Some view Space Opera Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda as an unbranded Star Trek series. It is perhaps more accurately described as Star Trek in reverse. The show lasted from October 2000 to May 2005.The story opens aboard the titular starship, the Andromeda Ascendant, a "warship of the line" for the Systems Commonwealth, a government founded by a race of Sufficiently Advanced Aliens called the Vedrans, which kept the peace among their worlds spanning three galaxies—emphasis on the past-tense. Though their technology was vast and their captains were noble and compassionate, they ran into a mess of problems all at once. First a race of cannibalistic savages known as the Magog invaded by the billions, wiping out entire Commonwealth worlds. And just after fighting the Magog to a standstill and making a peace treaty with them, one of the Commonwealth's member races rebels, the fractious Nietzscheans, genetically engineered humans obsessed with eugenics and following the chilly philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. The first battle of the Nietzschean Rebellion ends up with the Andromeda evacuating its crew and trying a slingshot around a black hole to escape, freezing ship and captain in time.Three hundred years later, the Commonwealth is a distant memory, and a dark age has fallen over the known worlds. The Eureka Maru, a salvage ship crewed by a rag-tag team of minor-league criminals, happens upon the Andromeda and tows it to safety, thinking this will be the score of a lifetime. Mostly through his own strength of character, the revived Captain Hunt convinces the crew of the Maru to join him and try to re-unite the Commonwealth (or, at least, try to be of marginal assistance to his quest as they mooch off the Andromeda's resources).The show has its origins in a combination of two separate Roddenberry story ideas from the 1970s, one about a sentient starship and a second about a man from the past trying to piece the remnants of civilization back together after it has crumbled - essentially, "What if The Federation fell?" The former never made it to the air prior to Andromeda, but Roddenberry (who died in 1991) used the latter concept in no fewer than three separate unsuccessful pilots (two of which actually included a protagonist named Dylan Hunt) before giving up on it. Undoubtedly these ideas were further developed by the Andromeda creative team. As a consequence, it's difficult to see Roddenberry's hand in this hard-boiled, dystopian future. Andromeda also had a spiritual bent unlike anything seen in Trek, except perhaps in the God Guise aliens of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.The initial core crew is, approximately, The Team: Captain Hunt — The Hero, a human from the now-lost Commonwealth capital on Tarn Vedra (He eventually turns out to be not-quite-human after all: he's a Human-Vedran hybrid, or rather Human-Paradine: Vedrans who have become something more), and his human half comes from a genetically-enhanced Heavyworlder). Beka Valentine — The Lancer, hotshot pilot, recovering drug addict, and captain of the Eureka Maru. Secretly the genetic matriarch of the entire Nietzschean race via Time Travel. Tyr Anasazi — The Big Guy, Proud Warrior Race Guy, and Token Evil Teammate, last survivor of a vanquished Nietzschean clan (and at times, straddles the line between a Nietzsche Wannabe and an Ãœbermensch). Trance Gemini — The Heart, cute and naïve Waif Prophet and medical officer, who later gets Darker and Edgier via Time Travel. Seamus Zelazny Harper — The Smart Guy, The Lab Rat, Mr. Fixit, a bit of a Casanova Wannabe, and more often a Fatal Attractor, the only member of the crew actually from the ghetto planet Earth, technician and hyper-active genius engineer who (re-)builds Rommie's avatar body.With three additional regular characters: Rommie — The ship's female-shaped android avatar ("Andromeda" refers specifically to the ship's holographic AI, and also to the three individual entities of the ship [Andromeda Ascendant], the AI [Andromeda], and the android [Rommie]). Rev Bem — aka. Behemial Fartraveller aka. Red Plague. A reformed Magog, scientist, sociologist and pacifist priest. Late in the show when Rommie is believed destroyed Harper builds a new Robot Girl named Doyle as a Replacement Goldfish, who has identity issues and who thinks she is the rightful avatar of the Andromeda Ascendant. Hilarity Ensues (not).Midway through the second season, the showrunner had a falling out with the male lead and is replaced. Rev Bem leaves the ship when his actor develops an allergy to the Magog makeup. This is when things start to get a little zany. After the third season, Tyr Anasazi is replaced by Telemachus Rhade, the Identical Grandson of Hunt's original first officer. This is when things get a little more zany.In the universe of Andromeda, every celestial body has an "avatar", a humanoid counterpart of vast power. Such beings crop up from time, including the moon of Tarn Vedra, the black hole (who turns out to be the universe's greatest clingy ex-girlfriend), and, most importantly, Trance, who, it is eventually revealed, despite her youthful appearance and character, is the wayward sun of Tarn Vedra, the oldest star in the universe. Halfway through the second season, Trance is replaced by an older and moodier version of herself (not an other Darrin; it's the same actress in different makeup).Subverting the Failure Is the Only Option trope, Dylan and his crew actually do restore the Systems Commonwealth, though internal politics promptly gets Dylan and his crew kicked out of it.For most of the series, an approaching Magog worldship serves as an impending Dragon, guided by The Man Behind the Man, a shadow-cloaked avatar known as "The Spirit of the Abyss", a powerful chaotic force. When this comes to a head in the fourth season finale, Dylan is forced to escape through a Negative Space Wedgie to the timeless, isolated Seefra system, really the massively transformed Tarn Vedra system.Andromeda was inordinately fond of the Negative Space Wedgie, depicting a universe rife with temporal anomalies — in fact, the Andromeda Ascendant itself incorporated dimensional anomalies into its very construction. For a starship crew the cast also spent a great deal of time underground, presumably because somebody in the first season invested money in a tunnel set that had to be re-used over and over again.In addition to the obvious Star Trek parallels, Andromeda clearly owes a lot to Blake's 7.Technically set approximately 3 millennia into the future (Figure from ep. Harper^2), though effectively A Long Time Ago, in a Galaxy Far, Far Away...: Earth exists, but is hardly ever mentioned, except to say that it's not a very nice place to hang out these days.Sometimes described as "Herc meets Kirk", because Kevin Sorbo, best known for his role as Hercules in Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, is playing the role of a kind, wise and mysteriously super-strong character in the role that Captain Kirk filled in the original series of Star Trek, which this show so closely resembles.

