How do you reboot a series that got everything right? That's a daunting task. Farscape was a deliriously delicious descent into madness; Firefly was just gorram perfect (and *so many hot women* my god...Christina Hendricks shows up as a guest star and doesn't even stand out. ...wat.), and Babylon 5 was from the get-go a five year shebang. I didn't see Space Above and Beyond, but if it belongs with those other three, I may need to.

But, how do you follow on something like that? It seems that Stargate is a much better thing to reboot, since even the people who remember it fondly don't get too rabid about it, so there's room for difference without disappointment.

Also, unless I misread this is a movie reboot, not a tv series reboot, so think less Star Trek: The Next Generation and more Total Recall. Which is a shame because every time Hollywood screws up a Phillip Dick story another piece of my soul dies v_v Man I ramble a lot when I'm tired.

A Stargate trilogy? Hell yeah, I'm up for it! Hopefully they won't fuck this up :D

I need to get the DVDs so I can sit down and actually watch it sequentially. Got FarScape DVDs a few years ago and had absolutely no regrets.

From what I understand PKD's heirs screwed up renewing the copyright, which is why those were done at all.

New Star Wars movies are on their way. The Star Wars prequels never happened...you're imagining terrible things.
I agree that they were perfect, but soon we will have 4K TV and the SD broadcasts of those shows are starting to show their age even on my 1080p set. Space Above and Beyond was a decent Sci-Fi show, but it was only given 1 year by Fox, and if memory serves it ended in a big cliffhanger. You'd be better off not watching Space Above and Beyond or you will be bitching about Fox for the next 20 years.

Not sure how i feel about it i have like three copies of the original movie in different types and i love to watch it but i hate how most directors and writers take great stories and content and just destroy it with the "vision" they have.

Love the series even more so if they can keep to what they know and dont blow it i may crawl out of my cave and watch it in a theater /cringe but will have to see how it goes.

Thanks for the heads up by the way!

S:A&B was....mediocre, at best. Shoddy writing, terribad clichés and characters (The Asian guy complained about that, and almost walked off the studio lot). It had a couple decent schticks going for it, but....on the whole, you're looking at ST:VOY rather than Firefly.

It's worth watching once, if you can get hold of it cheap, or free, but paying $50 for a boxset? No.
DEATH TO ALL CHIGS!

As for the ending, I'll not spoil it too much, except to say, it was less a cliffhanger than they knew it was getting cancelled, and left room for a sequel/continuance should one be granted...sort of.

Not sure how to feel about it, I'm a big fan of SG-1 and Atlantis but always thought the movie was average at best, hope that the new ones will be based (at least partially) on the series and it would be more than just a dumb action filled movie.

Fun concept that I had been vaguely daydreaming about before the film existed (but who didn't ever go "what if the pyramids were spaceships" - except that, in my imagination, the Matterhorn was one too, stuck in the ices).

The film turned out a very boring derivative colonial exotic army-squad-fires-at-angry-natives flick. Nothing felt very specific in the whole film. There would have more spectific directions to explore, instead of doing it a generic war movie.

I guess the series expanded a bit on it (though I couldn't watch it because of that nothing-is-a-problem-i'm-always-cool-and-funny mcgyver lead), but still, I see the whole universe as a missed opportunity for more what-if-ancient-astronauts delirium.

Re-taking the concept from the roots is not a bad idea, but I still expect it to be turned into yet another Aliens remake. Again.

I guess I'm in the minority in this thread but I loved the original movie, but am biased as Kurt Russell is one of my favorite actors.

Tried to get into the series several time never could, and don't quite understand the different TV versions and their point.

Its a shot in the dark whether the reboot. It will be good or at least entertaining.
Also, not having read anything about it, is it a true reboot, or is it a continuation from the original movie
like Indpendence day is suppose to be?
