I'm going to check out Farscape from Netflix and it appears there is some disagreement on the correct order of the episodes. Does anyone know if the correct order is as they are on the dvd's or the order as aired listed on imdb?

The dvds have the correct order. The original airing order was in production # order for some reason, which was not the intended viewing order. They discuss the reason for the production order on the dvd commentaries (some episodes had much longer post-production times than others, etc..) but the dvds put the episodes back to the order in which they were meant to be seen.

For the most part, the order you see the early season 1 episodes in wouldn't matter much as long as you started with the pilot, but their are some odd continuity problems with certain coversations if you watch them in the order in which they first aired. The dvds are fine, at least the R1 dvds are fine.

All of the Starburst edition dvds are in the correct order. The original releases only have one episode out of order at the end of season two (the season 2 finale), and that was done because the dvds were originally sold separately and they wanted to keep a trilogy of episodes together on one disc, It was a stupid idea, but they do let you know on the back of the case thatr the last episode is actually on the next to last disc, and when you attempt to play the episode it does warn you that it is the finale and to see the other episodes first.
