He is nothing but a Trump Christofascist troll on Twitter. Nobody will touch him (other than Left Behind/God’s Not Dead series). The only value he has is getting entertainingly owned by Lucy Lawless.
Regarding just Andromeda, I’m going to clip some text from wikipedia.
Controversy erupted in the midst of the second season, when series developer and executive producer Robert Hewitt Wolfe announced he had been released from the show’s production […] The reason for the change was purportedly to make the show more episodic and open to casual viewing.
And
In discussion on his website’s forums and various interviews, Wolfe has elaborated that he was released from the production staff after he refused to shift the show’s focus more heavily onto Kevin Sorbo’s character, Dylan Hunt, by essentially making all of the show’s episodes as Hunt-centric.
After that Sorbo become an executive producer on the show. The longer running plots set up by Wolfe were dropped and replaced by episodic low brow Hercules In Space stories. Looking at the quoted text above, it’s clear that’s exactly what the network wanted. Louder, dumber, and cheaper content to fill afternoon rerun time slots. Sorbo isn’t exactly an innocent actor caught up in show with a management dispute, since he was the one who ended up getting Wolfe’s job.
Because he is a complete loony extreme right-wing intolerant christian fanatic POS.
I used to like Andromeda, but now I can’t stand the sight of him as Dylan Hunt.
He got political, so if your against his politics you hate him because no one separates the art from the artist anymore. He was never really much more than a B list TV actor anyway so most people just don’t even care.
It’s completely ok to say “I really liked the thing, but I just can’t watch it because I can only see the actor behind the character”. If I found out someone punched puppies in their spare time, I would find it really hard to enjoy the things they are in. I don’t think it has to be any different with an actor who’s political stance you are vehemently against.
Honestly, the only reason I watched it despite knowing about Sorbo is that he’s just so damn goofy that I can’t take him seriously. It’s not like he actually can affect anything. Mostly he just makes shitty Christian movies. I don’t know, it somehow feels different from Kirk Cameron. Cameron feels like he’s preying on people. Sorbo just sounds like a doofus. He’s like the MyPillow guy of actors.
Like Firefly, but ruined by Kevin Sorbo (fuck that washed up POS)
I don’t like Sorbo either but him being present in the thing doesn’t make the thing bad.
Hercules is still a good show, despite his Tweets.
Did he actually ruin Andromeda, or is it more of a “he’s in it so I don’t wanna watch it now” thing?
Edit: Oh. He really did ruin the show. Well. Carry on then.
The original showrunner eventually posted how he intended the story to go. It’s a fun quick read about the better show that never got made:

Thanks for the info.
I remember the show getting worse with time, but I wasn’t enough of a fan to seek out the gossip.
Why? I mean, he looks like one, but why?

How have I never seen Xena destroying Hercules. Can you post a link to this greatness?

Man Kevin Sorbo is such a fucking douche. That was great, thanks for the entertainment!

To be fair to Kevin Sorbo, he did tank Kevin Sorbo’s career. So he’s not all bad.
Thank you, that explains a lot.

I dunno. Those may not be completely airbrushed in, but there’s certainly some contouring going on.
Yeah you’re right. Even in his prime he doesn’t had muscles on his muscles like a real demi-god.
Much like that “last man standing” guy
Dylan Hunt… Sounds like cockney rhyming slang… And it’s so appropriate.
Read his tweets: he’s a bigot, Bible-thumping, anti-trans & anti-gay, Christofacist, Trump dick-rider, MAGA retard.
Which has been are we talking about? I got distracted looking at pics of the actresses.
Sorry, not sure why Kbin didn’t correctly attribute the proper thread. I was referring to Sorbo.
