Andromeda

I really like this episode and yes for me it was exciting and mostly fun since it really looks as though the crew on the Andromeda really got themselves in another bad situation and naturally it takes a very smart, experienced, war hero to save the "universe" by killing the cetus even at the risk of killing himself!!



Ok, that was really a bit far fetch and so typical of where the writers were taking this story but Kevin Sorbo has such a natural knack of making things look so convincing that his character Dylan Hunt is the kind of hero capable of pulling off a big "SAVE" for everyone. What makes this episode fun to watch is that we all know that they will find a way to survive its just up to the clever writers to come up with a plan to rescue everyone in the story with enough intrigue and suspense as we watch the crew get themselves in a twist on how to get themselves out of the cetus alive and wanting to risk it all to save themselves and the planet by killing the cetus!! Meanwhile Dylan and Trance have plans of their own to rescue Andromeda and its crew and to destroy the fetus!! "The eat your cake and still have it plan" by destroying the cetus and saving the Andromeda, so luckily, the plan worked, the crew got to the panic button first and gave the cetus a really bad indigestion and down to the last few minutes of the show rescued themselves, destroyed the cetus and saved the day!!

This episode was above average at best for me. The special effects, as usual were great for what they envisioned. However, I would have liked the Cetus, not sure of the spelling, to look less energy like and more creature like. I would think that a creature that lives in the vacuum of space would be more insulated, more opaque, then the clear creature they ended up in with the show. The plot was average, it was the special effects that rescued the rating. There should have been some inclusion of the population of the planet. I would have enjoyed seeing the creature take a bite out of the planet as well, whether it be an old video or in the present time of the episode. This episode reminded me of \'The Immunity Syndrome\' from the original Star Trek series.
