Still a great show!

I may be a little biased, but, I love this show. Have since it came out and still watch it, now that I have the whole set in one box. I haven't watched the whole box set, but had started Season 5, and the quality is great and I love the fact that it is widescreen. The only thing I miss is the inserts from the other sets, which gave the plot line and the index title. Other than that I really have no complaints about the set. I did wait for it to go down in price before I bought it, though. Its all in one case, so no more looking for each separate season... August 16, 2008

The Andromeda Compendium in DVD

I recently purchased the Andromeda Slipstream Collection and wasn't expecting what I was expecting. I'm not a big fan of the series but wanted to see what Andromeda was all about as cable was showing this on and off.

The box set as reviewed by most purchasers here come in 25 "Thinkpaks" (aka Slimpacks) containing 2 discs each. All 110 episodes are in the set. The box is sturdy enough to take some slight impact but don't expect it to withstand high drops with all the dvd thinpaks inside.

However, this is not just what it has. It has everything about the Andromeda Universe from audio commentaries, Encylopedia (From A-Z), cast interviews, production designs, trailers (TV Spots), alternate takes, deleted scenes, bloopers ("Have you seen my forcelance?") and even a history of the Andromeda Universe. The whole enchilda with a glass of cold juice or soda.

Seriously, this is one very impressive package and definitely worth the price. This collection just brought me to the dark side of being an Andromeda fan.... Noooooooo! August 10, 2008

For the die hard Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda fan..

..what are you doing? Buy it already. Totally worth every penny. It's much smaller than it appears due to it's double-sided slim dvd packaging. No more double-sided dvd discs, all are one sided (much better).

The only flaw is that it does not have a description of what each episode is about..still giving this price 5*'s.

Every episode plus bonus features..my favorites are the bloopers! July 22, 2008

True Sci-Fi

Better than I expected. The wide screen format is fantastic. If you saw it on when it was on TV you are in for a treat, it is much better. June 10, 2008

An excellent end to Gene Roddenberry's saga

Andromeda was developed using the notes of Gene Roddenberry, found by his wife Majel Roddenberry. The resulting show could not have been a more perfect blend of sci-fi and action, in my opinion.

The show starts off showcasing brilliant special effects, and incredibly deep plot. From the first episode, the series grips the viewer and immerses them within a world of intrigue and deception. Our "hero" for this story is Kevin Sorbo (of Hercules), and seems to be a perfect fit.

As the story unfolds and the episodes roll by, the secondary characters come to life with deep development for each and every person. Quickly it feels like there is no "lead" character as much as the entire crew of the Andromeda is the "main" character, and with each of the parts being played so well by so many talented actors this is no surprise.

I believe that almost anybody could enjoy Andromeda, it's probably one of the Sci-Fi genre's best kept secrets. To try and put a label on it is difficult, as the universe within Andromeda is a perfect blend of dark and gritty reality, heroic and impossibly daring deeds, and a strong human compassion and character driven story. Definitely worth viewing if you're a fan of science fiction in general. April 21, 2008
