I never could understand Tribune's need to fix a series that isn't broken. It's like Tribune's "Earth: Final Conflict" all over again. They sure made a big mess out of that series.

ADV Films Inc. has just acquired the DVD rights to the first three seasons of Earth Final Conflict. Jeez, that was a show that seemed to re-invent itself each season, and not always to its benefit. What a creative quagmire. Can't wait to hear an audio commentary from the cast and crew on that one!

Why the constant "dumbing-down" of Tribune shows? I think Tribune's problem is their insistence that all of their sci-fi shows appeal not only to a core of literate sci-fi fans but to a broader non-skiffy audience as well, which Tribune seems to regard as a bunch of furry knuckle-walkers. Their contempt for the intelligence of their viewers always amazes me.

By the way, does anyone know a site that has a like week by week ratings report?(doesn't have to be too recent) Or does that cost money to get access to?

I would be interested to see how the ratings have done, I know at least in the US they haven't improved.

Zap2it.com has ratings for free. i can't recall how extensive at the moment, but it's a place to start.

Just out of curiosity, what happened in the end of earth final conflict?

And I'm getting out of this that it would be useless for me to try and figure out when andromida is on and watch it again, right?

By the way, I think the not good untill season two is almost science, thats why I was amazed by firefly, it was good from the start.

So the canceled it, guess that means you got to suck in season one to stay on the air.

Oh, and don't be negative about the season 1 story arc, first seasons of a TV show almost NEVER have major story arcs


Hmmm, I was just thinking of a counter-example to that. I'll give you three guesses.

I just watched Ariel again. That final scene with Simon and his sister -- "No, mei mei, time to wake up." (not to mention the scene with Jayne in the airlock) Damn... I almost cried and I've seen that episode five times at least. sigh... even the tv episodes of this show are better than most movie fare out there. Maybe we should send postcards to Universal......

Man... I haven't watched Andromeda since the end of season 2... which I only watched till the end out of loyalty and lingering hope... I saw the season 3 premier and said "screw it".

But... I do get nostalgic... *sigh* I remember the good old days of the SlipstreamBBS... Zack and Ash, my old Tyrant pride, the top ten list contests, the Fellowship of the Spork with the Sporklancers and our mounts of cheese and the war of the armadillos and snow Koalas, Maryavatar, Lil, Rov, FMD, Entranced and Bossy... It's probably a good thing it closed, it was getting pretty bad... but god do I miss that place back when it was good.

Did Zack or Ash mentioned what really went on behind the scenes after RHW left?

Poor guys, Twilight Zone just got cancelled so I guess they're out of the job again.

I wish I'd seen this post earlier(X's)

Oh well, think of buffy season 1. Did it have a huge storyline? No, it had about 3-5 episodes(I forget) of a real storyline with the rest being random episodes. Andromeda was no different.

Oh well, its screwed now, so it really doesn't matter.

When I think of a really GOOD episode Andromeda... I always head for It Makes A Lovely Light... damn, why couldn't they have kept makin' 'em like that?
