D MINUS ZERO
Andromeda is suddenly attacked by an unknown adversary who are unwilling to even talk to Andromeda. They have no choice but to take refuge in a sun's orbit while they repair the ship. Dylan neglects to mention that the radiation from the sun will only allow them to stay in orbit for 48 hours. Beka and Tyr ponder their loyalty to Dylan.
After Harper falls deathly ill due to the intense radiation, Beka decides that she will leave Andromeda in the Mauru with her former crew, however, it seems that only Tyr shares her opinion.
Dylan uses a device that Harper built to make the Mauru look like Andromeda so their attackers will shoot at it while Andromeda fires from behind. Beka concludes that she has no choice but to proceed with the plan

Review
I liked the tension between
Beka, Tyr and Dylan in this episode. It was nice to see that everyone didn't
just fit right into place.
The unknown adversary plot was
all fine and dandy but the fact that it was never explained (and still hasn't
been!) gave the impression that this episode was just an excuse to have the
Beka/Dylan clash, and a whole lot of action sequences.
I liked the insight into
Harper's past in this episode, however brief it may have been.
