Notes
1. The episodes listed herein are the episodes that were filmed and/or broadcast for each of the four seasons discussed in this book. I have not included the air dates for the various episodes as these dates are readily available from a variety of sources. I have listed the episodes in the order in which they are indicated in the companion guides for each season as well as on their respective DVD, verifying each against the other. All four seasons of Farscape as well as The Peacekeeper War are available for purchase from the usual sources. However, as I discovered while editing this collection, my earlier boxed sets did not contain all of the Special Features available on boxed sets with later copyright dates (drat!). Each of the companion guides also provides a synopsis of the plot for each episode. Episodes are not numbered in the guides, which can be confusing, but they are presented in order.
2. Pseudonym of Rockne S. O’Bannon and used more extensively (and with tongue firmly in cheek) in his short-lived series Cult (The CW, 2013).

Notes
1. This list contains the novels and graphic novels that I have been able to find that feature Moya, her crewmembers, and other characters from the Farscape universe. I have read all of them. I wish there were more. I have included information for the two different sets of DVDs that I purchased for the series. As I mentioned in Appendix B, I discovered that the later collections contain more commentaries on the series’ episodes than the earlier ones. However, the earlier ones have some Special Features that the later ones do not, such as information on costuming, creatures, and more.
