First five episodes from the fifth series of the television sci-fi adventure programme, created by Gene Rodenberry. Dylan Hunt (Kevin Sorbo), frozen in time for three hundred years, must use the Andromeda spacecraft and a crew of mercenaries to restore the galactic Commonwealth. In 'The Weight (Part 1)', Dylan awakens on a strange planet. In 'The Weight (Part 2)', when Dylan receives a distress signal, he finds the Andromeda abandoned in space. In 'Phear Phactor Phenom', Dylan jumps at the chance to find a stolen painting so he can use the reward money to repair the Andromeda. In 'Decay of the Angel', a slipstream event is recorded in the Seefra system, and a strange man arrives claiming to be from the future. Finally, in 'The Eschatology of Our Present', Beka (Lisa Ryder) learns that she has existed in several different places before.

Who is Andromeda?

By a customer from England , 02 Apr 2006

[Highly rated reviewer]

Oh dear, what a letdown... this started off as a promising series and promptly failed to deliver. Starts off with a 2-parter but only because they couldn't wind up the purposely obtuse (i.e. weird for the sake of it) opening part of the storyline in the first 43 minutes - it takes 65 minuntes instead... The third episode is a bit contrived but at least back to the standard of series 3 and 4 - which isn't saying all that much...

Lost the Plot.

By Mattwho (30 reviews) from Cheltenham , 16 Mar 2011

This is the final series of Andromeda and one can understand why.

The problem here is that the two basic premises of the show had been lost (Dylan's quest i.e. Commonwealth vs Magog and also the Dylan/Tier relationship, both gone)

Seen in its own the last series is actually good, but nowhere near the climatic epic the fans had waited four years to see.