Artistic License – Gun Safety
 Andromeda / int_10134c97
comment
Artistic License – Gun Safety: Dylan Hunt's "force lance" is possibly the most unsafe blaster-type hand weapon ever imagined. In its collapsed form it's a foot-long cylinder with a button for a trigger and nothing that even resembles sights, a grip, or a trigger guard. The only way Dylan can aim it is to hold it at arm's length and sight along his arm. Even worse, the blaster function remains operational when the weapon is extended to its six-foot-long "fighting staff" form, raising the possibility of an accidental discharge at any time, regardless of where it's pointed.

Temporal Suicide: In the episode "The Unconquerable Man", a future version of Dylan Hunt's treacherous first officer Gaheris Rhade — having come to regret this role in overthrowing the Commonwealth, and learned that Dylan, not he, is the right person to restore it — travels back in time, kills his younger self and takes his place. He then throws the fight with Dylan which he originally won, thus allowing the events of the series to date to occur.

Hyperspace Lanes
 Andromeda / int_142f2d88
comment
Hyperspace Lanes: Several star systems are strategically important because you need to travel through them on your way from one slipstream to another. Just the place to lay in ambush, or place a BFG IN SPACE! In one episode, they're trying to get to Tarn Vedra (the lost capital planet of the old Commonwealth) by following a ridiculously complicated sequence of slipstream routes. Several of the steps are jumps between different galaxies! The lanes were purposefully scrambled this way to keep away the Nietzscheans after the Commonwealth lost the war.

Most Writers Are Human
 Andromeda / int_144d31b1
comment
Most Writers Are Human: While the Commonwealth consisted of many, many species, humans are apparently the most populous of them. The background information specifically notes humans as among the most prolific breeders and colonizers, as well as the source of most androids and genetically-engineered spin-offs like Nietzscheans. Humans seem to have been the most widespread because they were easy to engineer (or no one cared enough to stop them) and pretty much anywhere that life could exist, there is an engineered form of humanity to plunder it. From high gravity worlds to under the sea, humanity is all up in nature's face eating her resources.

