Talk:A for Andromeda

message: There seem to be a few plotholes in the (new) version - for example the Andromeda program was able to access the Web, but did not copy itself thereto (failing to make backup copies is a common weakness of sentient computers. Given that the Andromeda program came from a culture that was probably defunct by the time it was picked up by Earth/other cultures at an equivalent level, and seemingly wished to contribute to genetic developments/create a hybrid development, why not aid the existing population, rather than destroy it?

message: I really enjoyed this movie for the, what I believe to be, highly relevant questions it asked and also incited me to ask.  I'd really like to get ahold of a copy of it so I could share it with friends and family.  Does anyone know if it will be coming out on DVD or even what BBC4 usually does with their film productions?  Thank you in advance for any help here. -- ZDavies 03:33, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Wasn't there a novel as well?

message: I'd like to suggest a gentle overhaul of the archive status section of the article.  Firstly, AFAIK, no moving footage from episode 3 exists - the Points of View extract was for many years thought to be from ep 3 (my 1995 Kaleidoscope Drama Guide lists it as such) due to incorrect documentation, but it's actually from episode 1.  Also it's a telerecording of a telerecording and hence poor quality, though this might be a bit "anal" for the article itself ;-)  Secondly, the extracts from episode 2 are exclusively the surviving 35mm film inserts I believe, and I think this is worth noting explicitly but prepared to discuss if others disagree.  Also the footage from episode 7 is about fifteen minutes (very possibly one of the original broadcast spools: it is apparently a pristine 35mm negative) and far more than "a few clips" and I think we should note this as well.  Thoughts everyone?

message: But I don't see how the article covers the book. It looks like instead it covers the a tv show with a book as a mention. I've deleted the Novel Project boxJask99 (talk) 19:42, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: That's because the work was originally made as a TV serial and only subsequently novelised. There is certainly scope for a separate article about the book to be created: my SF Group reading circle is discussing it (and possibly its sequel) in September, so I might suggest we expand our efforts to create a new Wiki-article. No promises, though. 87.81.230.195 (talk) 01:18, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: nice article

message: The plot summary doesn't make it clear that Andromeda is a beautiful young woman, or a very good simulacrum of one. This is relevant, as it makes people less inclined to destroy her even when her purpose is becoming evident, and it enables her to charm various (male) politicians and administrators. If no-one objects, I'll revise the text slightly. PhilUK (talk) 20:32, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
