Scene from the episode "The Angriest Angel" of the SF series "Space - Above And Beyond", one of the best series ever made. Too bad FOX cancelled it... :(
I watched this show religiously every week. I remember the end of 1996 waiting on news about the 2nd season, and being crushed when I found out it had been cancelled. Great show.
Yes i remember that time too hoping for a second season. I also remember emailing the Fox or someone on the show from my compuserve account at that time to say how much I loved the show
McQueen gets back to the ship, and exiting his cockpit and walks back to his room; that's the moment that no words could express - all you can say to yourself is "Wow!". Few series can effectively evoke this feeling, but yet this TV series nails it here.
" I don't think our maker wants to hear from me right now. Because he know I'm going to go out in this plane and I'm going to remove one of His creations from His universe. And when I get back, I'm going to drink a bottle of scotch as if it was Chiggy Von Richtofen's blood and celebrate his death." - Lt. Col. Tyrus Cassius "TC" McQueen
My favorite part was when the Capt said "Tye I'll be a son of a bitch if I attend your funeral" & he responded "that may be sir, but we'll talk about your mother when I get back."..
One of the best episodes in a very underrated series. The title and the way scenes developed are a nod to ancient Greek literature, rare and amazing for a tv sci fi series.
I loved this series, sucked it ended so fast. This dogfight above all others in any genre is truly a timeless classic and one of the most epic dogfights ever created for any series.
@@mikemoore2791 "Was he feel8ng Gs... in space... like a jet in atmosphere..." I think a little physics education might be in order for you. 🤣 ...I agree about the steering wheel though.
When the 58 brush aside the deck crew to prep their CO, I choke. Every. Single. Time. A simple piece of stage direction that speaks volumes of the loyalty and honour of the unit. In my mind, The *best* military sci-fi ever made.
The Firefly befor Firefly. Above and Beyond fell down towards the end but what a trip to get there and this is easily one of the best episode. I love the talk McQueen and the Priest have before he launches.
If you watch the episode prior and this episode, it's pretty much a feature length movie that just oozes badassness. This clip is just the tip of the surface of this episode arch. The best moments are also before he jumps into his fighter and after when he returns. Truly, this show was ahead of it's time as you can see with the success of BSG a few years ago.
i think the best example of it being ahead of it's time was how much it was a very short version of babylon 5. b5 took the long way around while space had to go short because of fox killing all of it's good shows. they killed so many that could have been some of the best series on tv, just for viewership being low while so many great shows being on tv at the time.
Well, if you consider that many shows now only go for like 8-12 episodes then this show actually had two or three seasons by today's standards. At least that's what I tell myself :)
Considering how bad his damage was from the Pilot episode, I think it was indeed sheer badassery that kept him from failing. He refused to fail, therefore he didn't fail.
That would be amazing. I remember the cliff hanger this left off at when the carrier went behind the moon and came out the other side as wreckage right before Operation Roundhammer.
@@BlueonGoldZ That's not where it left off as I recall it. McQueen was taken to a Med-Ewac after the explosion when they interrogated the Chig. Vansen and Damphousse where falling towards a planet surface in the broken-off cockpit of a transport, Damphousse unconcious, the dumped cargo-bay that Wang was in had been shot up, West and Hawkes where in the quarters staring at the empty bunks of their, presumably, fallen mates after returning from escorting the civilian PoW's after the original escort where shot down after the negotiations exploded.. That scene you're describing, should be ep. 21 "Sugar Dirt", followed by the 2-parter "And if they lay us down to rest" where the "Wildcards" encountered the caretaker, and "Tell our moms we did our best" where they ended the series.
Priest : In times of war we must all make peace with our maker. Lt. Col. Tyrus Cassius "TC" McQueen : Well, I don't think our maker wants to hear from me right now. Because he know I'm going to go out in this plane and I'm going to remove one of His creations from His universe. And when I get back, I'm going to drink a bottle of scotch as if it was Chiggy Von Richtofen's blood and celebrate his death. Priest : Amen.
There were a lot of issues. I liked it because it not only dealt with the war against the Chigs but also dealt with a lot of the shadiness going on within the Earth government and Aerotech concerning the war. When the Chig Ambassador dropped the bombshell that they had warned Aerotech numerous times not to encroach on their space highlighted just how much the war could have been avoided and how much Aerotech and those in power, who were former execs, had to lose if that info got out.
I always enjoyed this show but this scene made me want to know more about the chigs and why they would take up a earth military ideal like painting sayings on the side of their ships
@@martinthomas1293 They had been studying human broadcasts and were in contact with the rogue AIs. They thought it would cause fear in their opponents.
I'm late to this. But wasn't it pointed out the colonies were nowhere near chig space. And given the fiendishly good intelligence the chips had, they were well aware that much of their concers about aerotech was unauthorized and would get them into a lot of trouble during peace if caught. The chips were just being zenophobic.
TV stations don't cancel shows, viewers canceled it. You don't produce that which no one will buy. It's a real life world we live in, not a fairy tale.
Now this is sci fi! Loved this show and loved James Morrison’s character. I was quite shocked to see him on NCIS this past week as well as the Orville.😳 And holy moly he still looks great!😁
@@shootybaking I've seen the actress playing Vansen in a few other things, but no major roles. Also the captain of the Saratoge I seem to recall having seen somewhere else, but most seems not not have been overly successful after S,aaB ended.
Chiggy Von Ritchoffen V McQueen is by far my favorite sci fi fight from my childhood years. Wish they had made more of this show, it was so good for what it was at it's time. I use the "Abandon all hope" on any game that lets me do customization on that level. Yet another show strangled to death by asshole FoX execs.
I loved this show so so much and was gutted when it was canceled, just another great show like Fire Fly that ended before it's time. If it was made now it would be brought back to a streaming service.