If I Wanted You Dead...: Invoked in "All Great Neptune's Ocean" when Tyr is accused of killing a visiting leader who once caused the death of several Nietzscheans; Tyr defends himself to Dylan by pointing out all the ways that he could have killed the man without attracting suspicion to himself as evidence that he didn't (according to available data) just shoot the man with his force-lance.

Hyperspace Is a Scary Place
 Andromeda / int_204a1207
comment
Hyperspace Is a Scary Place: The Slipstream is not scary in the sense of horror, but it's scary in the sense that it's a highly complex, ever-shifting maze with only a few Hyperspace Lanes being permanent routes and most everything else requiring intuition (which is why humans are so good at navigating unlike any given AI). Things become really scary when one eventually gets lost, which happens at least once to the Andromeda.

Literary Allusion Title
 Andromeda / int_27690f66
comment
Literary Allusion Title: An improbable number of episodes were named after lines from W. B. Yeats' poem "The Second Coming". Some examples: "The Widening Gyre"; "Pitiless as the Sun"; "Its Hour Come 'Round at Last". In general episode titles were influenced by literature, such as "The Pearls That Were His Eyes" (Shakespeare), "To Loose the Fateful Lightning" (Julia Ward Howe), and "Fear and Loathing in the Milky Way" (Hunter S. Thompson). The Bard on Board: "Star-Crossed" has a tragic love affair between Rommie and the avatar of an enemy ship. It ends about as well as it does for Romeo and Juliet, and Rommie begs Dylan to have her dismantled.

comment
Genetic Memory: The episode "The Devil Take the Hindmost" has a race of people who have this. They are also pacifists because of this, as they know that if they fought in battle, then all their children would be born knowing the horror of war. When their planet is threatened by Nietzscheans, they face the possibility that they will have to fight, but one woman impregnates herself with Magog larvae who soon hatch and mature into full-grown beast men. Because of the genetic memory of their mother, they all had knowledge of her peaceful ways, giving them a stark contrast to regular Magog, who are bloodthirsty killers.

Critical Staffing Shortage
 Andromeda / int_31f9cec9
comment
Critical Staffing Shortage: The Andromeda Ascendant originally had a crew of thousands, but in the first episode everyone but Captain Dylan Hunt either abandons ship or is killed as it gets stuck in orbit around a black hole. For most of the series the crew consists of the captain and the five (later four) former crew of a salvage ship who pulled the ship away from the black hole 300 years later (due to Time Dilation). Other characters join as well, and the crew varies between 6 and 7 for most of the rest of the series. Andromeda's Artificial Intelligence can fill most crew roles herself so they get by, but it's pointed out several times that the ship is way less effective in combat — or anything else — than it would be fully crewed.

comment
Morton's Fork: Invoked when Andromeda finds itself in the past prior to the Battle of Witchhead Nebula and is faced with the possibility that he could change history to save the Commonwealth or allow the Nietzscheans to form their planned government, as the Nietzscheans' planned empire might be able to protect other worlds from later Magog attacks where the Commonwealth is now too weak even if they didn't collapse after this battle. Talking with Rev Bem about his options, Dylan observes that Magog assaults on planets are devastating but they always left the worlds alone after the initial attack, where worlds controlled by Nietzscheans could endure long-term enslavement; both were horrible in their own way, but Dylan questions whether either would be 'better'.

I Am X, Son of Y: The Nietzscheans will give their given name, family name, name of pride, and name of both parents when introducing themselves formally. For example: "I am Tyr Anasazi of Kodiak Pride, out of Victoria by Barbarosa." Considering the importance of lineage to the Nietzscheans, this makes sense.

