 Ooooh!! Thinpaks!!! October 4, 2006

I was pleasantly surprised by this. The product details don't mention it at all, but this IS a "thinpaks" release. The set contains all episodes of seasons 1-5 on 50 discs in 25 dual-disc thinkpaks, packaged in a sturdy, cardboard box. The box is much smaller than the Amazon product photo makes it appear. Placed sideways on your bookshelf it will take up less room than the First Season box set. The artwork on the outer sleeves of each thinpak is the same as previous releases. Artwork on the spines of all thinpaks, when viewed together, portray the Amdromeda Ascendant comin' at ya! The discs in this collection are single-sided, unlike the double-sided discs in the 2-5 season box sets. The content and episodes on the discs are the same as in previous releases. If you already own the previous releases, this may not interest you much. However, if you didn't like the double-sided discs of the season 2-5 sets and would like the space this set will save on your shelves, it IS worth getting.
Rendesvous with Rommie ;-) October 7, 2006

I only saw a few episodes of this "Gene Roddenberry Gem that stayed on his desk long after he died", during its original run, but what I saw intrigued me. So much so I bought the novelized version of the pilot in a used book store. But the discs I thought were coing out too slow (2 discs of 1 season at a time THEN a full season after the final set) and too pricey (even here on Amazon). But when I saw the deal for the Complete Set was much better than the sum of its parts, I couldn't resist it. Unfortunately, dummy me spent a gift certificate I had gotten at the same time on another order, but still this is the BIGGEST MEGASET of a series I have ever bought. Now I am going to take the time and watch all these, season by season, so I can finally understand the plots and counterplots (and counterplotz for that matter ;-)) that I missed earlier this decade. I am especially eager to see the first episode where we see Andromeda's physical body working outside the computer let alone the "transition" in Trance. If you bought the other sets or subsets, just complete your collection whichever way is easiest, if you waited to buy all 5 "complete sets", buy THIS set instead. Now to sit back and (pardon my Arthur Clarke) time for a "Renedesvous With Rommie" ;-)
 Roddenberry's Original Space Opera November 20, 2006

I just ordered this item so I can't give a review to the set. I did notice in most of the reviews I've read no one has mentioned special features and extras. Does anyone know what this set contains besides the basic episodes?
I watched Andromeda when it began and was very intrigued. As I recall, both the idea fro Andromeda and for Earth: Final Conflict, both pre-dated Star Trek. Both series suffered a tragic problem when Roddenberry died. Both series became "lost" in writing and theme. Andromeda recovered in its final season, and like Babylon 5, tied the storyline from beginning to end.
Andromeda's biggest problem was budget. The writers and plots were amazing. The crew was terrific, but after the first season Andromeda started to recycle special effects. I still remember the same line of soldiers used in four different episodes in two seasons. At times it bordered on the stock footage fiasco of the original Battlestar Galactica. Despite this problem, the series has many huge high points. It also featured a wide range of guest stars including Grace Park (BSG), Emmanuelle Vaugier (Smallville, Saw 2), Michael Dorn, Tony Todd, Michael Shanks and numerous others.
Andromeda is the original space opera. It is as optimistic as the Star Trek universe, but stacks the odds against the crew from the very beginning. Watch Andromeda with an open mind.
Good Series that went unoticed August 28, 2006

This is by no means another Star Trek. In many ways it's more fun minus the tech babble you'd get on any Trek show. Kevin Sorbo is playing this shoot from the hip character like Han Solo. Why didn't it become a hit like the others? The writing wasn't always there like Hercules but it was still a good series.
If you like Kevin Sorbo and the cast of characters it's not a complete waste of time. Andromeda is much better than Roddenberry's Earth: Final Conflict series. In this starship the crew does go to other worlds and deals with alien threats in a manner Captain Kirk would be proud of.
The Best Ever Set February 4, 2007

I believe this is by far the best DVD set ever created. This set is well worth every single penny spent. I absolutely loved this collection. To be able to see every episode and so much behind the scenes information was incredible. I really wished that Andromeda stayed on for many more seasons. I believe shows like these bring some light into our dark world at times. If Andromeda was to come out again, they definitely have someone here willing to watch every winking moment.
