Warning! Warning! Thar be spoilers ahead, matey! S P O I L E R S P A C E I warned ye! ANDROMEDA: Star-Crossed by voidprime on April 10, 2001 episode written by Ethlie Ann Vare directed by David Warry-Smith guest starring Michael Shanks "..And tell me there is an afterlife for androids and all good cyborgs go to heaven." -Gabriel to Rommie. "Rommie has a crush on the new guy." -Beka Like all Andromeda reviews I have written, there are some spoilers (mostly from the first fifteen minutes) and dialouge quoted from the said episode I'm reviewing. The episode begins with Andromeda preventing a starship being destroyed by an old Commonwealth ship. 56 dead and an android manages to escape. The Andromeda picks up the escape pod which contains an android named Gabriel (Michael Shanks of Stargate SG-1 fame) who Rommie falls for at first sight. Soon, the Andromeda is hailed by the leader of three Banshee class fighters. The leader, Admiral Shura Ikusa (Jennie Hogan), and two others are invinted aboard by Dylan. Shura is working for the Free Trade Alliance. Tyr accuses Shura and her pilots of being freebooters (FTA hires them to protect their ships while terrorists pay to have them blown up). Shura denies it. Shura asks if Dylan needs any help in destroying the starship killer aka the Resters' (Restorationists) flagship aka a Seige Perilous Class Destroyer. Dylan agrees to Shura's assistance. "I'm a warship with a mission to complete." -Rommie to Gabriel "I'm supposed to be a warship and not a lovesick schoolgirl."- Andromeda on the video screen after a conversation between her, Rommie, and Rommie the hologram.
