The long night has come. The Systems Commonwealth, the greatest civilization in history, has fallen. But now, one ship, one crew have vowed to drive back the night and rekindle the light of civilization. On the starship Andromeda, hope lives again.

The series is set thousands of years in the future, and revolves around the Systems Commonwealth, a republic based in a distant star system called Tarn-Vedra. Humankind is a part of The Commonwealth, having been discovered by its members thousands of years before. The Commonwealth spreads across three galaxies: the Milky Way, Triangulum, and Andromeda, with Tarn-Vedra near its core. Ships travel from one end of the Commonwealth to the other through slipstreams, following roller coaster-like pathways through the cosmos to and from their destination.
The Commonwealth claims to be a utopian society, but it is actually in a state of war with the Magog, a predatory humanoid species with bat-like faces that is dedicated to war.

...Pieris japonica, Japanese andromeda come to mind for me.
ReplyDeleteI googled it; pretty plant!
DeleteI don’t remember this
ReplyDeleteNo, me either. 5 seasons! I can't imagine how I missed it.
DeleteYeah, I watched all the iterations of Star Trek, too. I'll have to ask Himself if he heard of this.
DeleteEnjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteThere are others out there.
DeleteI don't remember this at all and it's the sort of programme we would have watched.
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what I thought. I can't imagine how I missed this series.
DeleteAnother series that has passed me by.... Valerie
ReplyDeleteMy husband just read a list of most under-rated science fiction series of the last decade, and I hadn't even heard of most of them. We don't get cable, so I'm out of that loop.
DeleteGoodness! I missed this one, too. I know why--had gone to college as an adult in 1999 and was swamped with homework for about five years there so I saw very little television those years.
ReplyDeleteProbably it was on cable at a time we didn't have cable. Maybe. I can't imagine how I didn't know this was a thing.
DeleteI haven't seen this series, but it sounds good. Happy weekend. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteIt would've been better back in the day, I think.
DeleteNot seen this, with all the digital mastery now I can see why it may be a bit dated 😀. I hope you had a lovely weekend! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteSome things hold up better than others. While the original Star Trek, for example, holds up for me, this one just seemed completely locked in its time.
