My memory of the CGI was much much better :)

[@shadowone01x99]

Modern advancement in tv resolution rates and more recent tv series and movies using cinema level CG have molded our minds which in turn affects how our memories recall older early CG tv series.

[@corum4life246]

that means your getting older :P

[@KMCA779]

it's not the quality that gets me, it's the recycled animations. I think they got greedy with the quality and decided they didn't care about the quantity of animation... and then it aged and now has neither quantity or quality.

[@veselinmihaljevic7379]

There weren't HD and 4K resolutions at a time 🤣

I liked the early series, I did forget how bad the cgi was.....

[@TheCormTube]

And the tech was available for it to be much better. The way Andromeda fired was particularly bad.

[@Snarlacc]

It's not the bad CGI that always got me but their reuse of it. There is one scene of the "Maru" getting pelted by explosions that gets reused a lot.

Its good but I can't watch this I forgot how excellent a series Andromeda was, I have the full box set on DVD I will have to watch them all again, they had some really epic space battles for a made for TV series. Kevin Sorbo ended up doing some good movies "Sniper Elite" being one but Hollyweird kind of cut Kevin out of the big movies must have been something he did right.

[@ЯрославЛ-ф1ж]

He was always a devout Christian and went on to do related work, in fact i think it was him who pushed for this series to be very Christian themed. Three guesses as to how modern Hollyweird reacted to all that.

Why is that so odd. RL warship carry land attack missiles. In Sci-Fi, ships would carry planetary missiles for several reasons. An anti ship missile will be doing a decent amount of the speed of light, with stuff like an anti matter warhead. Now imagine what such a missile would do to a planet. Pick your favourite "asteroid hitting a planet" film, for an idea of what one of these missiles would to to a planet. Planetary missiles would be scaled down, so as not to trash the planet, with a few hits.

Some real women are strong, some are week... We have to many strong female characters and not enough week female characters.

She regards the crew as her family, and as Squad leader you SEE them die all the time. Even pilots as good as rogue squadron got loses during the war with the empire. If she would have objected against it, no one would have complained at all.

[@robkemp598]

Well to be fair the new commonwealth only has 30 old high guard ships and the rest are member world ships. The bulk of their military power comes from the Sabre -Jaguar Pride. They did slowly build a few new ships but they only had 50 worlds. That's still a nothingth of a percent compared to the 1 million world's of the old commonwealth. The Pryian Empire had 1 million world's if not more after the long night so they were FAR out of their weight class, a tiny regional power vs a Hyper power

as far i know it was a concept he tryeed to pitch a couple of times , but much like big studios today rather choke the market and milk customers for crap the cable channels and such back then shoot it down as what the subscribers never knew of they never miss while refreshing their cable tv subs , as far i know it was not until later after he died and his wife more or lees was 'leasing' out his ideas to ghost writers with his postume blessing to keep herself well supplied that it got picked up as a hit or two of something else predictably made the big channels and such all want their own ''gene rodenberry material'' , and indeed andromeda as far i know only hade some of its characters and basic universe fleshed out and little more when it at last got a chance to shine , despite the muck that the channels and second hand directors/writers/ego's fractured its potential with because dam , the way the concept treated A.I's as PROPER A.I's ...and its universe hade a simple but so deliciously organic history just like the characters ..what a priceless cult thing it could have been if not damaged by the 'muck' of the 'time' it was made in so to speak
