However late (like "several years late"), let's pause for a moment of silence for this show.
For those familiar, this show aired on Philippine free TV about the same time when "Let's Go" was ruling Sunday morning cartoons. It chronicled the missions of the Roughnecks, an infantry unit tasked to eradicate the "Bugs", an alien race similar to insects which is bent on eradicating humanity.
The show got cancelled however and it took me several years before I chanced upon a Youtube user who uploaded almost all of the episodes on the website.
The history of the show was replete with misfortune. Because of production cuts and less-than-stellar viewership, the show had to cut off several episodes, including the finale.
The irony was that the show was actually pretty good. For its time, its CGI effects were amazing. The storyline was tight. The characters were memorable.
But life can be unfair at times. So rest in peace, roughnecks.
