Ooooh!! Thinpaks!!!, October 4, 2006
This review is from: Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda: Slipstream Collection (DVD)
I was pleasantly surprised by this. The product details don't mention it at all, but this IS a "thinpaks" release. The set contains all episodes of seasons 1-5 on 50 discs in 25 dual-disc thinkpaks, packaged in a sturdy, cardboard box. The box is much smaller than the Amazon product photo makes it appear. Placed sideways on your bookshelf it will take up less room than the First Season box set. The artwork on the outer sleeves of each thinpak is the same as previous releases. Artwork on the spines of all thinpaks, when viewed together, portray the Amdromeda Ascendant comin' at ya! The discs in this collection are single-sided, unlike the double-sided discs in the 2-5 season box sets. The content and episodes on the discs are the same as in previous releases. If you already own the previous releases, this may not interest you much. However, if you didn't like the double-sided discs of the season 2-5 sets and would like the space this set will save on your shelves, it IS worth getting.

Excellent Sci-Fi Series, October 5, 2006
This review is from: Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda: Slipstream Collection (DVD)
Had no idea the Andromeda series was coming out "bundled" together in one box set collection. Was at Best Buy looking at other items and by chance stumbled across the collection. FYI - Best Buy is selling it for $99
Picked it up as a FY'06 Christmas present for the husband. Regardless if you buy it here or through Best Buy, the price is a great bargain for those who can wait for the box set rather than purchase each season individually.
Some of you may wonder about Kevin Sorbo stepping out of the Hercules role well enough to define himself as a different character. He does a great job in the series and is convincing as Dylan Hunt.
What I like about the series is each episode acts as a stand alone with a clear story to tell. Yet, each episode is woven into the entire series and like a puzzle, the pieces fit. My husband and I were hooked from episode 1.
The boxed collection is attractive and the thin paks will not monopolize an entire DVD shelf. The thin paks, when in the box together, display the Andromeda Ascendent on the spinal cover.
Excellent series. This is a good deal.

The Best Ever Set, February 4, 2007
This review is from: Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda: Slipstream Collection (DVD)
I believe this is by far the best DVD set ever created. This set is well worth every single penny spent. I absolutely loved this collection. To be able to see every episode and so much behind the scenes information was incredible. I really wished that Andromeda stayed on for many more seasons. I believe shows like these bring some light into our dark world at times. If Andromeda was to come out again, they definitely have someone here willing to watch every winking moment.