A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Most of the ships' artificial intelligences are fairly sane and lucid, but the Balance of Judgment is an eco-terrorist with a vendetta against slipstream drives and the Pax Magellanic had a mental breakdown after being betrayed by her captain/lover. It's explicitly said that A.I.s without the input of others—Captains, crew, or other A.I.s—tend to go insane, and that this is why AI ships don't captain themselves.

Xanatos Speed Chess: Dylan is a master of this. Tyr was able to play at almost the same level in the first season and a half, very nearly defeating Dylan a few times before switching sides at the last minute. This peaked in the episode The Prince where both reached heights they never had before and never would again by working together on such a project. After the original creator "left", Tyr suffered a horrible case of Badass Decay and quickly became a more straight-forward villain type.

Dylan is separated from his fiancée Sara after being trapped in time by the effect of the black hole. In a later episode of Season 1, they manage to communicate across time but not to reunite physically and Dylan tells her to move on with her life without him. In Season 2, the crew finds that she took his advice, and helped found a hidden planet where Commonwealth culture is still intact, and she has descendants.

Always Chaotic Evil: Assumed of the Nietzscheans and the Magog by most people in-universe, but subverted in both cases. The Magog are capable of being good, most just don't choose to be. And Nietzscheans are always self-interested, which usually means treating people as either slaves or marks.

Stock Footage: The same space battle shots are re-used over and over.

Immigrant Patriotism: Although human, Dylan is far more concerned with Tarn Vedra, the homeworld of the Vedran species and capital of the All Systems Commonwealth, where he was born, than with the Earth. In fact, Harper is the only crewmember who cares about Earth much. At least until Dylan's speech about Earth representing what they're fighting for in the series finale (shortly before it's blown up), but Season 5 was full of Series Continuity Errors.

Fantastic Racism: Not just for/against aliens, either; the Knights of Genetic Purity hunt down all modified human-offshoots.

However, Dylan points out that between biomodified races like the Inari, Heavy Worlders, commercially available modifications and purely accidental mutations, less than 12% or so of the humans in the entire known universe fall under their definition of "pure".

Names to Run Away from Really Fast
 Andromeda / int_60fa92ac
comment
Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Nietzscheans tend to give themselves names that are Badass Boasts, like ethnic groups with a warlike reputation (Sabra), military leaders (Guderian) or even War Gods(Tyr). Three Magog names we've heard are Blood Mist, Red Plague (Rev. Bem's real name) and Bilethroat. Even the name "Magog" itself is one with its Biblical connotations. The Siege Perilous class destroyers like the Balance of Judgment were designed for one purpose.

 Andromeda / int_81c72ad5
comment
Vestigial Empire: The Systems Commonwealth, which once spanned a million worlds in three galaxies, is now reduced to a single ship and a few out-of-the-way Cargo Cult Colonies. The Nietzschean Empire shattered in a big way after Witchhead, with the separate prides going their own way. Large prides like Drago-Kazov and Sabra-Jaguar are still significant intergalactic power-players, but in general the Nietzscheans spend more time jockeying among themselves for power, resources and mating rights than doing anything else. Besides, even if a single leader could re-unite the Nietzscheans, a resurrected Nietzschean Empire would still be a far cry from the force that shattered the Systems Commonwealth.

Tyr was able to play at almost the same level in the first season and a half, very nearly defeating Dylan a few times before switching sides at the last minute. This peaked in the episode The Prince where both reached heights they never had before and never would again by working together on such a project. After the original creator "left", Tyr suffered a horrible case of Badass Decay and quickly became a more straight-forward villain type.

Badass Army: Nietzscheans think they are but they're really not. While most Nietzscheans are physically formidable, actually training would be considered tantamount to admitting genetic inferiority, and the Chronic Backstabbing Disorder that plagues them as a culture does their command cohesion no favors. While a Nietzschean leader with the skill and charisma to get his people to train and keep them in line will inevitably command an outright terrifying force, those who can pull it off are few and far between.

