I just read a pretty positive review of it, and the few minutes I've watched look kind of interesting, but not enough to draw me in. And,call me crazy, I have an instinctive distrust of Kevin Sorbo.
Anyone have an opinion on the show.

Eh. Some of the shows are good (occasionally even VERY good); some less so.
But the show is mostly Star Trek redux, with a bit of post-disaster universe thrown in.
Often entertaining and/or interesting, but nothing to write home about. I watch it when it happens to be on when I'm looking for something to watch.
And I say that as someone who likes Sorbo.

I hated Hurcules, but this show is pretty good. I like their view of the universe, and the concept was created by Gene Roddenberry, I believe...one of the many projects he never got around to making due to the popularity of Star Trek.
Fairly decent acting, too, which surprised me...

I capped Season 3. I thought it sucked pretty bad. More eye candy than Trek is about all I can say.

I watched most of Season 1, about half of season 2, caught the occasional season 3 eppie, and haven't seen anything from season 4 yet -- in spite of being on their e-mail list and getting an e-mail telling me all about the new show each week.
/agree with Richard -- I was really only watching it for "the 3 L's" (Lisa, Laura, and Lexa) and not because I was enjoying the show itself. And with Tyr leaving. . . there just wasn't any reason for me to watch other than the eye candy.
I actually liked the original conspet, but it just became to uneven for me. I mean -- in one episode, Rommie boasted of being able to completely annihilate a fleet of 10,000 ships in less than 2 minutes, yet in the next episode she couldn't even keep track of 3 enemy fighters and took SEVERE damage from one of them (and this is the ship that survived being hit by point singularities and being inside a nebula when it exploded, and hell even caught near the event horizon of a black hole for 300 years -- but a single FIGHTER can serioulsy damage it?
So yah, when my intelligence began to feel too insulted I stopped watching. Same for Jake 2.0 -- nice concept, crappy execution.

I havent seen a ton of it, but I liked what I saw. Sounds like the show started to fade after season two. Too bad, I thought it was pertty well graphed out. If it had been done right, then it could have been really good.
It's still fun to watch occasionaly, though...

You should watch. Two words: Seamus Harper.
I watched regularly the first season or two. I thought it was pretty cool. It wasn't *great*, as far as acting and plot went, but it was still good enough to watch. I kind of lost track of it just before Tyr left.
Did anyone else like Trance a lot better when she was purple?

not that i should be comminting on other chicks hotness, but yea they needed to keep the body paint purple.
also only reason i watch the show is it comes on between Stargate episodes.... tho i would have preffered that they had keept tremors around, that was a little more creative than andromeda.

So, the vibe I'm getting is that the show does indeed suck.
Sigh. I think the '90s is going to be looked at as some kind of golden age for sf programming for the networks. X-Files, Babylon 5, ST:tNG, Futurama, The Tick. Xena, sometimes. I'll even throw Buffy the Vampire Slayer in there because I'm feeling charitable.
What SF is on the major (free) networks now that doesn't suck? Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
Stargate! (although it IS a season (or is it 2?) behind Sci-Fi)
