I liked that one because Lexa Doig.

Lisa Ryder wasn't bad either:

Boobies win.

That show was one of those almost-good-but-not-quite ones that were typical in late 90's cable/syndication SF.

Better than Earth: Final Conflict for sure.

late 90's

2000-2005

Was it that recent?

I'd have sworn the Systems Commonwealth was overthrown 100s of years ago.

I never watched Andromeda but kuci tells me it was good for like a season.

[regexcellent]

Andromeda was pretty cool I was like 12 or something when it ran I think, I remember someone piloting a ship in this big white skybox or some **** dodging pillar-like things. And they had a chess set identical to the one I received for christmas from my grandfather as a prop. And the episode with said chess set had some hot seductress I think.

Yeah so basically I saw maybe two episodes of Andromeda 10 years ago and don't remember any details at all so I don't know if it's good or not.

edit: I think the episode with the dodging the black pillary things in slipspace involved time travel

I find Asian women speaking with Australian accents to be strangely intriguing.

IMB says she's a Canadian born actress who faked an Australian accent.

That said... Tits!

discount Katee Sackhoff

That's true.

So where does this Farscape series rank? Between 'Don't bother' and Red Dwarf?

The old Farscape thread linked below contains this gem:

Farscape is the combination of the worst parts of Lexx and Star Trek.

which makes me mildly curious.



Re: Andromeda (Thanks Ming) my Problem with was purely 'look its Hercules on a Spaceship - when is he gonna punch somebody?' so I rather watched Space 2063 reruns instead.

At least Hercules spawned the strongly lesbian subtexted Xena..

[Sava]

I watched the last half of the Farscape series... and for the life of me, I can't remember anything about the plot... other than Crighton(?) being an astronaut.

I have a very fond impression of the show.

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

Anyone who ever pines for beloved cult shows to come back should remember the abject lesson of FAMILY GUY.

[Sava]

The lesson of Family Guy?

What's that?

Don't try to be funnier than South Park because you're not?

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

It wasn't the same when they brought it back.

Not that the world had ever cried out for something like the Simpsons, only obnoxious and not as clever by one third, in the first place, but the revival has been even worse.
