Roughnecks: Starship Trooper Chronicles

Post Reply New Topic

Has anyone seen this show before? It only has one season, which is rather unfortunate, although it's on Youtube, http://www.youtube.com/show?p=rzDK6m3Ji ... er=show_av . I'm wondering, did anyone else like the show and if there were to be a remake of it using better technology than back in the '90s do you think it could have more of a chance than it did before? I rank this show with Firefly amongst those that were cut short and cancelled before their proper time, does anyone else?

I remember watching this show when I was like 8 or 9. I saw the first movie when I was 11 and it scared the crap out of me and I had horrible nightmares.

I was afraid to watch it again. Then I turned 17 and watched it again and wasn't so scared.

As far as I know, the Animated Series never got a touch-up and the entire franchise was continued by the Fans. I really wish they'd re-do the entire series with modern technology though, it'd be awesome

I have the series on DVD. It's one of my favorites and much truer to Heinlein than the movies. I pray that there's a special place in hell for whoever cancelled the show BEFORE they finished the Earth campaign!

What I'd like to see is an update/conversion into a Action/Adventure game. It would be a great 3rd person, squad based tactical shooter, and they could easily adapt the show scripts for missions.

I remember this show, i really liked it back then and thought it was next to transformers: beast wars, some great 3D but im not sure i would think the same way of it.

it somehow always reminded me of Space: above and beyond... don't know many know that short lived show....
