Sorbo looking for new blood
As 'Andromeda' undergoes changes, the star is talking yet again
There's lots of changes apparently going on at "Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda," but that doesn't scare its star, Kevin Sorbo.
The great Capt. Dylan Hunt actor waved off any concern about losing the show's developer, Robert Hewitt Wolfe, saying that a roadblock to the right stories has now been removed.
"We said, 'Look, the idea of the show is supposed to be like the original 'Star Trek," where there's a beginning, middle and end, boom, you move on," Sorbo told Zap2it. "If you come in as a casual viewer and watch one or two episodes a month, you have fun. You know what's going on, you're not confused.' That was the biggest problem with Season 1."
While an urgency was placed on the show at the end of Season 1 to definitely form the Commonwealth, Sorbo said that even that premise will be changed with the departure of Wolfe.
"Season 2 is so much better, I think," he said. "At the end of this season, we're going to have Hunt basically say, not 'to hell with the Commonwealth,' but he's going to say, 'You know what, I've got this ship, I've got you guys with me, why don't we just go out there and help people who need our help. Let's do some good.' So the show's going to become more of an adventure, come along for the ride.
"People want escapism. They want to see the good guy beat the bad guy. We want to see triumphs that are good over evil, not see people talk about, 'Oh, she's such a bitch.' Oh god, so boring. It's amazing to me, 'Temptation Island III,' whatever."
