The two hour premiere is one of the best episodes of the Andromeda series. It takes off quick, and even allows for some characterization, which many series seem to miss. Though, as soon as the premiere ends, the series seems as if it is going to be a failure. The third episode, "To Looses the Faithful Lightning," is a ridiculous episode to be put at the beginning of the series. But do know, that episode three isn't at all like the rest of the episodes. Four and five are descent episodes, and they both help illuminate the character of Tyr, the Nietzschean of the crew. If your unsure of the series, be sure to start here, at the beginning.

Great charracters, great set up & premise, fantastic acting and sets. This is a show that I think Gene would have been proud of. Great job to Majel and everyone else involved!

I am really enjoying what I've seen so far. I now have the first two vols. and I'm really getting into it.
The only problem I'm having is that every interview I've tried to watch within the "extras" section appears to not work. It plays for 20-30 secs and the abruptly stops and repeats from the beginning over and over like records use to do sometimes when they'd skip. :( I purchased the first 2 vols. at one time and this occurs on all interviews on both vols. Any suggestions? hehe
The show? 5 stars
The DVD set? 4 stars due the the afor mentioned problem.

Being a sci-fi fan always on the lookout for new shows to obsess over, I decided to check out Gene Roddenberry's "Andromeda". I wasn't expecting much, and in truth I didn't get all that much. Kevin "Hercules" Sorbo stars as noble Captain Dylan Hunt (i.e Kirk/Picard) who accidently gets himself frozen in time, via a black hole, for three hundred years. When he is inadvertenly rescued by a salvage ship he discovers that everything he knew has been destroyed and "The Commonwealth" (read: The Federation) is no more. He convinces the crew of the salvage ship to join him in an only slightly thought-out quest to rebuild the Commonwealth, thus restoring peace and truth and all that good stuff.
The bench mark for modern sci-fi, in my opinion, is the wonderful "Farscape", and "Andromeda" is, unfortunately, no "Farscape". Still, it isn't boring, and the sets and special effects are decently tight. The characters range from good (the classy Captain Valentine and the oh-so-sexy Tyr) to bad (the Magog, our ... villians) to the annoying (the whiny Harper). One nice touch is the living ship's computer, Andromeda,, or "Rommie". She gets a human body in episode three, but promptly warns the Captain that theirs must be a professional-only relationship. I don't know if they ended up keeping this arrangement, but I think I will rent the next couple episodes or so and find out.
You might want to rent "Andromeda" to see what you think before buying, as it's not amazing or anything like that. There were a few laughs and a couple of good action scenes, and of course Kevin Sorbo frowning intently at the stars.
Bottom Line: Worth checking out for sci-fi fans. GRADE: B-
