The writing crew on Andromeda includes Robert Hewitt Wolfe, who was one of the people who made DS9 so good. I really wanted to like Andromeda, but it didn't turn out that way and I dropped it after about six episodes.
Yep that's more of less how I felt. I watched it for most of the first season, I really did try to like it but couldn't.

Who cares if it chafes! In my entire life, I have *never* watched a show just for the hunky guy. But Tyr Anasazi is intelligent, misanthropic, tortured, mysterious *and* hunky - how could I resist? And the Tyr-Harper dynamic is as good in its way as Avon-Vila. I'll admit the show's overly cheery and groupy compared to my usual tastes, but I do think it's gotten a little darker recently. And I enjoy looking for B7 parallels and references - they've even had characters (I don't remember whether on-screen or just referenced off-screen) named Jenna and Blake. So I do find it quite entertaining, but of course I have rather narrow, quirky tastes.
