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.

    Oh I agree with you, I’m just saying if they must reboot an NBC property, there are other science fiction properties they own that they could go with instead.

    And that doesn’t even go into all the Universal science fiction movies. If they must make a TV show based on their properties, let’s see what a good showrunner could do with The Thing or They Live or The Last Starfighter.
