Syfy's "Andromeda" Discussion (2000-2005)

[L-Rouge]

Andromeda had the aesthetic, but Galaxy Quest did Andromeda better than Andromeda. Yea I remember I couldn't stomach too much of this. I may need to look back on it someday. I'm going through a good Blake's 7 (1978-82)blitz at the moment, quite enjoyable though I was keenly interested in this since the 80's.

Id love to collect Doctor Who as well.

And as posthumous Roddenberry estate-cleanup series made out of old dug-up proposal memos go to cash in on the name go, "Earth: Final Conflict" was better.
(Think the Vulcan/Human conspiracies from the first Enterprise season, taken a step farther...)

I mean, you'd think, during that whole 90's syndicated gold rush, SOMEONE would've tried to update "Assignment: Earth", but maybe Paramount still had a lock on it.

Start with the Tom Bakers, slip in a few Patrick Troughtons for chaser, and let everything flow from there.

Ahh that EFC did have some very good moments to it, I never got to see how it ended, I can only remember Zo'or with a more human appearance, some splice of other alien I guess.

Re-Doctor Who That really is the only era I am interested, up to Peter Davidson. I have the 5 Doctors tribute episode from 1983 on DVD. They are amazingly expensive DVD's here in NZ still.

I had a couple friends that really liked it, but I never thought the show was that great and that it got worse in later seasons.

it's been ages since I saw it, but I enjoyed the show. It is no ST but it is better than Babylon 5 and V

Now I'm kinda pumped. I never expected it to surpass ST anyway.

Its a great sci fi series that does not take itself seriously (much like Stargate). Its fun plain and simple and does have some great episodes