Best part of this. He kept firing his main gun even though it was ineffective. Just taunting Chiggy, saying you'd be dead ten times over without that armor.
There are so many things I like about this series. One of the biggest was the simple fact that there's no major differences between the male and female Marine Corps uniforms. Same headgear, same jacket, same pants.
For any any of those wondering why he needed help entering the cockpit, he needed to have an inner ear surgery undone in order to allow him to fly. I love this show. It was sad that it was cancelled BUT they were given warning and were allowed to wrap up the season and the main storylines, albeit a bit rushed at about half way through the show. I still remember sitting down to watch the pilot with the family in 95. Never missed an episode.
When someone’s begging for an old school ass whoopin an old school ass whooper has got to come out of retirement and show the kids how it’s done. Here’s to Col McQueen strapping his big iron on once again
Best TV show ever, Glen Morgan and James Wong are living legends! Hope they return to TV again soon together to create another SCIFI. Their pal Vince Gilligan (fellow X-Files alumni) is doing great with his Breaking Bad, but the sky is the limit with these two top guns and as a bonus we'd have the occasional Darin Morgan story. S:AAB is truly something special.
On Earth, if you eject, you land. In space, if you eject, you fly away with speed of your craft at the moment of ejection and die from suffocation... P.S. Btw, if you are human fighting against programmatically controlled enemy craft (aka drone), you die instantly.
weaver snoopy and his sopwith camel doghouse "flew" against the red baron throughout the peanuts comic strip series...I always hoped he shot him down finally...
You know everytime I hear that Fox is coming out with a new sci-fi series I think "Well it probably will be pretty good too bad it will only last a season or two" I honestly don't understand their reasons for even commissioning a new one.
@@Knightfang1 Not impressed with the way disney totally trashes established cannon rules in shows either. They milk them out for every last penny they can, and that is just as bad as anything Fox did.
I remember when there was a rally to boost the viewer #’s of this show. I thought it was interesting. For decades I have been trying to remember the name of it & here it is. Thank you. I remember some very bizarre, very original content from this series.
I still remember the adversaries name they gave it was "Chiggi-von Richthofen"... the marines considered that alien their version of the Red Baron. This series ended way before it's time, but this was just the beginning of FOX getting rid of all their great shows (including "Family Guy" later) in favor of what the suits at FOX wanted.
This is one of those series that they should bring back. With the right writers, actors and updated CGI this could potentially be amazing. This was a science fiction series from a very different angle then most of the other shows of its time. It focussed on the lives of soldiers, and what it's like to be on the front lines of an alien war. Truly amazing and I hope one day it will get a sequel it deserves, as the war at the end of the show continued.
so funny you're writing yesterday - i'm just learning about this show too - (mostly bc of comments about the expanse which i prefer) but this is so good! one season : 24 eps rad! It felt real campy like starship troopers in the beginning but now the characters are way developed especially for the 90s..idk. This episode tho--- holy crap (ep 16 "Angriest Angel") the last words of the ep are the best -- wish the OP put them in this vid
i'm watching 2 eps a day for the first time. was kind of a snooze..then it got good...now i'm here saying this is the best episode holy shit! (spoiler ... so it's downhill from here? that's a drag hahah
Commodore Ross.."I'll be a son of a bitch if I come to your funeral Ty!"..McQueen.."Yes sir you will....but we'll talk about your mother when I get back!"
I remember watching this story arc and afterwards I kept asking myself what was the whole point of sending dozens of fighters to find and destroy this ace pilot when all they needed was McQueen!!!!
One of the best scenes from a show that got the ax way too soon. Too close to reality for for the powers that were? Either way, Space: Above and Beyond left us with a cliffhanger. Above and Beyond what? ST:D and the entire current Stat Trek offering of shows, for sure.
*also liked the episode that included the Johnny Cash song Ring of Fire where a pilot played the song as he entered a black hole...think the episode episode ended with the Patsy Kline song I go walking after midnight...simply a beautiful episode overall*
My personal opinion is they brought too much Christianity into the show and the powers that be hate that and trying to wipe that out of TV and Netflix unless it’s to put it in a bad light.
It's been my long experience that the better, the more groundbreaking a show is, the less likely it is to survive more than a season or two. Industry execs are fine at pumping out nominal content, but they are completely clueless at recognizing true greatness.
It's called centrifugal force. Something belonging to physics which also exist in space. The same that pilots today experience, if they do a sharp turn with high speed and thus are exposed to 5-9g, a multiple of the normal gravitation. (g=9,81 m/s²) In simple words: it's that, what makes your roller coaster ride enjoyable.
centrifugal force is a false force according to my physics teacher. what it actually is called is centripetal acceleration. any time you change a direction you feel acceleration force in the opposite direction of change. in a car when you step on it you move back in the seat and when you stomp the brake you head for the windshield. the faster the change the greater the force you feel which is mass times delta v which gives pounds of force acting on an object
I watched every single episode of this and to me this was the new version of Battlestar Galactica from when I was a kid I was so fucking pissed when Fox decided to cancel the show
I watched this show religiously every week. I remember the end of 1996 waiting on news about the 2nd season, and being crushed when I found out it had been cancelled. Great show.
Yes i remember that time too hoping for a second season. I also remember emailing the Fox or someone on the show from my compuserve account at that time to say how much I loved the show
I vote reboot
Yeah, it was a good one
Set up for Battlestar Galactica reboot. They look a lot alike
As I recall, it was preempted every other week when football games ran long. It's no wonder the thing couldn't build an audience.
McQueen gets back to the ship, and exiting his cockpit and walks back to his room; that's the moment that no words could express - all you can say to yourself is "Wow!". Few series can effectively evoke this feeling, but yet this TV series nails it here.

