Quotes
Lt. Col. Tyrus Cassius "TC" McQueen: The dim glow falling upon the dried blood of Union brothers in the Manassas eve still guides our path. Constellations, hidden by fierce Pacific storms in the Bataan sky remain obscured by rain. The stars - a billion for every life laid down in Vietnam - still shine on us and will guide those who follow.

Q
How would the series have ended had it continued?
A
According to remarks and interviews made by members of the cast and crew and internet leaks these are some of the rumoured storyline ideas for the series if it had continued:- It would be revealed that Wang died at the end of the first season.The producers toyed with the idea of having him rescued by the same model of AI which had previously tortured him but eventually decided to just kill him off, not least because of the actor's public disatisfaction with the storyline. Vansen and Damphouse would both survive and return to the unit. The massive offensive launched by Earth forces would be a failure, the war would continue and the 58th would find themselves court-martialled for leaking information to the enemy warning them of the attack. However their punishment would be simply being sent back to the front where their skills are desperately needed.- Colonel McQueen would be crippled and spend time on Earth, seeing how the conflict has affected humanity and being helped to recover by his ex-wife. McQueen would return with an artificial limb but a new female commander would take over the Wildcards; She would be unpopular with everyone except Vansen.-One story was rumoured to feature Vansen and Damphouse working as slave girls in the Baachus resort glimpsed in 'R&R' but it is uncertain how serious this idea was especially given that Kristen Cloke who played Vansen married writer/producer Glen Morgan.- In the final few episodes Earth would make peace with the Chigs but the treaty would prove highly controversial with elements on both sides attempting to thwart it. The series would end with the surviving marines drinking a toast to their lost loves and comrades.
