Great show .......2007-03-13
Sci-Fi at its best!.......2006-02-28
I agree with 'A Customer from Austraila'.......2005-08-08
It's always expected that the series will come out in box sets after the individual disks are released, so why be so impatient to get them all individually like that.
Andromeda is really good, and especially this season because we glimps a little more into the mysterious Trance Gemini.
Good Light Hearted Sci Fi in the Robert Hewitt Wolfe era.......2005-05-27

Andromeda: Season 2, Collection 4.......2003-11-08
I have tried to explain this "problem" to Amazon's customer service group before, but failed to get the point across.
The Andromeda series is being offered up in two separate DVD "formats", if you will... One being in "volumes" which contain two episodes on a single DVD and the other being "collections" containing four or five episodes on two DVD's.
Amazon has mis-matched these and the listing for "collection" number four shows the cover art for "volume" four - this is why the episodes don't match.
Since I could not get Amazon Customer Service to acknowledge the problem and tell me which was the collection and which was the volume, I just bought the title at my local Best Buy.
It turned out the collections were cheaper at BB and with no shipping charges.

Customer Reviews:
Too pricey for 4 eps.......2004-06-20
4 great episodes and a fair amount of extras.......2003-06-21
All four of these episodes are great by themsleves, however "All to Human" and "Una Salus Victus" are my favorites on the set. In the first Rommie is kicking some serious tail and taking the names, shows a lot of emotion also. Some history of after the fall is even shown to name a few things. I like "Una" because it shows a clear shift in the story line, Tyr reveals a huge secret that puts a rift between him and Dylan. This show also reveals Tyr to be much more than a mere mercenie from the first season. Like I said, all four are great, mainly because each character grows some and reveals they are capable of much more than what has been shown so far.
As with the other sets, picture is very good, menus are easy to navigate, extras a decent and the packaging is simple but elegant. I wish that other Box sets would take a clue from these, very few sci fi tv shows get attentionto detail that these box sets got. I have both Babylon 5 box sets and the picture for Andromeda is better, so the bigger name does not always mean better. I give credit to the writers of the show for making the first 9 episodes of season 2 very good, Andromeda fans should like this. New people to the show will be confused, but like it.
Great episodes with nice extras.......2003-06-14

Based on an idea by Gene Roddenberry, Andromeda wears its debt to Star Trek on its sleeve, recalling the best sci-fi of Roddenberry's heyday. Kevin Sorbo (ex-Hercules) plays Captain Dylan Hunt, the sympathetically flawed idealist in command of the Andromeda Ascendant, a massive 1.4-kilometer-long starship of the now-disbanded Systems Commonwealth. The fall of civilization has meant that although it ought to be a relic it remains the zenith of technological advancement. Episodes 6 to 10 make up this collection."Angel Dark, Demon Bright": Time travel is always a sci-fi series staple, but Andromeda needs it more than any of them. Any method (excuse!) to revisit Dylan's own time is explored, and "Angel Dark, Demon Bright" is therefore an important episode for two reasons. We see just how badly the Commonwealth had it coming in an enormous space battle; and we also perceive how potentially dangerous Trance is. Pruning the branches of time as easily as her plants, she's clearly a conundrum waiting to explode.
"The Ties That Blind": The title is a dual reference to aspects of faith. On the one hand there's Rev's devout following of the Way, which unwittingly obscures certain truths from him; on the other hand there's the belief that blood is thicker than water, which severely confuses the relationship Beka has with her long-lost con-artist brother Rafe (Cameron Daddo). There's a lot of art imitating life in this episode, with the Restorian's tactics clearly mirroring contemporary religious conflicts.
"The Banks of the Lethe": Proving that all's fair in love and war, this episode demonstrates the familial possibilities of syndicated TV. Firstly, Sorbo's real-life wife plays Dylan's fiancée, Sara. Secondly, the story was originally touted to Star Trek: Voyager. It's another time-travel quickie (told you they were important), in which a touching reunion for the Sorbos is made possible thanks to a botched experiment in Harper's lab. This installment is also distinguished for featuring some of the most surreal humor in dealing with time travel since Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.
"A Rose in the Ashes": Sometimes diplomacy just doesn't work. On the planet Arazia, Dylan implores the government to join his Commonwealth. Deemed traitors for suggesting it, he and Rommie's "living doll" incarnation are sent to a harsh prison planet. This was the first show to utilize exterior locations, which makes for a welcome change. The same is also true about seeing Lexa Doig in a leather-studded bikini top and disco pants.
"All Neptune's Great Oceans": Macbeth is paraphrased in the title of this spotlight episode for Tyr. The endlessly surly muscle man is accused of assassinating a visiting president. The crew sleuth out clues and red herrings, making this a watered-down whodunit in the now well-established sci-fi tradition. --Paul Tonks

