Coolio did indeed show up in Space: Above and Beyond and it's as weird and wonderful as you'd hope for it to be.

Glen, James. Is there any way you can get the powers to be to release Space: Above and Beyond online? It seems like a great show and I'd love to watch it someday.

Space: Above and Beyond SABB The SA-43 Endo/Exo-Atmospheric Attack Jet ("Hammerhead") is the main-stay of the Marine Corps. Their SCRAM engines enable them to fly in an atmosphere and in the almost complete vacuum of space. Following in the modular design of aircraft of the late 20th century, Hammerheads can be adapted for normal combat, search and rescue, and possibly other missions. The canopies of the craft are also detachable allowing docking with space platforms. Systems that are known to exist in the Hammerheads include LIDAR (Laser Infrared Detection And Ranging), HUD (Heads-Up Display) and ODP (Optical Disk Playback). The 58th Squadron, also known as the "Wild Cards" is a United States Marine Corps Space Aviator Cavalry squadron, assigned to the 5th Wing. The 58th was formed in 2063, from recruits who graduated from the United States Marine Corps Space Aviator Recruitment Depot in Loxley, Alabama. The newly formed 58th were vital in delaying a Chig fleet from attacking Earth until reinforcements arrived from Groombridge-34. The 58th Squadron, assigned to the carrier USS SARATOGA were on the forefront of several major battles in the Chig War * Triva: Full-scale models of the "Hammerhead" fighters used in the series were created in Australia at RAAF Base Williamtown. An unverified report stated that, while they were being stored on board the freighter before shipping, crewmen from a Russian freighter were caught taking pictures of them after mistakenly thinking they were a new kind of advanced U.S. tactical fighter.

Special Interests

Thought I’d make a space here to talk about special interests. There are things I can talk about for hours, and when my head is in that space I really struggle to focus on anything else. I have a bunch of them, and a bunch that I had when I was younger and the whole being-a-responsible-adult thing kinda forbade me from pursuing them much any more. I’ve forgotten much of what I once knew about those things but welcome anyone to ask or tell me stuff about those things and rekindle my joy. This post is for anyone who wants to talk about this stuff in general, or who wants to send me a message or ask but doesn’t know what to say.

Special interests of yore (stuff I’ve forgotten a lot about but still love):

Star Trek Space: Above and Beyond Lord of the Rings

Present and being-a-responsible-adult special interests (stuff I could tell you heaps about if you want):

Birds! Budgeting Minimalism Mental health (mostly depression, ADHD & ASD due to personal relevance) Not quite special interests but stuff I love and will happily talk about:

D&D Warhammer 40K Digital art Photography

Full stop I think if you go out of your way to by definition gaslight and beat around the bush with someone you know is low functioning in the skull and has been very forthcoming about being a system with no information despite being asked again and again about strange treatment while you're this old then you should dropbox your will and kick the chair because clearly theres no fixing that one.

#Mine #I'll delete this later I'm just beyond amazed. #I've worked really hard to bridge the gaps but I cannot do everything by myself and I feel really fucking guilty about that. #But I don't think anybody can. It's not how this works and in accepting that it just has to be respected. #And understood when I say I'm not above holding people I share a space with accountable. But I cannot fucking do that if I never know.

Space: Above and Beyond (1995-96) is somewhat of a forgotten show and sometimes I feel like it gets the short end of the stick in today's society because liberals hate it because it glorifies the Marines, has a distinctly US-based patriotic flavour, and depicts liberal politicians as corrupt, whereas conservatives hate it because of its inescapable anti-racist and anti-fascist commentary, its criticism of the military-industrial complex, and its depiction of the ugliest sides of war.

I kinda love it though. It is a difficult show to watch, touching on heavy topics, and there is a lot of violence and death in it in pretty much every episode. I normally dislike violence in TV or movies but something about how it is depicted in this show I love. It doesn't shy away from showing all the different aspects of violence, from the dehumanization of the enemy (both how it is cultivated in military culture and in how it plays out on the battlefield), to PTSD from survivors, to grief from those who lose loved ones.

Another thing that actual war veterans have told me is unrealistic about most TV and movie depiction of war, is how it is depicted as much neater and clearer than it is. Veterans have told me that two things are consistently omitted from TV and movies: on the one hand, just how much waiting and boredom there is in the military, and how this occupies the overwhelming majority of time. And then, on the other hand, how in actual combat it can be completely overwhelming and it happens so fast and you have no idea what is going on, pure chaos. Even if aspects of the show are still unrealistic, this show seems to nail both of these key aspects and I have seen veterans praising it online on both counts. Most of the show is shot from the perspective of soldiers on the ground and you never see a more complete picture than they see, and more often than not, they are confused and overwhelmed, and their communications get knocked out much of the time too.

Last night we watched the episode Who Observes the Birds which is kinda wild as a work of art, it aired in 1996, and it's a sci-fi episode that has almost dialogue in it entirely. It's basically one character in enemy territory getting shot at and struggling to survive, and it has a bunch of flashbacks that give him backstory.

It also is just brutally moving emotionally like you see this moment of empathy when this guy has been shot at, and then he's waiting and he sees this beautiful alien bird fly overhead. And then this enemy soldier walks into sight and he has this straight line of sight to shoot him, and he's about to do it, and then he sees the enemy soldier get distracted by the same beautiful bird and stop and look up at it as it soars overhead and he can't do it and it's just like gut-wrenching.

The whole episode is packed with this, like there are a bunch of different interactions that span the full range from dehumanization of the enemy to fleeting moments of empathy, and you also see that the guy also starts hallucinating when he is alone in the war zone too long.

This show is not for the faint of hearted, it has a lot of graphic violence and it will definitely ruffle some feathers no matter where you are on the political spectrum, but if you want to see some sci-fi that has good character development and gives a more realistic take on the ugly aspects of war, I can't recommend this show enough. And of course like so many good shows it was cancelled after one season.

one thing i’ve been thinking about is the claiming/not claiming experiences in fiction thing and the necessity of empathy or writing the stories of people profoundly like unlike ourselves without laying claim to specific experiences. but also one thing i find is that my /own/ specific experience, my community’s, they aren’t monolithic in any way or something i could write down as This is /ME/, but that when i write profoundly different settings and characters shards and aspects of that experience pop up in the strangest places. there’s little shards of my home town every where i go. i think it’s really important to avoid that form of writerly solipsism which places physical and embodied personal experiences and understandings as the universals of everyone everywhere, so i don’t want it to be that, but it is especially interesting to me as i expand my writing especially in fantasy and sci fi locations what it is that has that resonance 

#skinning my knees on volcanic rocks goes into a space age fic. touching snow for the first time out of the back of a pickup truck #the psychology of a small town in the middle of nowhere goes into a fic set in a country i've never lived in #the feeling of dry air if you've grown up somewhere with 99% humidity #i really like above all fiction with a strong sense of place or community so maybe it's that #i also think too it's interesting to think of in the vein of trying to expand beyond the kind of white christian anglo-american gaze #because obviously everyone who is /not/ that is not a monolith #but at the same time if we are removing this lens that asks for universal translatability THROUGH that gaze as relatability #i think there #s these opportunities for broader cross cultural connections and that's a really fascinating area
