5 Stars Best money spent for the entertainment.
I saw several episodes of Andromeda on the Sci-Fi channel. I was intrigued enough to want to see the whole series. I looked for quite a while and only found the very pricey individual seasons. I was hoping that this set would come along. I spent almost two weeks watching every episode and most of the bonus features. I will wait another year and do it again. I have never gotten a deal like this for any form of entertainment before. If you have the opportunity to buy this, don’t wait, jump on it!
5 Stars A New Universe Full of Fresh Ideas..
This series came at a time when television had been saturated with various “Star Trek” series, “Babylon 5″, and the “Star Wars” movies. America was ready for a good ol’ space western–even before “Firefly”, Robert Hewitt Wolfe developed this huge universe–on a budget!! With only half the budget of shows like “Farscape”, this show brought the action. The characters were interesting.. There were decent story arcs thru the first 2 seasons, while the last 2 seasons were lacking. It was hard to see the show go.. There were hopes for a theatrical release or even a mini-series on sci-fi channel but these never developed… Wouldn’t it be exciting to see Tyre Anasazi in his own spin-off mini-series a-la-”Chronicles of Tyre”…think about it…
5 Stars Amazingly Attractive Andromeda +++
This is “Amazingly Attractive Andromeda” for sci-fi/fantasy/mystery followers such as I [my words in quotes]. I am now very happy that I took a big chance and got the whole show in all seasons when it was easy to do so. This show has everything I look for in sci-fi/fantasy/mystery — including most surely great sci-fi/fantasy/mystery. “Andromeda” is glorious grand space opera with an overall ethical theme [in dedicated support of galactic civilization revival during a future galactic dark age] — supported by a strong starship commander via clever-but-ethical action with his loyal crew — that he has to win over to such loyalty. They are mostly successful versus tricky dangerous situations with various interesting twists along the way.
The captain, ship and crew are very attractive heros — yes, even the ship “Andromeda” is quite a Lady — lovely, sweet, smart and oh-so-sharp. The episodes mostly flow along in an on-going adding-up long-saga — unlike much of the previously produced work of Gene Roddenberry — who had “Andromeda” plotted long ago waitng for creation. The hi-tech, effects and settings are done as well as all of this show — as well as plenty of DVD set features and extras. I am refreshed by such a positive show with positive actors and actions. I avoid much recent media shows as being just too chaotic, graphic, bloody and grim — even if I love the darker “Battlestar Galactica” and “Firefly” about as much as fair “Andromeda”. So — I am wonderfully surprised by “Andromeda” — [for me] the best thing since “Lord of the Rings” +++
