I am personally against it despite Sam Esmail’s involvement (I really liked Mr. Robot). It’s not that I don’t think it could be a good show, it’s that NBC has plenty of other properties from former science fiction shows they could redevelop, but they’re redeveloping this one instead.
If they want to reboot a show for the third time, why not V considering the first reboot was so disappointing? Or maybe go for the 90s nostalgia and reboot SeaQuest DSV or Earth 2.
And then there’s all the Sci-Fi Channel/SyFy properties they have at least some stake of ownership in.
I realize asking for something original is asking too much these days, but can’t we at least do something other than Battlestar Galactica every 20 years?
I’m willing to be open-minded and give the show a chance if it gets produced, but I don’t think it should be produced in the first place.
“As of this moment, we are at war”
The miniseries was at the peak of what is achievable in sci-fi IMO. The follow up with “33” just cemented it.
While watching it at the time the later seasons faltered, I rewatched it all just over a year ago and it flows better as a binge despite some of the shortcomings.
All of this is to say I don’t think a reboot is necessary but I’m keeping a hopeful, open mind.
Just finished a rewatch. Definitely not as good as I remember it.
That poor left Viper always landing crazy!
Fair enough. Did you watch it as it was airing originally?
I ask because I felt the writers strike really hampered it at the time. Just felt like it lost a lot of momentum that I thought it retained on a rewatch.
I did. I memed the so say we all and everything on deadeddit. It definitely was the latter seasons that I don’t think held up as well. Seemed like it meandered.
Ah it definitely did meander. Totally agree there. I just felt it was less meander-y on a rewatch. I watched all the web series in with the rewatch and they helped too I thought.
