Too true, we geeky guys like smart women that are also hot

Andromeda's problem wasn't even the writers. A lot of it lay within Tribune who has the same mentality as UPN - except they cater to the Hercules/Xena types. Shows with one central character and a cheerleading squad to follow them around. At the end of season 3, Majel left the production and after writing like 11 episodes of season 3, RH Wolfe was fired for not being able to dumb down his work for the yokels as much as they wanted.

It also didn't help the show when Kevin Sorbo refused to sign the contracts unless he was given Executive Producer Status and forced Wolfe out.

The real sad part is that Andromeda had a lot more potential than anyone ever gave it. Like the Osiris Chronicles, Andromeda will forever burn in level of hell devoted to good ideas bastardized by idiot actors and executives.

Stargate, on the other hand, was supposed to wrap up in Season Sxi with a big Feature Film. That got pushed off to Season 7... then to season 7 finale which was to kick off Atlantis... then to season eight... then Bleh. They gave up on ending it or something.

Now if SciFi pics up Enterprise, It's be a great lead-off from Galactica or Lead-in for Stargate SG1. Hopefully the sets can be salvaged and the deal set soon. And I really hope Paramount decides to not demand full price for Enterprise, the licensng fees for star trek is insanely high. One could pay of the US National Debt faster!

Just watched "6-degrees of Seperation" episode on my Tivo last night. Damn, this show is getting good! That was a really well-done episode! Great character stuff!

Wait until you watch the final episode of the season. That one is a real good one.

BTW, the more people who watch the first episode on the above linked to sight, the more likely Sci-fi Channel is to believe that they have a hit on their hands and buy more episodes. Just a thought.

I had to download realplayer and didn't have the hang yet so i was about 1 third of the way through when I disconnected. Now it won't connect again. Either my problem or every one is trying to watch it.

Edit: ahh, got it now. had to copy the address to the realbrowser
