So bad it made my soul hurt.

After the disaster that was season two they are going to have to work twice as hard to keep my interest. I will give them a few weeks this season since they have a new showrunner but that is IT.
The only reason i finished out the season was IP (Tyr's son) and TKDATD (Renagade AI ships).

As a semi-interesting digress I'd like to comment that if you liked *early* Andromeda than you might want to check out the new Twilight Zone series on UPN since imdb lists Robert Hewitt Wolfe (the original executive producer for that show before Kevin "moron" Sorbo had him fired) as a writer for the series.

I was disappointed with how the second half of s2 started going.
The whole season 2 was getting so bad
, that I decided to stop watching DROM. I'll pick close to the opening of s3 and watch a few weeks - if the new head honcho helps them put some nice stories, then I'll continue. Otherwise, I'm history

Yeah..........Sorbo did manage to screw up the series. A lot of writers are no longer with the show anymore but hopefully things will get better. If not then I'll hang up my ranks and move on to Firefly and Tracker.

Ooo! response from a die-hard Drom fan. Firefly has become my new obsession in the wake of what has happened to Andromeda. First season, i could think of nothing else (like i am with firefly now). I memorized everything. I understood it, related to the stories, love the connections, and the dialogue... I knew far too much about it. Robert Hewitt Wolfe did amazing work. There's depth and morality shown in episodes like Angel Dark, Demon Bright. Humor in episodes like Fear and Loathing in the Milky WAy, and ability to deal with unusual and difficult subjects in It Makes a Lovely light. But.. I'm so disappointed. It doesn't thrill me anymore. I watch out of devotion and hope, but after about homefires/orouborus, I got skeptical. The plots got bad, there was too much action, not enough of the interaction that had made it so much fun. Kevin sorbo was stupid, and i don't like what they did with Trance. And now Tyr's bonespurs!? Grr... I don't know what to think. Drom used to be the highpoint of my television viewing,b ut If the Wheel is Fixed did nothing for me. I'll keeping watching *sigh*

*pats Saint of Cheese (the one who addicted her to Andromeda) in comfort* Yes...
*sigh* I miss season 1... it was so GOOD then! It was original, it was funny, and it wasn't afraid to deal with sensitive subjects (It Makes a Lovely Light has to be pretty much my favorite episode ever). But in season 2 it started to go gradually downhill... as Saint of Cheese said, more action, less involved character development, and Beka's Flash addiction, which should have been at least a small issue, has barely been mentioned. The season 3 premier didn't thrill me either... so we'll wait and see.

*Rhea waves at SaintofCheese and her other Andromeda buddies.*
As of the season 3 opener I've officially given up Andromeda. The episode left me scratching my head and wondering what the hell THAT was about. 
It's too bad, too, because Robert Hewitt Wolfe created an amazing universe.

And here we are, all the disappointed DROM fans Mike Joe wants to chase off the Slipstream. I'm so afraid to love another SF show again. Since DS9, all my faves have either been cancelled prematurely or ruined by meddling producers.

Me too. But I love Firefly and I plan to enjoy it to the hilt for however long it lasts.
We watched AMR again last night and laughed just as hard as the other times. ROTFL! "She was all...naked and articulate."
