Is there anyone out there who might be able to make an mp3 of the theme song to this show? I can't find one ANYWHERE. Winmx, Kazaalite, google.com altavista.com. It's impossible.
Thanks
Andrew

Shouldn't this be in General SF? Also, it might help if you included useful info like who composed the theme. Have you researched whether any sort of soundtrack album was ever released? If no, then that's going to lessen your chances, and maybe leave you having to put up with a low-quality recording taken from a TV broadcast or VHS, which I think the sole season was released on. . .

I have a few episodes of SAaB lying around, so if you're interested, I could extract the audio stream and convert it to mp3 format. Just gimme a location to upload the theme to. Posted by Topher (Member # 71) on :

Oops - sorry for putting it in the wrong section.
Um - that would be great Cartman - but what do you mean by a location - an e-mail addy? Wouldn't the file be too large?
How else can you do file transfers?

He meant webspace.
Posted by E. Cartman (Member # 256) on :
Hmm. Source quality is mediocre at best, so I haven't castrated the .wav file any further. Download here (right-click, then select Save Target As).

Ooh - thankyou.
That's not a bad theme. Too bad they cancelled the show.
Y'know sometimes I wonder if some of these cancelled shows could come back. I mean can anyone think of anything those 7? actors are doing now??
Same with Crusade.

If only there was some sort of database of movies and TV shows that had listings of actors and what they have been in and will be in.
Curse the world.

Oh I've never seen this site before.
*a few idle searches later*
"Brad Dourif Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, The (2002) .... Gr�ma Wormtongue"
I bloody thought I recognised him! He always plays the creepy psychopathic types.

Any volunteers to tell him about that, uh, online auctions site thing?
Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
Or that crazy book store that's, like, a jungle or something. Dude.

Careful, don't encourage him to search around too much, he might find that site with all the naked women.
Posted by AndrewR (Member # 44) on :
What would he SEARCH with?
Posted by Vogon Poet (Member # 393) on :
I don't know, maybe if somebody developed a website that let you type in certain keywords and then find you sites which pertain to them, that might help. You could call it a "search engine," perhaps.

Am I the only one who didn't really like this show? Who scoffed at the implausibility of it all? Who ridiculed every technological inconsistency? Who nitpicked at the whole faux-military feel to the whole thing?
Sure, it was a nice enough drama, and it looked really purdy, but PUH-LEEZE...

Well, Mark, you can take solace in the fact that not a whole lot of people tuned in.

Mark: "Technological inconsistency"
Yes, no teleportation, no shields, no warp, no replicators, no hyperspace, no Force, no androids. Just ordinary fighter jets with pressure-sealed cabins, short-range missiles and lasers, which dock in a space-faring battleship/carrier that's fighting a losing war.
I can't imagine what little improbability nugget you've picked up on that can outdo the shit Star Trek and Star Wars has pulled.
Invitro fertilization? Yes, that stuff is, like, Year 10000!!! ;-)
Faux-military? It's way better than "Starship Troopers", if there will be a spacefaring earth navy in the 2100's, this is what I'd want it to be like.
And the artistical quality of it, same as Millennium and X-Files, muyo bueno. And they used Lightwave for FX, just like Babsi-5, so the CGI evolutionized over time. Mmm...
Does anyone know if you can buy SAaB on DVD anywhere? I always regretted missing the pilot, that shit was 90 minutes of Fox-budget heaven!
Posted by Nimrod Pimding (Member # 205) on :
And the space battles were so fluid, no damn "dampening fields" here. Like the Bab-5 Starfuries, the Hammerheads were flexible and fast. The dogfight between McQueen and the Chig superfighter in "The Angriest Angel", that was good stoeghf.

Yes androids. Remember the AI Wars? Take a chance? Them ridiculous crosshair contact lenses?
Yes hyperspace, or some unexplained form of FTL travel. In the first episode there was mention of catching a wormhole and how tough it was, but therafter the ships seems perfectly able to get wherever they wanted to, whenever they wanted to.

Hell, no. So-called "fighter pilots" who were also expertly trained for infantry, tunnel ratting, spec ops, and a multitude of ships and vehicles? And who regularly swapped between these roles? I think not. At least in Troopers they STAYED troopers. Fleet had the planes and ships. The only thing they shared was a silly plot.

I've always said it looks really pretty. No argument there.
