Jamahl 'Jammer' Epsicokhan recently posted his reviews of Andromeda's 'All Too Human' and 'Una Salus Victus', calling them both entertaining episodes.

'All Too Human' worked as a "cool" action show, according to Jammer. "'All Too Human' is an episode that looks like it was conceived at the John Woo School of Cinema," he wrote. "The characters wear black trench coats that flap in the wind, efficient ass-kicking is considered an especially worthy character trait, and the overall emphasis on coolness is what's of the utmost importance here. And it works. This is an effective hour of entertainment. The storyline works too, although there's nothing here to get excited about."

Overall, the review said that although the episode "wasn't as deep as it could have been," it was "good entertainment." The complete analysis, in which 'All Too Human' was awarded a score of 3 out of 4, can be found here.

'Una Salus Victus' garnered Jammer's highest rating so far this season - 3.5 out of 4. He wrote that it was "probably the best example of Andromeda Action Hour to date, and with some good characterization.

"[It] comes together in an entertaining package that director Allan Kroeker skillfully executes," Jammer continued. "The editing is right on target, and the script by Miller & Stentz flows with great efficiency. And the impact on characters is adequate, as shown by the final face-off between Dylan and Tyr, when Dylan tells Tyr he's essentially putting Museveni's corpse under his own lock and key: my ship, my cargo. Tyr still teeters on the edge of untrustworthiness, and finds this situation not to his liking; it's nice to see that he's not entirely predictable."