 Andromeda / int_8dd4a996
comment
Identical Grandson: "Genetic reincarnation" is a proven phenomenon for Nietzscheans due to their low genetic diversity (the original Nietzschean population was only about 8000, the Nietzscheans deliberately stripped their genome of a large number of "genetic defects" such as haemophilia and predispositions for diabetes and various cancers, thus reducing the number of genes they have, and they breed for a very specific set of traits). Telemachus Rhade is played by the same actor as his ancestor Gaheris Rhade, and Tyr's son was apparently the reincarnation of the first Nietzschean (and therefore their Messiah) Drago Museveni. It's lampshaded that the odds of this are still in the trillions even with fewer genes, but since there are trillions of Nietzscheans (with more being born every day) it still happens often enough.

Replaced with Replica: One episode had the Andromeda crew attempting to negotiate for the return to the Than of an artifact called the Hegemon's Heart. Since they were doubtful they could persuade its current owner to return it through negotiation, Dylan authorizes a mission to steal the Heart and replace it with a fake they'd engineered. When trying to access the map the heart was supposed to have at its core, Beka realizes the heart they'd stolen is itself a fake and the real one is in possession of an old lover of hers, who was supposed to be protecting the thing in the first place.

Apocalypse How
 Andromeda / int_91e894b4
comment
Apocalypse How: Many different ways, starting with High Guard ships of the line, such as the Andromeda, that are said to be capable of de-civilizing an Earth-like planet in under two minutes with their conventional weapons.note 1 kilogram missiles, launched at 0.9c. Delivering about 8 megatons per impact. 19,200 rounds per minute. Two minutes would be generous. Which is not to speak of the Nova Bombs that the Andromeda—a fairly standard ship of the line—carried 40 of, each of which was capable of turning a star inside out by nullifying its gravitational pull, and thus destroying an entire star system and everything in it in the resulting explosion. The Nietzcheans also possess planet-busters, although they also have an absolute resolve not to use such a weapon against a habitable planet. Then there are the Point Singularity Projectors, a weapon profligated by the Magog. The larger your mass, the more the damage—a person hit by one suffers the equivalent of a bullet wound, but hit a planet with one, and you have continents being crushed.

Hypocrisy Nod: The Wayist in "The Devil Takes The Hindmost" who is trying to stop a gentle, innocent people with Genetic Memory from having to kill in order to defend themselves against slavers, acknowledges the hypocrisy of asking Dylan to kill the enemy for him with Andromeda... Unfortunately, he has a point: if even one of these people kills, then their children will be born dealing with the guilt and memory of killing someone, tainting their immature and unformed minds from the very moment they come into the world for generations onwards until their genetic line dies out, whereas the crew don't have that problem.

TheRevolutionWillNotBeVillified
 Andromeda / int_95cde949
comment
The Revolution Will Not Be Villified: "Forced Perspective" is a complex meditation of this, as Dylan is confronted with the results of his actions on a planet ruled by a brutal dictatorship before the fall of the Commonwealth; the Accidental Murder of an Asshole Victim dictator. The guy had it coming as dictators often do, but in the chaos following his death a new dictator arose — one who originally tried to rule benevolently, but was driven to even worse crimes by constant coup attempts, assassinations and terrorist attacks. The lesson that Trance is pushing the entire episode is that in the chaotic nature of the universe control is an illusion and all we can do is control our own intentions, especially when justice and the fate of a people are concerned. This time, Dylan refuses to take the simple Just Shoot Him route in favor of forcing him to officially turn power over to his Senate, include the dissident factions into his government, then resign. The new dictator is thus becomes a Karma Houdini — unpunished for his crimes of oppression and despotism that needed to be brought to justice — but the point is the difference between revenge and justice; revenge punishes cruelty, but justice ends it, even at the expense of punishment.

Infinite Supplies: subverted in that despite the huge supplies of military arsenals the Andromeda Ascendant can fit in storage (keeping in mind she was fully stocked at the beginning of the pilot and she is a huge ship), a lot of episodes deal with the crew trying to salvage parts and supplies for her. It is mentioned, though, that as long as they can get a supply of the raw materials, Andromeda can manufacture or repair quite a lot of weapons tech etc. It's usually delicate and highly complicated parts of ship hardware that they have to find.

