Yeah Farscape I really enjoy. Andromeda on the other hand I gave up on very quickly. I found it very *generic* Very little in it was an original idea and most of it has been done better elsewhere. I can see the clear parallels with B7 though. Andromeda could have been a lot better than it is had they applied a bit of thought and not just relied on Roddenbury's name to sell it.
IMO it's a lot more hit-and-miss than _Farscape_, but I'm getting to like it better and better as time goes on. If nothing else, the fact that somebody on the writing staff obviously has half a clue about the science earns it my respect.