In my mind, The *best* military sci-fi ever made.
I joined the USMC a year after this show went off the air. It had something to do with it...
The only TV military sci-fi that evoked the Fog of War.
It didn't take too many episodes to realize that combat vets had a lot of input in the writing of the show
The Firefly befor Firefly. Above and Beyond fell down towards the end but what a trip to get there and this is easily one of the best episode. I love the talk McQueen and the Priest have before he launches.

One of my favourites. Truly a shame they ended it so early. This show helped me through some hard times back in the day.
Agree...
if 'space above and beyond' was just streaming, they would have a hard time cancelling this gem of a series
I would not object to a reboot of this. Well, maybe a continuation.

No sir!
I am your roadmap!
"Abandon All Hope" was such a great, respectable advisory. I still remember them all these years later.
Should do a reboot. Series died before its story was finished
This is a show that needs to come back but I doubt it ever will.

There are so many things I like about this series. One of the biggest was the simple fact that there's no major differences between the male and female Marine Corps uniforms. Same headgear, same jacket, same pants.

it was EPIC, i still think about this segment
it was one of the best made, really good. Still love a StarFury but I'll take a Hammerhead second.

The review of the gun camera footage from this dogfight probably became part of the curriculum at the Naval Academy.
If I can't have B5 Starfury, my Sci-Fi fighter of choice would be the Hammerhead.
Why? It got a CD player!
I don't think I've seen the modular cockpic capsule of the Hammerheads anywhere else, either.
Starfury also have modular cockpit, even though it's only separated as an ejection capsule.
Dr Galactose
Point, even if not quite I meant. Original BSG's Vipers had something similar, with the nose section coming off as an escape pod as well.
On Earth, if you eject, you land. In space, if you eject, you fly away with speed of your craft at the moment of ejection and die from suffocation...

This show raised me!
Great show
I love watching the show what it got canceled have no idea
One of my favorite series and a good cast.
Great great show!
Such a short fight but so intense, especially when I watched it the first time it was shown on UK TV.
0:57 for an excellent salute!
It's called centrifugal force. Something belonging to physics which also exist in space.
The same that pilots today experience, if they do a sharp turn with high speed and thus are exposed to 5-9g, a multiple of the normal gravitation. (g=9,81 m/s²)
In simple words: it's that, what makes your roller coaster ride enjoyable.
centrifugal force is a false force according to my physics teacher. what it actually is called is centripetal acceleration. any time you change a direction you feel acceleration force in the opposite direction of change. in a car when you step on it you move back in the seat and when you stomp the brake you head for the windshield. the faster the change the greater the force you feel which is mass times delta v which gives pounds of force acting on an object
I watched every single episode of this and to me this was the new version of Battlestar Galactica from when I was a kid I was so fucking pissed when Fox decided to cancel the show
Fuckin love this show! Nipple necks for life.
the show ended too soon. Like most good sci-fi
Awesome.
