Good News, it seems. Thanks for the info. I loved SAAB and have been hoping for a DVD set for a while now. Millenium was decent and I watched it quite a bit. Most of that was due to lack of anything better on, though. Never got a chance to see Harsh Realm, but I'll give it a look when I get my SAAB collection. Now if they'll only put out a Brimstone collection...

SAAB and Firefly... Does FOX have something against really good sci-fi series or something?

I wouldn't quite call the last episode of S:AAB a cliffhanger mainly because it resolved the main story arc (West and his girlfriend). The last scene was classy to me. Very bittersweet.

It did leave a few unanswered questions, now that I think about it. Dang it, I miss that show. Gorram FOX....

I wasn't a dedicated Millenium fan, but I did enjoy the episodes that I managed to catch.

According to a line West said at the end, the war was about to get really intense. Damn Fox. Space was only gonna get better.

I loved that show. It was refreshing to see a "space" show that took a more human approach to the storytelling. Of course, Firefly did the same thing. Anyway, I'd gladly buy Space on DVD to put alongside Firefly. I wanna see that episode with Coolio again. And I remember being blown away by that Chig super ship with Abandon All Hope written on the side. That was just so cool, I thought.

Oh and I loved the way that guy (it's been a long time, I don't remember his name) would order, "Get that thing outta my sky!"

Just looked up TC McQueen's name: it's James Morrison. OMG, the show ran in 1995. Nine years ago, folks. OMG (oops, just said that . . .)

Anyone know if Space Above and Beyond is available in widescreen?

All I know is that when the season finale aired I could not wait for the new season to see what happened to Wang as the troop carrier spun out of control with him firing away at Chigs. I wanted to know what happened to Vansen & Damphousse as they fell into the atmosphere. Sure it was great that West was reunited w/ his girlfriend, but the way it ended, it was obvious that they intended to show another season.

From what I read on the internet around the time Sci Fi started airing the first season, rumors had it that Fox had unaired episodes from season 2 they refused to air or release to Sci Fi Channel. Never had time to research or follow fan sites at the time to see what was being done.

"May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one."

If I'm remembering right, a Chig fighter rammed the cargo module and blew up. I'll have to break out my set and find out.

Yep, there isn't any doubt that Wang bought it in the last episode. A Chig fighter went one on one with him and got damaged then crashed into Wang's module with a pretty big explosion.

Oh, you had to tell me that didn't you?

I'm now compelled to spend the next few hours (or days) researching that. I'll let you know if I find anything.

Gorram FOX!!!

Bittersweet is an understatement, I remember West was so distraught about his friends he could barely bring himself to look at her

Millenium was pretty good, but I really liked Harsh Realm.

" Thats not fair !!!!
I didn't even have a soul when I did that!"

From 20th Century Fox's Peter Staddon:

"Millenium and Harsh realm will be out on DVD this year. The first season of millennium is some of the finest TV ever produced - in my humble opinion - and I'm glad we can finally bring it out on DVD".

"Space A&B might be out in the not too distant future"

Space: Above & Beyond and Harsh Realm coming to DVD is know dought due to the success of Firefly on DVD.




Ok, SAAB on DVD I'll get. That show kicked serious ass It'll fit in nicely with my "Firefly" and "Stargate SG-1" DVD sets I never saw "Harsh Realm" I don't even have a clue what it's about. It was probably a great show, too. I imagine it must've been since Fox only keeps dreck and drivel in it's lineup for longer than a season...

"Millenium" never interested me, although I've been a Lance Henriksen fan for years
