Official Score = 2 1/2 Devils[/caption]I am a fan of Kevin Sorbo (Hercules: The Legendary) but up until 2000 I honestly would not have thought of Kevin Sorbo as a Science Fiction actor... I mean he did such a great job as, 'Hercules' in, (Hercules: The Legendary Journey), but you know what? He actually did a surprisingly great job as, 'Captain Dylan Hunt' in the 2000 - 2005 Gene Roddenberry created TV series Andromeda!
Written & Developed by: Robert Hewitt Wolfe (Riverworld) and Directed by: Allan Kroeker (Cult) Starring: Kevin Sorbo, Lisa Ryder (Jason X), Keith Hamilton Cobb (Eyes Beyond Seeing), Laura Bertram (50/50), Brent Stait (Final Destination 5), Gordon Michael Woolvett (Bride Of Chucky) & Lexa Doig (Continuum)!
This episode sort of starts it all, you see in the world of Andromeda, Captain Dylan Hunt (Sorbo) is the CO of the Commonwealth Ship, 'Andromeda Ascendant' and during this time, he is lead in to a Nietzschean ambush, during this time Hunt evacuates the crew... except his traitorous first officer who stays on board, and as the ship heads for a black hole, Hunt ends up taking out hist first officer!

Captain Dylan Hunt on board the, 'Andromeda Ascendant' before him and his ship end up being launched hundreds of years in to the future![/caption]Now centuries later, the Galaxy has become drastically less ordered with the collapse of the, 'Commonwealth', during this time a salvage ship finds, 'The Andromeda' and thinking that she is an old abandoned, 'Commonwealth' vessel that had been set adrift, come aboard to try and salvage it... Little do they know that Captain Hunt had been in suspended animation during this time and will do everything he can to reclaim his vessel!
In the end though, this crew will learn to work with Hunt, and the crew will set off on a life that no one will ever forget it!

Captain Hunt and the new crew of the, 'Andromeda'![/caption]Now I can tell you what is great about this show, but for this episode, the best thing honestly is seeing where this ship comes together and how one man is going to have to learn to live his life in a Universe that he no longer understands!
In the end this episode is a good start to a great series, I liked it, and if you give it a chance I think that you will find that you like it as well!
