In the first of these five episodes, we see Captain Hunt in battle against 10,000 enemy ships, winning a bout of fisticuffs with a close friend turned enemy traitor, wrestling with the shock of being frozen in time for 300 years, and then diplomatically negotiating his way out of a salvage rights battle for his ship. The Andromeda Ascendant's emotionally driven, lifelike computer is desired by the Eureka Maru salvage vessel, and feisty Captain Beka Valentine can barely stop her engineer Harper from drooling about tinkering with her. The Maru's shipmates are similarly driven: Rev Bem (from another sworn enemy race) has a spiritual calling, while cutesy-pie Trance Gemini's motivations are part of her winning mysteriousness. One final addition is the show's muscle, Tyr, the enemy with a conscience, but Andromeda is Dylan's show all the way. --Paul Tonks

Customer Reviews of Andromeda Season 1 Collection 1 (Episode 101-105)
Surprisingly good Since the main character is from "Hercules", I had my doubts. I picked it up anyway, because Gene Roddenberry's name is on it. I am glad I did.
The show does have some weakness- 1. Special effects are always interesting, but look fake sometimes 2. The premise seems to be a little bit shaky: why would those crew decided to join the idealist Captain? They are obviously not the noble type.
Despite those two flaws, it's still worth watching. The concept is original (in the sense that the variation of classical theme done well), the story is good (I think "double helix", the last episode of Vol 1. is the best so far), acting is adequate. In sum, the series has a promising start. It's certainly not Farscape or Star Trek, but you'll enjoy Andromeda if you like this type of sci-fi shows.
As for DVD itself:
Good-
Many special features (alternative takes were interesting).
Good picture quality
Bad-
No subtitles...
Great DVD set for a good show.
When Andromeda started I was really sceptical.
I didn't like Kevin Sorbo much, the SFX weren't that great and some of scripts were pretty weak.
But I kept watching and during the first season I started to like the show for one big reason: likable characters.
While I'm still not a big fan of Mr. Sorbo, the other other actors are really great and the writing has (apart from a few episodes at the end of season two) improved.
And of course there's Lexa Doig to look at - which is a really big plus. :-)
While it's still far away from the consistent genius that Farscape shows each week, Andromeda is one of the better TV shows at the moment and this DVD set is really great: picture and sound are good, the commentary is very interesting and the other extras are great too - except for the bloopers. I hope that on the next sets we get some bloopers that feature some of the other actors and not only Kevin Sorbo.
A great beginning
The two hour premiere is one of the best episodes of the Andromeda series. It takes off quick, and even allows for some characterization, which many series seem to miss. Though, as soon as the premiere ends, the series seems as if it is going to be a failure. The third episode, "To Looses the Faithful Lightning," is a ridiculous episode to be put at the beginning of the series. But do know, that episode three isn't at all like the rest of the episodes. Four and five are descent episodes, and they both help illuminate the character of Tyr, the Nietzschean of the crew. If your unsure of the series, be sure to start here, at the beginning.
