I wish people would stop complaining, July 4 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda: Season 2 (DVD)
I like Season One a great deal, and I'm now waiting on the Season Two release to be delivered. I just wish people would stop complaining about the fact that ADV released the boxed sets at a lower price than the individual discs. Buying in bulk, things are always going to be cheaper, that's just the way things are. I always wait before buying any series, including this one, because boxed sets will come eventually, and as time goes on, prices will inevitably fall on just about anything. I don't want to be rude, but I think anyone who didn't have the foresight and patience to wait for prices to fall, and boxed sets to come out, and rushed in to buying individually packed discs at inital retail prices, deserved to get ripped off. Bring on the boxed sets for Seasons 3 & 4!!

The future is made of fromage..., Nov 8 2005
This review is from: Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda: Season 2 (DVD)
In the past, many have believed - or wished - that the moon was made of cheese. According to Andromeda's vision of the future, the entire universe is cheesy. Bad writing, ham-fisted acting (honestly, I'm not trying to dwell on food metaphors), dreadful dialogue, tacky costumes & makeup, and overly colourful CGI effects make this series one of the worst examples of the "crew of misfits" cliche to appear on television. I'm not saying that this classic sci-fi scenario can't still be done well. Just rent (no, buy!) Firefly to see a fresh take on the genre with great writing and acting to match. Andromeda has plenty of action and cleavage to satisfy your average teenage male, but anyone older (you know who you are...isn't it time you moved out of your mom's basement?) should be embarrassed to be watching this blight on Gene Roddenberry's memory. Why shows like Andromeda (and "According to Jim") continue to survive, when much better fare is yanked unceremoniously from the airwaves, will remain one of life's sad mysteries.

I agree with 'A Customer from Austraila', Aug 8 2005
This review is from: Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda: Season 2 (DVD)
Andromeda is an incredable series, and a great replacement for the 'Star Trek' series now that they're off the air. It's always expected that the series will come out in box sets after the individual disks are released, so why be so impatient to get them all individually like that. Andromeda is really good, and especially this season because we glimps a little more into the mysterious Trance Gemini.
