Andromeda Season 1, Vol. 3 (2000) Review

I have a lot of friends into Scifi but for some reason they don't like Andromeda. I tell them give it a chance as even though its can be really campy at times, it can be real good television as well.
Andromeda 1.3 we start to see the crew really starting to work together on the screen. What makes this show work is how comfortable all the actors are with each other.
Each TV series has some shows that are not great. Seinfeld might be expection, but "Music Of a Distant Drum" the first show on the second disc was plain boring. Tyr character didn't get much development in this episode. The lady who takes him in is just plain awful, and her son is no better.
This disc does have 2 GREAT [5] star shows. One "The Mathmatics Of Tears" has simply one of the best action scenes of any Scifi TV show I have seen in awhile. What I love about series TV is the little hints here and there. We all know Becca Valentine has the hots for Dylan and when Dylan is being courted so to speak by a HOT Highguard from the past Becca gives those jealous looks.
Haper 2.0 is simply one termendous. Its was nice to see Harper get a chance to shine. The moment when he goes off on Rev Bem (My personal favorite character) is very emotional. Here they lay the foundation of a main heavy of sorts which the series needed. What Andromeda needs is one anti force that is always causing them trouble every other episode.
I highly recommend this series. The pilot is not great, but once you get passed that it really starts to come into its own as a series and you will start to truly care about these characters. I am already into the Trance-Harper love storyline. Hopefully a bone with be thrown in there later in the series.

Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda: Slipstream Collection (2000) Review

I was pleasantly surprised by this. The product details don't mention it at all, but this IS a "thinpaks" release. The set contains all episodes of seasons 1-5 on 50 discs in 25 dual-disc thinkpaks, packaged in a sturdy, cardboard box. The box is much smaller than the Amazon product photo makes it appear. Placed sideways on your bookshelf it will take up less room than the First Season box set. The artwork on the outer sleeves of each thinpak is the same as previous releases. Artwork on the spines of all thinpaks, when viewed together, portray the Amdromeda Ascendant comin' at ya! The discs in this collection are single-sided, unlike the double-sided discs in the 2-5 season box sets. The content and episodes on the discs are the same as in previous releases. If you already own the previous releases, this may not interest you much. However, if you didn't like the double-sided discs of the season 2-5 sets and would like the space this set will save on your shelves, it IS worth getting.

I enjoyed this series when it was on television, and had to add it to my library when it became available on DVD. The acting is very good, the stories are interesting. Well worth the price...Kevin Sorbo can play a captain as well as a mythical hero. The humor is very good as well as the action.

Star Trek combines with Battlestar Galactica, literally in a couple of episodes, for a sci-fi action series that makes a lot of other ones look poor in comparison. Kevin Sorbo(Hercules:Legendary Journeys) is the captain of the Andromeda, a curiously Federation looking warship, and I mean this thing is a WAR-SHHHip. Andromeda is Star Trek but with strong Battlestar Galactica style action and gritty undertones. Tier Anasazzi( I know that is probably not spelled right) is the TOUGHEST character on a sci-fi series I have EVER seen. Worf on Next Generation with Captain Picard is a wiiiiiimp-ah in comparison. Lexa Doig is another recognizable performer(Stargate's doctor). Battlestar Galactica's modern version makes a stort cut-in in a couple of episodes which is an intershow crossover which rarely happens in any genre. Also remember that George Lucas helped with the original version of Battlestar Galactica's special effects, even if indirectly or very little. Yes, I hope you are sitting down. Here it comes:Andromeda is Star Trek with a crossover from Battlestar Galactica which had help from George Lucas in the original version which means(here it is!) Star Wars is also involved, although no characters from Star Wars make an appearance in Andromeda. Star Trek Voyager is a similar concept. A large, powerful ship is lost galaxies away with little hope of getting home before natural aging kills them or aliens in their path. Andromeda IS SCI-FI. "Nuff said.
