With Kevin Sorbo? I remember enjoying that show when it was first on. It kind of fell apart and got a little stupid near the end. At least that's what I seem to remember about it.

Despite being a Sorbo fan, I can't remember watching that much of it. Kind of a shame that Sorbo's career massively stalled and then he got stuck doing a lot of made4tv movies. (I thought he'd got more into the Christian film industry, but it looks like he might have only done two movies.)

Shame he didn't pick up more VA work, too.

I mean Sorbo didn't do much, but Lawless has definitely been working. Outside of one off parts, she was in Galactica, Parks & Rec, Ash vs evil dead and agents of shield. Tbf to both, their shows each ran for years.

idk, Lucy Lawless still seemed to get a decent amount of high-profile roles after Xena. This is included work on popular shows like Parks & Rec, X-Files, and Battlestar Galactica.

Fantastic show, although it lost me by the end. Part of what I disliked is the handling of Scorpius later on.

I remember enjoying the first season of Andromeda and then just... losing interest real fast after that. Basically it was the reverse for me in regards to Farscape.

Also, I still laugh to this day about what Stargate SG-1 did in its 200th episode when it referenced Farscape.

Season 1 was good

I'm not liking season 2 as much. I think it's because it has less comedy and less hijinks. Like Beka trying to get with Tyr or Rommy and Dylan being a thing. Rem left because I guess his costume and make was too expensive. But Beka and Rommy look hotter now. Not sure what it is. I just got to the episode where they get a new Trance that is more serious. I liked the idea of a ditsy yet super powerful character. But the change seemed to have nerfed her, made her less fun, and not purple. I guess her change was cost based too since she has no tail either.

I just finished season 2

I wish they didn't make it more serious. Why didn't future Trance give more info about the future before? Why do they keep introducing new big villains? They never addressed the M'gog electricity god or that flying super M'gog colony but now they have the invaders from another dimension and Trance's brother maybe. Hopefully it's all related. If it is then I'm guessing Trance and her brother are from this other universe and so is that M'gog god. But some reason Trance is no where near as powerful as her brother or just hasn't ever shown it even when everyone she cares about is about to die.

My main gripes with the show were that
1) The Andromeda Ascendant became a museum of artifacts which hold cosmic significance, yet any plot line which treated them as such was dropped from the show.
2) When you do finally get an explanation for some the shows main mysteries it's contradictory to what was initially depicted.

I recall this show as (allegedly) a script that was found in Gene Roddenberry's trash can after his death.

It wouldn't surprise me if somebody dropped acid after reading it and then made Lexx.

Never finished it, iirc. I only saw a certain amount of stuff from the "dark universe", which I guess was the fourth and final season.

If I recall correctly 1st season was the movies. 2nd season was primarily about "Mantrid Drones". 3rd season took place on the planets Fire and Water. Then the 4th season was Earth. The 4th was probaly the weakest. The characters were a little too out of place and the setting didn't fit with how wacky everything else had been.

Where Andromeda set up high stakes and didn't know what to do with them, Lexx wasn't trying to take itself seriously but could deliver on serious moments. Except the 4th season felt more bleak than anything else leading up to it.

I'm a few episodes into season 3. It's less serious which I like. I really want to see more of Trance. Fight scenes with Rommie are terrible. I like seeing her though. I'm rooting for her to get with Harper but she keeps falling in love with randos. And I sometimes see random extra crew members on the ship. Did they recruit more people?

And the M'gog. They have space ships, connected 20 planets around a sun, and have a super advanced laser cannon thing but for some reason have no weapons, no clothing or armor, and their dwellings are just caves with no signs of technology or culture. They're just as advanced as other aliens in some ways but stone age in other ways.

When does she start getting fantastic? Because I wasn't wowed in season 1 and I kinda checked out during s2e1.

Granted, the other problem I had was choosing to watch AvED right after Stan Against Evil, which was a much better show so my expectations were probably too high.

I think this was somewhat explained later. I would be going off memory though so would be wrong most likely if I tried explaining it. Plus I don't think I saw most of season 2 or 3.

The M'gog aren't exactly the crew of that thing. They're more like the cargo.

Maybe because they just don't want them. The M'gog are smart enough to make use of advanced technology but they don't see the need for it. If you care about wearing armor then you need to be able to repair armor, make armor, and harvest materials for armor. But they prefer to approach problems with overwhelming numbers and physical strength without any regard for how many of them might be killed in the process.

Since they don't make anything themselves aside from more M'gog everything they have was either taken from prey or they were being guided by The Abyss.

For me it hit a decline in Season 5, managed to end that season at a decent place, and then gave us one more season that . . . I just couldn't be assed to care about. One thing after another with the first few episodes alone, and I was done forever with the show.

I gave up on Supergirl shortly after the MM reveal despite MM being my favorite DC character outside of Gaiman's reach of all time...and yes, I know Jon shows up, but he's about as influential as Constantine was after the first GN.

Supergirl is one I gave up on with the series trailer. I had been saying when I gave up on Agents of SHIELD beforehand. I wanted to like the CW's Arrowverse, but I just couldn't get into it, sadly.

The cast wore thin on me pretty quickly. I didn't really like Coulson from the way he was presented in his early MCU cross-overs and his usage in Avengers felt forced. And Skye/Daisy's acting always left me flat, even if she is cute.
