Summary: Adromeda DVD
Comment: Great show & outstanding special features on each disc. However, a brief show description on the back of each sleeve would be helpful to consumers trying to locate select episodes (the titles can be a bit, well...unusual).
Otherwise, this is a good quality product!
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Not so good
Comment: This show is a pale imitation of other sci fi shows. The episodes in this volume are probably some of the better ones. Of course, that's not saying much. It's a shame that this show continues while good sci fi shows,i.e. Farscape,are cancelled.

Summary: Be prepared for disappointment.
Comment: The Andromeda DVDs have been somewhat of a disappointment to me, this one, 1.4 more so then the other. The episodes themselves are in wonderful quality and are the main reason I bought the DVD.
However the limited number of episodes on each disk is appalling. And the extras on it, doesn't even come close to making up for the lack of them. The bloopers were short, and were mostly of Kevin Sorbo. The behind the scenes of the alien makeup seemed promising, however was less then five minutes. And then there was the fact that I could never find the commentary for "Fear & Loathing in the Milky Way."
So my advice to you is, if you are truly an Andromeda fan, then this is something for you. But be prepared for disappointment.
