Got three words for you: Chiggy Von Richtofen.

Great show. Too bad it ended on that cliffhanger. And yeah -- the idea that the military would spend all that time and money training these guys to fly only to have them spend 3/4 of their time as infantry... that never made much sense.

My favorite show of all time.. that, Nowhere Man, Enterprise, and Harsh Realm are my saddest losses of all time

The one thing that always bugged me about that show was that you had these hotshot Marine Aviators (never call them pilots) and most of the time they were serving as ground-pounding infantry grunts.

Chesty ... what the reply.

This would have made for a great companion to BSG on the Sci Fi Channel. I miss that show.

I loved Space: A&B! It was really terrific. I think my favorite episode is when one of the cadets was on a mission on a Chig planet and he and whoever else he was with (can't recall if it was another cadet or an alien or what) had to be silent the entire episode. The only dialog for the entire hour was at the beginning and at the end (if I remember correctly!). It was so well done. Really suspenseful.

CHIGS!!!!!

Oh yea ... to the person who submitted the question ... the show is available on DVD: http://www.amazon.com/Space-Above-Beyond-Enríquez-Alcalá/dp/B000BCCAEQ/

This show suffered the curse of being on FOX ... the ADD network who has zero patience, which thinks that if a show doesn't have 89% marketshare before the first episode airs, that it is a failure.

I really wish someone would revive that show, it was riveting. I remember one of the last episodes had them capturing one of the alien enemies. They had to build a glass/clear box to put him in because the aliens breathed a different atmosphere. As they were interrogating the alien to find out why they were always trying to kill humans, it came out that the aliens had actually evolved on Earth waaaay before the humans ever came close to coming into existence. That was a monkey wrench in the works that made a compelling storyline even better and then the show was gone! I still want to know more about that, damnit!!!
