Space 2063
I now have more reasons to hate the Fox network. I can now retroactively hate Fox for canceling Space: Above and Beyond after only 1 season in 1996. Yes, I know it was 12 years ago and I didn't watch a single episode when it aired, but I feel I have the right to be pissed. I should be grateful that it got more episodes than Firefly but sorry, Fox. You still suck big donkey balls.
This weekend, my boyfriend picked up a bare-bones copy of the series from Futureshop for $20. We watched about 7 episodes and with each the show just got better and better. That's when I asked him what network it aired on. He wasn't sure. He just remembers it airing at the odd time of Sundays at 7pm. Then I read the back of the DVD box and read that this show was from the producers of The X Files. That's when I knew. That's when I had the flashbacks to TV ads for the show and remembering that I wanted to watch but could never catch a single episode because it aired on some random night before 8pm. I should have known.
The show had such great potential. Yes, there are similarities to Starship Troopers, but the cast is talented and there's no Denise Richards. The show is more about the human response to war and the camaraderie between soldiers in a unit than the evil unknown enemy. It was like Tour of Duty in space. Great, now I've got Paint It Black stuck in my head.
