I'm sorry, it's probably unfair of me to be critical of this show considering how little I know about it. But, I can't help it; this is at least mildly amusing...
If you go to the Premise screen for Andromeda at Global Episode Opinion Survey , where people can rate the episodes from various genre shows, the entry for Andromeda literally says, "This series currently lacks a Premise."
To be fair, I guess there's a possibility that that means that a Premise has not been typed in for the site yet. GEOS went through a minor facelift recently, so perhaps, the Premise for Andromeda was lost and what we're seeing could be a default message. On the other hand, I checked several other shows, and they all have a Premise entry. Maybe, the show really doesn't haven't a Premise.
Seriously though, I was just bored enough this weekend to watch a few minutes here and there of a two-part storyline that I think is their season finale. I can tell there definitely is some kind of "premise" there that I'm too unfamiliar with to understand. But regardless of the "premise", I think the goal of every episode is to have more flashes, bangs, explosions, strobe lighting, and annoying music than all the episodes before. It's like they're in a contest against themselves to see if they can continually out-do their own spectacle. At this rate, episodes about three years from now will consist of nothing but bright light and noise, eliminating the need for a script or actors altogether.
Again, that's probably unfair of me. But, if you look at the ep ratings at GEOS, you'll notice the last two seasons are in decline compared to the first two, with season four being only slightly better than three. So, even those that watch must be getting disappointed. Season five already looks questionable considering the pink-clad blondroid we've seen pictured here in another thread.
