Dead already?

[Seyfert H. Macgillicuddy]

Andromeda over less than a month and already the posts are tapering way
off. I guess it indeed was forgettable dross not much worthy of a second
look.

The first year-and-a-half were truly remarkable, worth a second look and
more. Only the rest was truly sad.

Yes, the failure of the promise of Andromeda was disappointing, esp. the
fourth-fifth seasons.
It lost cohesion and direction and wasted all the great dynamics it had
built up from its promising back story. In the end it seems they were
just going from ep to ep with no linkage or continuity from week to
week. By the third season it was just body counts in fancy costumes:
magog, kalderans and whatever. Even that had deteriorated to the low
budget blue skin perseid wannabee morlocks in the seefra underground.
Even when they defeated the Abyss no Magog or worldship, just stock
footage of Nietzcheans doing mercenary work for the abyss. No
explanation of Tyrs fate or his son or any of a thousand other
intriguing plotlines left dangling.
Truly very much of a let down.

I like changing nicknames frequently. I watch some racing, but don't
immediately recall the numbers.

Most people who cared enough about andromeda to post about it here lost
interest years ago. Now that it's over those of us who stuck with it the
whole way are fading away. It gets old talking about how Engels and Tribune
messed up the show.

True, but i was hoping maybe to tap into the nostalgia wave that seems
so prevalent n society today. You know, the contrived calculating ploy
of marketing strategists to milk bygone ads and vapid pop culture for
profit and just general memory desecrating? The way they don't let a
seemly amount of time go by before they pull that crap just made me
think an Andromeda nostalgia blitz was in order.

Wait 10 years, and then some super-creative producer will "reimagine"
Andromeda in a Sci-Fi mini series.

Dylan will become Diane, the ultra-conservative Muslim woman, Tyr will
be recast as a young man from New Jersey who just can't seem to get
anything to go his way, Becca will remain the same physically, but
she'll be a ditzy blonde this time around. Harper will be the engineer
who flubbed out of tech school and can't make anything he builds work
the way he actually intends it to. Trance will be blue this time
around. Then will spontaneously be replaced with a red version of
herself with bigger breasts in Part II of the mini series.

Do you think they will wait a whole ten years before pulling this stunt?
That new version sounds more like a version of "Firefly", than
Andromeda.

I don't suppose you could add a leading blank line or two to your

Wha-huh?

Okay, I see nothing "Fireflyesque" about Ryan P's. . . story dystopia.

I have however toyed with my own ideas for an Andromeda remake:

(originally posted: 03/05/2004)
20-30 years from now, someone will launch a remake, possibly re-envisioning
Dylan as an angsty, worn-out leader on the brink of retirement, only being
held together by Rommie's constant efforts, and misinterpreting her
forbidden love as a ship's expected loyalty to its captain. The magog would
be expensive CGI, looking kinda like the orcs from LotR. Tyr would be
regressed to younger than Harper's age; a malourished, beaten slave child,
with a will of iron, and the blood of gods and emperors thundering in his
veins. Trance would be a child-like goddess (a cheery counterpart to the
brooding boy-Tyr), with Rev a renegade magog as her towering, monstrous
apprentice/accolyte. Beka could be a strung-out Flash addict, who joins
Dylan's mad crusade on a lark and ends up finding something worth living
for. Harper would be a weathered mechanic with flashes of genius, holding
Beka together for "one last job" just as Rommie is helping Dylan. . .

I don't think many people feel that nostaligic for Andromeda these days.
The way the show ended up made too many people bitter over the whole thing.
I think most people want to forget all about it.

I, for one, intend to rewatch Season One and dream - maybe Season Two.

Yeah, the last four seasons were so incredibly bad I just had to watch them to see
if I was really wrong about them being all that bad. They were bad... But let me
watch them again, justto make sure they really were that bad...
