I don't see how a large engine could make you move so fast that it would cause slow aging. Of course this is a Sci-fi show so anything is possible.
Dillon, Harper, tyr and Rommie are stuck on a ship 3000 years old with a crew that hasn't hardly aged. They've supposedly have aged 20 years, but I don't see it. The oldest person on the ship is the captain and everyone else looks like they're in their 20's or 30's. I guess they started out really young.
I think Harper needs to do some modifications to the slip stream drive. It seems like it's always breaking down.
It's amazing how few people the Andromeda needs to drive it. Dillon said he went from a crew of...I thought he said 4000...down to six. If it doesn't take that many people to run the ship than why did he need so many people in the first place. Imagine how many ships the Common Wealth could of had fighting if they wouldn't of had so many people on each ship.
Anyways, I thought the episode was pretty good and it kept me interested throughout the show.moreless

TRIVIA (1)
ADD TRIVIA-
Slow aging is not no aging. The crew of the Bellerophone apparently travel so fast that time passes very slowly for them but not for those outside. A few months of their time is more than 57 years of real time. However, since they claimed to have spent 20 years of their time, which is almost 3000 years regular time, why are the crew not older? Some of the crew must have started the trip in their teens or younger if they have aged 20 years.

Kevin Sorbo and guest star Tony Todd appeared together previously on several episodes of Hercules: The legendary Journeys. Tony played the warrior Gladius in the first season episode "Gladiator", and King Gilgamesh in season five's "Faith".

ALLUSIONS (3)
ADD ALLUSIONS-
Title: The title of this episode comes from the last line of the sonnet Ozymandias by Percy Shelley. In it, the narrator speaks of how "a traveler from an antique land" has told of the statue of a powerful king that now lies in ruin, forgotten in the middle of a desert. The last lines are: "Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare. The lone and level sands stretch far away".
-
Bellerophon: Bellerophon was the only human ever to ride the winged horse Pegasus. He fell to his death when he tried to fly into the heavens and join the gods on Mount Olympus.
-
Metis: Metis was the first wife of Zeus. Fearing a prophecy that a son they bore together would usurp his throne, Zeus swallowed her, and their daughter Athena sprang full-grown from his forehead. Known for her cunning and wisdom Metis passed these traits to Zeus.
