If you've never seen it, then you need to buy it. If they every made a SW TV show about an X-wing squadron, I'd want it to be just like this show.

Pancakes, man. Easy as pancakes.

That actor recently played a General on "Over There" and I was all "IT'S PANCAKES!!!!"

The wife thought I was crazy.

FOX? They cancel all the shows people like. I am amazed the X-Files made it 9 seasons.

It aired during the 5th season of X-files I think and it was on Fox.

This is not the first discussion of Space: Above and Beyond to make it to our Jibbery-est of forums.

This show was excellent. I liked the way it ended. Some of the cast actually went on to do other stuff. I remember seeing the chinese guy in some other tv series, but I forgot which.

X'an, I know you will remember...what show was it?

Just the opening lines of the show before the credits each week are enough to make you want to watch it:
We thought we were alone. We believed the universe was ours. Until one night in 2063, on a Earth colony 16 light-years away, they struck. Now we're at war. We fight when called, in space, on land, and at sea. To lose this war means more than defeat; to surrender is to never go home. All of us must rise to the call... above and beyond.

You know him from Law and Order...I don't think he's done a ton of movies.

"Chicago" is now the department's tech-nerd on Law and Order, SVU if memory serves.

He has some bit parts in episodes where guys try and get girls/boys over the internets or use spy cams in toilets.

did this have alien ground troops that looked like a dark green or grey (maybe black) that were humanoid, with odd eyeless heads? or maybe these were like biomech suits? Did they also have like a knob on their chest or back?
