Boromir rocks. And so does Tyr Anasazi. Totally agree with you on the Dylan Hunt hate.
Merry and Pippin are actually responsible adults in The Books. At least Merry is, as Pippin isn't of age yet. But not even he is such an idiot comic relief as in the movies.
Re: Andromeda fanfic Well, aside from the obvious (tries to look modest and fails miserably), I would recommend you The Recreation of the Warrior (http://www.anzwers.org/free/andromeda/fanfic/Mandyfic/warrior1.html) by Kit Mason. It's a great fic, with lots of Nietzschean cultural background, I think you'll like it.
The gratutious het scenes get a little boring sometimes, but you can always skip them. I also recommend browsing the website it's posted to, "Andromeda Uncovered". There are some interesting stories there, although no other that would be half this good,IMO.
Forget to add: Where men named Rhade are concerned, I vastly prever the original, Gaheris. Steve Bacic is a decent enough actor, I've seen it in many different roles - not an overwhelmingly genial one, but good, solid average. Rhade as a character would have needed a concept to begin with - I don't think the writers really knew what they wanted to do with him.
