[QUOTE]Originally posted by Bernd: [QB] [QUOTE]crazy characters Oh, God, they have personality. What were the writers thinking?[/QUOTE] I wouldn't call that personality but blatant differences and conflict potential instead of fine tuning. [QUOTE]with stupid names What's so stupid about Seamus Harper? Or Brother Behemial Far-Traveler?[/QUOTE] Thanks for the examples. I'd like to add "Freya", "Guderian", "Moebius" and, of course, the "Nietzscheans". It seems while Star Trek has no German references at all, Andromenda awkwardly picks as many as possible of them from (cultural) history. [QUOTE]insufficiently considered stories Now that's just bunk. These stories are planned out seasons in advance. I mean, there are like, two moderate plot holes in the entire show so far, and they're contained within the episodes, with no arcing consequences. Heck, they once had to have a VERY pregnant woman rewrite an entire script in three days to center on an entirely different character, and it STILL worked.[/QUOTE] It may be that there is a consistency I didn't notice yet. I admit it may be the translation (I only know German episodes) but the dialogues are awkward. Plus, the single shows are just the kind of "popcorn TV" I anticipated for Enterprise and which fortunately didn't come true. Loud and colorful, shooting and running. [QUOTE]almost no technical or scientific background Read a physics book. That and a primer on slipstream is all you need to understand the physics of Andromeda, 'cause it's ALL REAL. No FTL sensors, for example. The only concession is a limited form of FTL travel.[/QUOTE] What I meant is that it's not worth caring about the fictional technology because it's only generic scifi tech. Nothing that would catch my interest. [QUOTE]incredibly cheap sets and special effects Actually, the sets are quite good, and just got better when they blew up and redesigned Command. The special effects you might have had a legitimate complaint about for about six episodes last year.[/QUOTE] I only know several episodes of the first season, and it looks like it was done by complete amateurs.
