Hello,

I suppose they'll need to rename it...

I also suppose I should read the article to find out...

If there's to be a manned lunar base, shouldn't there be a manned space program somewhere?

But we did have a manned space program.... in 1999.

The makers can't just revamp the old show and have them using technology from 13 years ago.

Alt-Universe!

Seriously, how bad could it be. Big CRT monitors, cellphones with antenas sticking out, $1/gal gasoline. Wait, Baldur's Gate 2 didn't exist yet. Crap.

In the original the acting was wooden and the scientific basis non-existent. Not Sci-Fi, but Sci-Fantasy pretending to be Sci-Fi. Why reboot this turkey?

Hello,

There is an entry for Space: 2099 in wikipedia that suggests this may not be what we think it is...

It's a 'face lift' to the original series!
Cool....

Man, I carried such a torch for Sandra Benes! However, my love affair with the show was short lived. Even though I was in my early teens, I knew after the first couple of episodes of season 2 that it was done. And because it was so trendy, it was instantly dated.

We'll see what becomes of this. How about a more plausible premise this time? *snort*