In the aftermath, Dylan says this is strike two for Harper. When Harper asks what strike one was, Dylan gets mad. Harper quickly witdraws the questin and leaves. Wen Rommie, who was present for the conversatin, asks what strike one was, Dylan admits that there never was a strike one.

comment
In a meta-sense, the entire Nietzschean race. At the time of the fall of the Commonwealth, the Nietzscheans, intended by their progenitor to be a race of Warrior Poet-Ãœbermenschen had, if not reached that level, at least a reasonable claim of striving towards it. By the time the series rolls around three-hundred years later, the intellectual and spiritual aspects of the progenitor's vision have all fallen by the wayside and the Nietzscheans have degenerated into little more than roving bands of morally myopic supremacist thugs. As described by the best and worst of them;

We Will All Be History Buffs in the Future

comment
We Will All Be History Buffs in the Future: It takes place around the year 5167, and after three centuries of war and barbarism in which most of intergalactic civilization has regressed to savagery. They still seem to be familiar with every aspect of our culture, from Pac-Man to garage sales to Richard Wagner. Bear in mind, these things would be as old to them as the Trojan War is to us.

Possessing a Dead Body: In the episode "Dance of the Mayflies", the Andromeda crew discover a plague that reanimates the corpses of the people it kills as zombies. It's able to possess Trance immediately, leading Dylan to question whether she was really alive to begin with (foreshadowing later developments).

Too Dumb to Live: In "Immaculate Perception" Tyr says sending the DNA of Tamerlane Anasazi for comparision with Drago Museveni's could not be kept a secret. He says that he is leaving with his son and wife while the rest of the pride can perish from it's stupidity. He invokes it himself in the same episode by acknowledging a "whatever you do don't send a message" message, although that was intentional. Tyr tells a story about a previous employer who had him functioning as combined bodyguard, personal assassin, and chef. Then the idiot decided that actually paying him for his work was optional, and it goes like you'd expect from there.

Dylan returning to Andromeda to mope that he had accidentally given children access to 80 Nova Bombs in To Loose a Fateful Lightning instead of ordering them to stand down and surrender control over the weapons to Andromeda. Keep in mind, at this point Dylan knows they revere him as "The High Guard" and would likely easily have done so. Instead, his inaction causes one heavily populated neighbouring system to be destroyed and only narrowly averts them doing similar kamikaze runs with the rest of the arsenal.

Series Continuity Error: In Season 5, the battle where Dylan and Andromeda were stuck near a black hole in the series pilot is referred to as the Battle of Witchhead, when it was actually the Battle of Hephaistos, and the Battle of Witchhead was the one the crew time-travelled to in a later Season 1 episode. Unfortunately, this isn't all that surprising, given that fans near-universally agree Season 5 was the ur-example of seasonal rot.

Revised Ending: Sort of. The original series developer, Robert Hewitt Wolfe, wrote a non-canon (technically Fan Fic) one-act-play of an outline, entitled "Coda" (warning, PDF) showing how he envisioned the series to play out past the point of his departure. It takes place during the warped time incident of "Ouroboros" with Trance explaining things to a possible version of Harper, and the whole Seefra plot of Season 5 is dismissed by her as an unlikely timeline.

Obstructionist Pacifist: An episode involves Dylan and his crew trying to save a pacifist colony from Space Pirates. When one of the pacifists deliberately blows up the crate of Smart Lances that the crew brought along (and he justifies it as better off dying than allowing the colony to be "tainted" with violence), Dylan has to do a Training the Peaceful Villagers montage and play guerrilla. More justified than most examples; the colonists have perfect genetic memory, and all children born after the battle will remember the act and emotions of killing from birth.

Crew of One
 Andromeda / int_df514fe9
comment
Crew of One: Zig-zagged. The Andromeda Ascendant originally had a crew of over 4000, but apparently she can make do with six or fewer. The catch is, as mentioned frequently in the first season, that with so few crew she has no ground troops, no fighter pilots, and her general combat capability is reduced. Technically she doesn't need crew at all, being able to run everything from planetary war-machines to nanobots. But having crewers aboard speeds up repairs, provides a lot more brains to run little things like slipfighters, and apparently is good for the mental health of the AI.

