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 last reboot was so well casted, acted, scored, written, and is even more culturally relevant now then when it came out.
It’s a hell of a pipe dream to imagine making something better at this point.
It won’t be hard beat the last season or two.
As an example, you see a lot of high-budget TV and movie productions scored by Bear McCreary nowadays. The dude made his chops with BSG, and has done a ton of work since.
Black Sails was glorious
