Re:Is Space: Above and Beyond geezer worthy?

[size=24]YES!!![/size]

Well-differentiated main characters, some of whom actually [i]die[/i], deep-set political and corporate corruption on par with B-5, good guys with flaws, bad guys with depth, several levels of prejudice explored in a non-preachy way between the treatment of the biologically created slaves, the Invitros, and the self-aware AI race who became programmed for rebellion when introduced with a computer virus which said simply “Take a chance”, not to mention the barely-contained explosive energy of James Morrison’s Lt Col McQueen.

Also, it’s one of those shows in which everything finally becomes clear in the final episode, but it completely turns your view of the series upside-down. Not on par with the Prisoner, but I think clearly one of the best Sci-Fi series endings.

R Lee Ermey and Coolio made guest appearances, and French Stewart has a startlingly good dramatic role as a psychologically tormented MIA in an early ep.
