That really ain't saying much...
Seriously, I agree with Cybersnark about Season 1. It is worth taking a look at.
But when that show went down....it went DOWN!

There were flames and everything?
From what I caught on TV, Andromedas male version of Kaylee or Percy, had Magoog eggs in him. It seemed like it had a good premise.
From what you guys say though, like Starhunter, it failed to deliver on said premise. Oh well.
Call me strange but I watch these, less than stellar, shows with good premises with the mind set of how good it could have been had it been done properly. It helps wash down the bad acting and such.
Speaking of series that failed to deliver, I just picked up Galactica 1980. I figured, after watching Starhunter and being an old school Galactica fan, how bad could it be?

Oooo, I found a pretty good review of the second season of Andromeda...

He's pretty hard on it, but it basically explains why I never watched it much past the second season...
*sigh* oh well Chrisisall

Haven't seen starhunter, though there was a movie long ago by that name, as I recall, with a rather young molly ringwald among others.
Pare did a tv series back when called "houston knights". Not sci fi, mind you, but it was a good role, allowed him to show some skill, and he did.
As for andromeda, any show with Lexa Doig in it is worth watching :) No matter how boring, or even stupid. She's just, well, hot 
I'll keep an eye out for it though. Sounds interesting. be good for the long cold nights after footballs over.

I dunno, Chris, I have Buck Rogers in the 25th Century and it is horribly cheesy, worse than BSG TOS. Man, and I LOVED that show when I was a kid... *sigh*
Just used up some Christmas money at Costco and such and completed my Babylon 5 DVD collection ($20 per season was too good to pass up). Never seen an episode so I hope it lives up to it's hype.
I'm still whimbling on whether to fork out my remaining dough on Andromeda, based on your, Cybersnark and Moose's recomendations, or the Star Trek movie box set.
I'm currently working my way through Starhunter 2300 and y'know... it's not so horrible. Ya I like Micheal Pare, but was it just me or did he spend the whole show either crying or shouting? I know he's capable of more than 2 emotions...
Badkarmaoo, if you are a true hardcore space sci-fi nut, definitely worth a look but remember, I never said it was good Prep yourself by watching something bad before hand, like Andromeda season 3-5 apparently..

Quote:Yeah, I got maybe a third through the episodes, and I bailed. Sold it to help finance my purchase of the Trek Captain's Log collection...the writing just started to irk me on Starhunter...kinda interesting but kinda lazy too.

Precisely why I bought them.

Let me know if it's worth it. I've had that in my hand more than once. Not being a huge Trek fan, I'm looking to get pretty much an abreviation.
I just can't justify the hugely ignorant price of $90-$150 per season for a show whose writing pales in comparison to Firefly which was $29.99 for a season.

Quote:It's great so far (the on-camera commentary before the eps is cool) - I also have the Time Travel & Borg collections...so many of the seasons have lots of clunkers- this way you can just go to the best ones!
