Apparently following on to Frank Garcia's recent Kevin Sorbo interview, the Fandom.com writer has put up another Andromeda article, this week featuring an interview with Andromeda star Lexa Doig (Andromeda). In the interview, Doig reveals some more info on 'Star-Crossed', the episode in which Stargate SG-1's Michael Shanks will be guest-starring. "The basis [of the episode]", explains Doig in the interview, "is that Andromeda falls in love with what turns out to be the avatar of another ship. [...] In their intimacies, what Gabriel [Shanks' character] did to Rommie affects her systems with a virus and shares all of her information with the enemy ship. "So basically, Dylan has to shut her down so that this enemy ship won't get access to all this information that she is unwittingly transmitting. This is the closest that Andromeda has ever been to feeling human. She never really wanted to, to begin with. She had no screaming desire to be human. She's a warship and that's a pretty good thing for her. Feeling human, feeling the joy of love, and having intimacy with someone and how wonderful that is, and then experiencing betrayal and pain, and concepts of guilt, [are all the new emotions Rommie must now contend with]." Not only does Doig talk about several specific episodes, in the interview she also talks about her character in general, as you can read in this highlight from the article:
Doig also appears to be very patient and pragmatic about the amount of time necessary for the series, and her character, to grow. "There's a huge potential for my character to be interesting," she says. "I was initially worried that she would be the expositional character. As the ship, she gives the information that the audience needs to hear, which is necessary particularly when you're building a new universe. You've gotta explain the rules of the universe. Who's on it? Who are these people? What are they like? There was a fear that that's what Andromeda would be.For more, please head on over to the full article. |
