Product Description
From Amazon.com
The second season of Andromeda unveils a change in approach. A new traditionally heroic title theme, accompanied by rousing voice-over, is one noticeable difference. Another is Kevin Sorbo's even shorter haircut! But it's back to the gore and violence that marked the cliffhanging finale of the first year with "The Widening Gyre," in which many perils are resolved while others are revealed. An all-too-short deadline is also imposed on Dylan's Commonwealth dream (confirming the show's additional two-season renewal), when it's confirmed how long it will be before the traveling Magog arrive. "Exit Strategies" is all about inner demons. Poor Harper is left with a very real internal problem that leads him to contemplate the unthinkable. Rommie is wrestling with an alternate physical self. Rev is battling his religious conscience against his very survival. With so much B-plot, you could almost overlook the main story that sees the Maru crash land on an ice world--if the dazzling FX would let you, that is.
Beka gets an overdue share of romantic attention in "A Heart for Falsehood Framed." A sacred gem is the nub of a diplomatic dispute. In typically unpredictable fashion, the plot contrives to see all interested parties caught up in a multi-layered game of switching fakes. Some new angles appear in "Pitiless as the Sun". In case anyone's forgotten, Trance is given opportunity to thicken the mystery surrounding exactly what she is. This occurs as we meet a brand-new adversary, the unsavory Pyrians. Xenophobia, drug addiction, and slavery are all scrutinized in this episode--enough plot for an X-File. Which is funny since Cigarette-Smoking Man William B. Davis guest stars. Hunting for a once-glorious leader who would benefit Dylan's cause, the Maru and crew make a "Last Call at the Broken Hammer," a run-down bar in the middle of a wasteland. There are lots of twists in a mystery of hidden identities and agendas amongst the bar's patrons. Watch out for Gordon Woolvett's real-life wife among them. Another welcome sight in this episode is a change of wardrobe for the regulars, who have been sweating it out in the same gear for far too long. --Paul Tonks
Video Details
"Pitiless As The Sun" (Episode 204) The Inari want to know who is destroying their cargo ships, and Captain Dylan Hunt offers to help. As an act of goodwill, he allows Trance to go on a diplomatic mission to an Inari planet. But all is not as it seems. Andromeda and her crew are being used, and Trance's mission is a trap.
"Last Call at the Broken Hammer" (Episode 205) Isabella Ortiz was a great leader before the Kalderans destroyed her government and drove her into hiding. She would make a powerful addition to the Commonwealth... if Dylan can find her. The search leads to the Broken Hammer, a tough bar where the shots come from guns, not bottles.

OVERCHARGE - Shame on you guys!!!!,
By Kathy Seaberry (Burbank, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda: V2.1 Season 2 Collection 1 (DVD)
I would have purchased the entire series except that someone is overcharging. $60+ plus for Season 1 was too high, but I was willing to pay.WILL NOT buy any more of this series. Fun series, but someone's ripping off the buyers. I'll find something else to buy.

Beware of Packaging is an understatement,
By Postal Avenger (Sweetwater, TN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda: V2.1 Season 2 Collection 1 (DVD)
I certainly agree with Elk Grove Village. I'm still trying to figure out what to order. As a fan, couldn't they just sell the entire season like they do with the Star Trek series? I got a whole season of Star Trek (26 episodes) for $100 and only 22 episodes of Andromeda for about $180 and I didn't buy any duplicates. Let's just make it simple, Okay? And maybe drop the price some, Huh?

This review is from: Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda: V2.1 Season 2 Collection 1 (DVD)
I have seen all these episodes and they are great. My fav is "The Widening Gyre", because it shows a much darker side to the show and to Rev Bem (aka Redplague). I also like "Pitiless as the Sun" because it shows that Trance and her species are much more dangerous than they seem. I also like this episode because it was broadcast on my birthday. The two regrets I have are as follows: "The March of the High Guard" theme composed by Alex Lifeson is no longer in use for the show and also that so many of the cool extras are gone (Examples: the timeline of the commonwealth and all systems university 101). All in all though, this is a great show and I'm a huge sci-fi fan so I'll will definetly buy this DVD, and if you like sci-fi you should too. You won't regret it.
