The Commonwealth spanned three galaxies and a myriad of cultures. Dylan Hunt, captain of the starship Andromeda, was frozen in time and awoke three centuries later to find the Commonwealth had fallen. To fight back the chaos among the stars, Hunt must use the Andromeda to restore the Commonwealth and bring unity to the galaxy once again. He recruits a mercenary, Tyr Anasazi, and the crew of the Eureka Maru: Captain Beka Valentine, Engineer Seamus Harper, Physicist Rev Bem, and Medical Officer Trance Gemini.

After discovering the Spirit of the Abyss and its powerful weapon, the Magog Worldship, the need for the Commonwealth is greater than ever. 50 member worlds are finally recruited, and the reconstruction of the Commonwealth is finally truly underway. More and more worlds sign on, contributing their fleets to protect each other.

In the third season, Dylan and the crew travel from world to world as instructed by the Triumvirate, the leaders of the Commonwealth. But everything is building to the moment from one of his crew will betray him.

The fourth year deals with the corruption of the Commonwealth after the recent betrayal. Things become more intense as the Andromeda is expelled from the Commonwealth, Trance reveals her true form, Harper holds a weapon capable of destroying the Commonwealth, Beka becomes possessed by the Spirit of the Abyss, and a new crew member joins. But the Magog Worldship is nearing, and the final confrontation is to protect a Utopian society from it.

The intro reads as follows:
"The universe is a dangerous place, but in our future my crew and I fight to make it safe. I am Dylan Hunt, captain of the Andromeda Ascendant, and these are our adventures..."less «

• How did Andromeda end? Well or badly?

  Without spoilers, can someone tell me if Andromeda was concluded well? Did they tie up loose ends or was it cut abruptly? I've not watched it yet and I'm trying to decide if I want to. Seeing as how I hate it when series are cut off abruptly, I want to know what I'm getting into :P Thanks

  Does anyone else feel that we were robbed of the chance to revel in the commonwealth by the premature cancelation of the show. What I mean by this is that we loyal fans stuck with the show and the crew through all the mistakes, plot holes and poorly written character developments for 5 years. Watched all of them fight for the restoration of the commonwealth. We saw them eventually defeat all of there enemies including dakness itself, the abyss and finally succeed in there task and what do we get? a cancelled show long before we ever get to finally see them live in and adjust to the new commonwealth. I feel that it was a real slap in the face to all devout fans to cancel the series without even giving us a glimpse of the new fantastic universe that they spent 5 years praising. Sorry I just needed to rant. I am kinda sick of good shows being cancelled before they are done!! less «

• Best Character

  This forum doesn't exactly ask the tough questions, but I'm interested to know: who do you think is the best Andromeda character? *This character could be part of the main crew, or some alien whose one-time appearance made a real impression.

  I love this show... hide « show »

  The great thing about Andromeda was that instead of being extreamly serious and scientificly correct it was quite lax. I love shows that star people from other shows that can make fun of the shows they had stared in, and were quick to make jokes about the show they were currently in. The first 3 seasons were great, and I enjoyed the return of Steve Bacic as Telemechus Rhade in season four. Season five was alright, though it could be kind of confusing in a few episodes. Everything ended fairly well which made up for the strangeness of the last season. All in all a very good show that I would recommend to any Sci-Fi fan.

  8 Great

  Captain Hunt and the Commonwealth hide « show »

  Nice characters and nice soil to grow an incredible series but the relation between cause and effect is lame and stupid, the storytelling by the image and the dialogs is not connecting with the core of the story and there is a divorce between the strength of the premise and the center of the stories. Andromeda has a cast of six characters, all of them individually different. The Nietzscheans were great bad guys as well, particularly the Drago-Kazov pride. It was cool and refreshing to see humans as the main villains of a sci-fi series. There are many episodes where you have to watch several times to understand them.

  Andromeda was a great show. I start watching few years ago when I was searching for new shows to watch. hide « show »

  Andromeda was a great show. I start watching few years ago when I was searching for new shows to watch. I read about it here and it it was a pretty good ideea and it was an original one. First 3 seasons were great, the 4th seasons is pretty good too but I didn't like season 5 at all. It was Andromeda without Andromeda and I didn't quite like it. Another reason I start watching the show was because of the quotes from the begining, then I also start to like the caracters. I didn't like the way they travel through space, the slipstream, It's not quite realistic.

  Andromeda was special hide « show »

  There is something spiritual about Andromeda. It took me on a journey that allowed me to belive in the greatness of people and that perhaps we are not alone but just ignorant to what's out there. At the end of the fourth season, i found myself quiet sad and could relate to dillians sadness. He worked so hard to re-create the commenwealth, it was kind of sad for me to see him stuck on some god aweful place, where becka was greedy and trance was not herself. What happened to the friendship they all had. The fourth season was my last season, that was the end of the show for me. The 5th season was simply a bonus but the story arc was frustrating sometimes. It was nice at the end to see dillian reach his goal but i wanted more, even if it was just another episode to see what they they would set in montion with this new found peace.

  9.5 Superb

  I only reason i was watshing this show, was that my other sci-fi shows was on a brake. and i did´t have anything to do. BUT hide « show »

  I only reason i was watshing this show, was that my other sci-fi shows was on a brake. and i did´t have anything to do. BUT i have to admit it was way betther than i expected. I think i finished all 5 seasons in about 7 or 8 days, i was glued to my monitor, ( good thing i did´t have to work that week. ) Now i only wish there was more of it. In my opinion the could have maked a season more.
  Bottom Line if you like sci-fi it´s worth your time, even if it a bit old.
