Wasn't that the focus of the entire series?  That's not exactly something that one just "gets out of the way".  It's kind of like arresting the One-armed Man on the 5th episode of The Fugitive.Now the series really is "Dylan Hunt" and not "Andromeda", anymore.  It seems he's the one which the story revolves around.  He's the one who has all the answers even if it defies logic (For example:  There was an episode where the gravity got super heavy for a moment.  No one could move but Dylan, so he hits the button and saves everyone.  What's wrong with that?  Why could Dylan move when even the super-strong android couldn't?  Would it have killed Sorbo to let her push the button?).I was looking at the Jump The Shark website where people could post whether certain shows jumped or not.  Someone there mentioned that the Andromeda situation mirrored M*A*S*H when Alan Alda became a producer and, suddenly, Hawkeye became the absolute focus.I totally agree with that. Watch an episode and see if Alda is listed as producer.  If he is, you'll see that Hawkeye is the star and everyone but everyone can't stop mentioning (no matter how awkwardly or forced it sounds) that he's the best surgeon they've ever seen. Anyway, I still watch Andromeda if only for my Lexa fix. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
