, who cares. But anyway, thats just my view.
