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.

    The big problem with “Lost” is that many in the writer’s room (and the showrunners themselves) were raging racist assholes who decided to steer the show toward all the white characters, which meant changing a lot of their early plans.

      You know what the ultimate payoff for Lost would have been for me? If at the very end of the show, you just panned across the island and you see the dad from the beginning that they dropped from the show for daring to be black and he yells, “WALT!” It would have made as much sense as everything else and at least it would have been funny.
