I just happened to catch Andromeda after having not watched the show in
about 2 years, and I wonder if anyone can bring me up to speed.

1) When and how did Beka become the "matriach"?

2) Trance is a sun?

3) Where did the other AI come from?

4) Had the show actually been cancelled?

5) Where did Rodde (sp?) come from?

I am thinking about maybe getting the series on DVD, but I want to know
if it is worth my effort now. It seems the show really took a turn for
the worst after I stopped watching.

This episode reveals what happened.

I don't know if she is a sun, but it's a basic explination as far as I
know.

3) Where did the other AI come from?
I am told Lexa was pregnant during series 5 so she is mostly (?) seen
as Andromeda and not Romi.

Doyle is made up of Romi when she blew up at the end of season 4.

Like most Sci-Fi these days they only make enough to go to syndication
(100 episodes). As far as I know (which isn't much) they aren't making
any more.

I think it's worth watching the whole series (which I haven't yet), as
I have been told it wraps the story up fairly well. If you enjoyed any
of it I'd say get the rest.

Lexa WAS pregnant and due to the fact that the 5th season didn't
become official untill 1 week after the "final deadline" she didn't
think she was coming back. They couldn't have a pregnant android so
they had to keep her out.

Yellow story writers.

A pregnant android storyline could be fun to try and figure out.

Off the top of my head I have :

1. Cavity in body for surrogate Trance baby or even Dylan clone
2. Bio-mechanical propogation of Rommy to supplant the short
irish fellow in a fit of pique
3. Aliens "doin summat strange" to her
4. Rommy wants to know what it feels like to be female/human so walks
around bloated
5. Tyer Anasasi finally reaches the ultimate conclusion about the
superior way to propogate

ad infinitum...

The possibilities are endless and fun.
A pity they see a wall as a blockage instead of an opportunity to
walk sideways.

LOL, I like those ideas, as well as your punch line :-)

This is true but there is always the option that she didn't want to
appear on screen pregnant - not everyone is Demi Moore!

Eminently reasonable if thats the case.
There could also have been medical reasons of course.
I'm just sulking 'cause rommy is so cute and I miss her...

1) When and how did Beka become the "matriach"?
She got the hots for a guy (again) who turned out to be
Drago Mussevini (sp?) the creator and father of the Nietzs. Calling himself
"Peter" he got some of Bekka's DNA and
took it back in time and did some voodoo science on it so
that years later, Bekka is indeed the Matriarch-- not that
any other Nietzschean gives a crap except for maybe Rhadde..

2) Trance is a sun?
Well... she's the avatar of Tarn Verdra's sun.
Post by Rebel
3) Where did the other AI come from?
Harper landed on Seefra first and while he was getting lonely and not ever
expecting to see Dylan & friends again, he took Rommie's AI core and built Doyle
around it. He couldn't put Rommie back together for some reason, because she kept
trying to kill him.

4) Had the show actually been cancelled?
Yes. Oui. Si. Da. Ja.

5) Where did Rodde (sp?) come from?
I am thinking about maybe getting the series on DVD, but I want to know
if it is worth my effort now. It seems the show really took a turn for
the worst after I stopped watching.
It took a different direction. It would be a big waste of your money to buy it all
but the last season where everything gets wrapped up-- maybe not the way you
thought it would be-- but it does all get wrapped up.

You might be interested in reading Robert Hewiit Wolfe's coda, an epilogue of
how _Andromeda_ would have played out if RHW had been allowed to fulfill his
vision for the series. It rocks.
