In contrast and comparison to the botched "Starship Troopers", there was a surprisingly good SF Space Military series on Fox in the 1995-96 season, "Space:Above and Beyond" well worth watching for RAH fans and others. I have a DVD box set and in regards to this coming Christmas season, I'd particularly commend the 12th episode, "River of Stars" with an explicit Christmas theme AND an audio inclusion of the Apollo 8 Genesis piece.

Unfortunately, this series dies a too-early death! However it did show that Hollywood could do good SF and even good military SF! Just not often and not lately [frown]!

It was a good series and it suffered the fate of most good shows on fox, it died.
