Andromeda just gets better & better.......2004-03-18

TV episodes from a sci-fi series collected onto DVD. Watch once and discard? That was true of Andromeda season 1 but then came improvements during the second series. As the characters became more clearly defined, so the emotional interaction fell sharply into focus even as the ambiguity of their intentions (hidden agendas?) made for murkier and more fascinating storylines. Andromeda was never going to be deep or intellectual, but it has become one of the fastest-moving and most consistently entertaining space operas on TV. Look out for season 3 on DVD soon, but meanwhile buy this set - "extras" on this DVD release include some short scenes that were never broadcast and revealing interviews with the cast. Recommended!

Sci-fi at its worst(?) or best(?).......2004-01-28

Depending on how you feel about Sci-Fi and what you expect from it this sereies as a whole and volume 4 of season 2 can be either walking on water or rotting in the pit.
It reminds sometimes of the old Star Trek with it's noble captain, and if you enjoy that kind of storytelling Andromeda is your piece of cake, however if you prefer the crazy vortex of Farscape you might find this a bit dull.
Sorbo is still very much the Hercules but the rest of the cast are either too pretentious or are not given the right scripts.
One thing that this show has going for it is a relatively (for it's budget) good set of special effects, although the blaster/ray/whatever guns a re still shooting the same shit they did back in TNG.
As in every show some episodes are more enjoyable than others and this package is especially not bad (I am more of a farscape fan so I would not call it good, but it works for more people than Farscape as I've just read that the contract for the fifth season has been signed)
Enjoy...