Humans Are Special: A.I.s are horrible at guessing, which makes humans and other organic lifeforms are far better at slipstream navigation. Also, ship A.I.s seem to make poor commanders, anf are more effective in combat when working with a crew. Averted partly when the AI Ryan is given command of... well, himself, aka the Wrath of Achilles. Also averted in that it's not humans in particular: it's ALL biological sentient beings, supposedly due to "something having to do with collapsing quantum wave fronts." It is, however, noted that an AI can navigate the slipstream if they have biological intuition... even if that intuition comes from harvested brains in a jar attached to the computer system.

comment
Ridiculously Human Robots Rommie has mixed feelings about discovering that Harper engineered her humanoid body with "certain features" (if you know what we mean) which, strictly speaking, aren't necessary for her normal operations, and asks whether he used gloves while handling said parts. Harper assures her that he made her android body anatomically correct simply so that she could have the full range of human experiences if she wanted to. Doyle was designed to pass as human and programmed to believe she was human, when one of her hands is damaged in Decay of the Angel, she sees the white superconductor fluid as red blood. Carter, in "All Too Human", managed to get a job in the security forces of the android-hating world of Machen Alpha. Which, being an Atoner from the old android-ruled regime, he uses to hunt other androids.

Star-Crossed Lovers: The episode where Rommie has a romance with fellow android Gabriel, whom she has to kill to prevent him from being taken over by his ship-self the Balance of Judgment after the ship body is destroyed, is literally called "Star-Crossed". Conversely, their actors Lexa Doig and Michael Shanks, who met while filming this episode, are married to this day. Dylan is separated from his fiancée Sara after being trapped in time by the effect of the black hole. In a later episode of Season 1, they manage to communicate across time but not to reunite physically and Dylan tells her to move on with her life without him. In Season 2, the crew finds that she took his advice, and helped found a hidden planet where Commonwealth culture is still intact, and she has descendants.

Flanderization
 Andromeda / int_e5e6640b
comment
Flanderization: Oh, so very much, primarily after original showrunner Wolfe left and any pretensions at character balance went with him. In a meta-sense, the entire Nietzschean race. At the time of the fall of the Commonwealth, the Nietzscheans, intended by their progenitor to be a race of Warrior Poet-Ãœbermenschen had, if not reached that level, at least a reasonable claim of striving towards it. By the time the series rolls around three-hundred years later, the intellectual and spiritual aspects of the progenitor's vision have all fallen by the wayside and the Nietzscheans have degenerated into little more than roving bands of morally myopic supremacist thugs. As described by the best and worst of them;

Drama-Preserving Handicap: On a few occasions, Dylan has to acknowledge that Andromeda, while still a powerful ship, is functionally more limited than it would have been at its peak when it had a full crew, as opposed to the present when Dylan's smaller crew have to rely more heavily on Rommie's coordination when defending themselves.

Sufficiently Advanced Alien: The Vedrans. They are between a solid type 1 to borderline type 2 on the Kardashev scale; they created multiple artificial suns. Not only that, but they have mastered the ability to tesseract and move between dimensions. Their evolved counterparts, the Paradine can time travel at will without any technological assistance.

Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: The best description of how the prison warden of the correction facility in "A Rose from the Ashes" automatically assumed that an inmate must have had outside help to develop the technology she was using rather than believe that a prisoner, genetically predisposed to disruptive behaviour, could be capable of such achievements on her own.

Robosexual: Strictly speaking, High Guard captains are discouraged from having romantic relationships with their ship avatars, with "The Mathematics of Tears" revealing why this is a bad idea, when the ship's avatar of the Pax Magellanic destroys the planet her crew was on after her captain/lover orders her to wipe herself rather than be captured during a losing battle, because rather than maintaining her military professionalism she interpreted this as a betrayal of their relationship.
