#SPACE ABOVE AND BEYOND SARATOGA SERIES#

And while I did watch and review about half the series, I wasnвЂ™t able to watch the entire series run again. It was so long ago that I remember the last time I watched the series it was recorded from TV on VHS! But back at the end of 2013 I decided to sit down and watch the show again and review all the episodes leading up to the showвЂ™s 20th anniversary this September 24. ItвЂ™s probably been a good 15 years since the last time I sat down and watched the whole SAaB TV series. Set in the year 2063 where space travel is common, the world is at peace and human beings can be created wholly inside a lab, SAaB follows a group of Marine Corps recruits whoвЂ™ve joined up for various reasons to follow a girl to the stars, to stay out of jail, out of a sense of familial dutyвЂ¦В But when an alien race known as the вЂњChigsвЂќ begins attacking Earth colonies across the galaxy, and beating our forces badly, these recruits are thrown into the battle to try and stop the alien advances.ДЄnd thatвЂ™s what most of SAaB is about, this galactic war, the people caught up in the conflict and their losses.

What wasnвЂ™t there to be excited about from a sci-fi geek like me? Shane Vansen (Kristen Cloke) and Nathan West (Morgan Weisser) consider their futures And those two would be the producers and lead writers on SAaB. And other than The X-Files series creator Chris Carter the two people most responsible for the look and direction for that show at that time were writers Glen Morgan and James Wong.

Back then, the series The X-Files was one of the biggest and most exciting things on television and was riding a creative high to boot. I was excited about the TV series Space: Above and Beyond ( SaAB) from the moment I first heard about it in 1995.
