Space Above and Beyond: Gone But Not Forgotten

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

One thing you'll notice about the shows we cover here at Gone But Not Forgotten – many of them are from Fox. In fact, not only are they from Fox, but in most cases, they were critically acclaimed, with huge cult followings, but also were prematurely canceled. Some were lucky enough to find another network (Sliders), some even got a second season (Dark Angel, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles), but many like Firefly and this week's show, Space: Above and Beyond were one and done.  

The brainchild of X-Files writers Glen Morgan and James Wong, Space: Above and Beyond was a military/action show depicting a future war against an alien race known as the Chigs. It focuses on a group of Marines called "The Wildcards", led by Kristen Cloke's Capt. Shane Vansen, with other leads including cult fave Rodney Rowland as Cooper Hawkes, Morgan Weisser as Nathan West, and more. Join us as we dig into this nineties favorite and try to figure out why Fox was so quick to cancel so many cool shows!