Also a must buy.......2002-12-09
A Great DVD!.......2002-10-24
An excellent DVD.......2002-10-12
The commentary could be better, with (I believe) Alan Eastman boring us with show facts that are blatantly obvious to anyone who's watched - But Kevin Sorbo pipes up when he's allowed to, and actually has some good stories to tell. His antics in the gag reel are by themselves enough reason to buy this DVD :-P
Great Series.......2002-10-03

The second season of Andromeda unveils a change in approach. A new traditionally heroic title theme, accompanied by rousing voice-over, is one noticeable difference. Another is Kevin Sorbo's even shorter haircut! But it's back to the gore and violence that marked the cliffhanging finale of the first year with "The Widening Gyre," in which many perils are resolved while others are revealed. An all-too-short deadline is also imposed on Dylan's Commonwealth dream (confirming the show's additional two-season renewal), when it's confirmed how long it will be before the traveling Magog arrive. "Exit Strategies" is all about inner demons. Poor Harper is left with a very real internal problem that leads him to contemplate the unthinkable. Rommie is wrestling with an alternate physical self. Rev is battling his religious conscience against his very survival. With so much B-plot, you could almost overlook the main story that sees the Maru crash land on an ice world--if the dazzling FX would let you, that is.Beka gets an overdue share of romantic attention in "A Heart for Falsehood Framed." A sacred gem is the nub of a diplomatic dispute. In typically unpredictable fashion, the plot contrives to see all interested parties caught up in a multi-layered game of switching fakes. Some new angles appear in "Pitiless as the Sun". In case anyone's forgotten, Trance is given opportunity to thicken the mystery surrounding exactly what she is. This occurs as we meet a brand-new adversary, the unsavory Pyrians. Xenophobia, drug addiction, and slavery are all scrutinized in this episode--enough plot for an X-File. Which is funny since Cigarette-Smoking Man William B. Davis guest stars. Hunting for a once-glorious leader who would benefit Dylan's cause, the Maru and crew make a "Last Call at the Broken Hammer," a run-down bar in the middle of a wasteland. There are lots of twists in a mystery of hidden identities and agendas amongst the bar's patrons. Watch out for Gordon Woolvett's real-life wife among them. Another welcome sight in this episode is a change of wardrobe for the regulars, who have been sweating it out in the same gear for far too long. --Paul Tonks
Description
"Pitiless As The Sun" (Episode 204) The Inari want to know who is destroying their cargo ships, and Captain Dylan Hunt offers to help. As an act of goodwill, he allows Trance to go on a diplomatic mission to an Inari planet. But all is not as it seems. Andromeda and her crew are being used, and Trance's mission is a trap."Last Call at the Broken Hammer" (Episode 205) Isabella Ortiz was a great leader before the Kalderans destroyed her government and drove her into hiding. She would make a powerful addition to the Commonwealth... if Dylan can find her. The search leads to the Broken Hammer, a tough bar where the shots come from guns, not bottles.

Customer Reviews:
A great show.......2003-09-24
"Ouroboros" is probably the best episode on these DVD's. The main reason is the new Trance. I liked the old Trance, but the future Trance is so much better. I was kind of getting tired of the purple look.
Another Great Andromeda set.......2003-08-19
All solid episodes.......2003-07-25
Clarification.......2003-07-20
As for an actual review, if you like Andromeda, and are collecting Andromeda DVDs, this is a must-have. A lot of plotlines pivotal to Season 2 are continued or even completed in this set. I highly recommend it to fans of Andromeda, particularly fans of the first two seasons, where the plot lines were carried over from episode to episode. This is the middle of Season 2, when the show was still getting better and better. For the record, Andromeda has made me a HUGE fan of Keith Hamilton Cobb, who plays Tyr, and I intend to follow his future endeavors closely. What a talent!
Still The Best!!!!.......2003-07-19

growing on me like a tumor.......2004-04-18
"Tunnel At The End Of The Light" is a slight rip-off of Predator, but hardly a bad one. And by the end, it's taken in a very original direction. If you can get over Sorbo and be entertained by a decent "space-show", Andromeda may be for you. Harper gives excellent comic relief and Rommie is just friggin sexy. The stories are not bad once you give them a chance, and for the most part, original. Graphics are fantastic, even if they are re-used and altered from time to time.
