KAMN Show #16: Space: Above and Beyond
Welcome to Show #16!
The feature topic for this show is Space: Above and Beyond, a military scifi show created by X-Files writers Glenn Morgan and James Wong for Fox Network, and likely one of the first victims of Fox Network’s habit of early killings of scifi shows with potential.
First up, The Ninjas bring you a special treat for Show 16 — an interview with Joel de la Fuente, one of the stars of Space: Above and Beyond (technical difficulties notwithstanding).
Next, Summer, Joe and David delve into a lengthy discussion about Space: Above and Beyond… let the opinions and factoids fly.

Wow it was really cool that Joel was able to lend his take on the show. And I would have to agree they had too many irons in the fire, and the show would have been better recived if they saved the chig conflict for later.
Kristen was my favorite on the show, but then again I’ve been a fan of her’s since I saw her on Silk Stockings.
I think there might be a prob with the “download” link. Usually when I click “to save target as” I get to download the mp3, but this time around it’s attempting to download the html…which is hard to listen to.
Snap with the download problem.
Hm… I just tried clicking the link to download, and doing the “Save link as”, and they both came up with the correct file.
Is the problem still happening for you two now?
Great episode. I really loved SAAB when it was first on. What a shame they had only 1 season. I totally agree that having marine pilots acting as grunts was a little hard to accept at first. When you got past that it was actually a cool show. Loved the cameos by David Duchovny and Ashelyn Gere. This show could of gone to some interesting places. Most of the actors later appeared in the X-Files, Millennium and other shows. Even though it’s very unlikely some kind of reunion show/movie would be awesome. How funny is the picture of B5 in the DVD menu?
One thing that always cracked me up about this show was the episode (or was there more than one) where you had the pilots doing the ground pounder thing. You spend millions (pilots cost a lot to train) to make them pilots and then you put them into an infantry role? Sorry, no…
