| This is the so far complete list of SPACE - above and beyond pilot
and episodes. I present some remarks to each of them; besides the 86 min
pilot the episodes lasted (without advertisement of course) from 42 up
to 44 min. Because for the people which hadn't seen them (all), I will
not tell things, which are to revealing about the contents, especially
not the original title(s) of the last two. A (1) and (2) designates double
episodes, which are some sort of unit.
|
| Despite all episodes are very good, I set a * for my personal favorites (the half of all!). |
| Number | Designation (Deutsch/übersetzt) | remarks |
| 0 * | Pilot | sets the frame and the three main characters West, Vansen and Hawkes |
| 1 | The farthest Man from Home (In der Höhle des Löwen/Der am weitesten von zu Hause entfernte Mensch) | West and his girlfriend again, on Tellus! |
| 2 * | Dark Side of the Sun (Kopf oder Zahl/ Die dunkle Seite der Sonne) | Vansen: the nightmare of her |
| 3 | Mutiny (Meuterei) | Hawkes and the racialism |
| 4 * | Ray Butts (Das schwarze Loch) | presents a malevolent marine |
| 5 | The Enemy (Der unsichtbare Feind/Der Feind) | horror without any military or other sense |
| 6 | Eyes (Hexenjagd/Augen) | unscrupulous politicians and again racialism |
| 7 (1) | Hostile Visit (Das trojanische Pferd/Feindlicher Besuch) | as McQueen once said: brave or stupid, it's always hard to tell... |
| 8 (2) | Choice or Chance (Folter/Wahl oder Zufall) | Wang is badly tortured and a nasty game with West |
| 9 | Stay with the Dead (Gedenket der Toten/Warte bei den Toten) | a desperate nasty action of the 58. squadron - West in trouble |
| 10 | River of Stars (Per Anhalter durchs Weltall/Fluß der Sterne) | Wang as the rescuing person - together with an unknown... |
| 11 * | Who monitors the Birds? (Wer überwacht die Vögel?) | a retrospective of Hawkes during a fiery and hopeless, nonsensical revenge action |
| 12 | Level of Necessity (Visionen des Todes/Grad der Notwendigkeit) | Damphousse develops visions of danger - creating a danger? |
| 13 (1) * | Never no More (Abschied für immer/Niemals wieder) | Vansen loses again someone close to her... |
| 14 (2) * | The angriest Angel (Auge um Auge/Der "angriest Angel" [zornigste Engel]) | McQueen revenges a marine, murdered by a dishonorable hostile pilot (due earth pilots standards) |
| 15 * | Toy Soldiers (Der kleine Bruder/Spielzeugsoldaten) | the West brothers and a terrible mistake by an irresponsible acting marine |
| 16 | Dear Earth (Feldpost/An die Erde) | mails causing confusion among the members of 58. |
| 17 | Pearly (Ein Panzer names Pearly) | Wangs guilt feelings revisited and a strange behaving English major |
| 18 * | R & R (Bacchus/Urlaub und Erholung) | a little off-duty for the 58.: an unsual duel with Vansen on the Bacchus and Hawkes in trouble |
| 19 * | Stardust (Dead Man flying [tolles "Deutsch"!]/ Sternstaub) | the 58. is supposed to lose a dogfight (to retreat)! |
| 20 * | Sugar Dirt (Die Vergessenen/Zuckerdreck) | all dimensions of the horror of war - bowel-wrenching |
| 21 (1) * | And if ... (shortened! Begegnung der dritten Art/zu verräterischer Titel!) | the 58. meets an alien(?) |
| 22 (2) * | ... our Best (shortened again! Für immer treu!/auch zu verräterischer Titel!) | the 58. - witnessing the end of the war and therefore disintegration of the unit? |
