Yeah...SPACE: 1999 was...not good. Had some great effects and the second season was something of an improvement...but bleh. Then again the original BATTLESTAR GALACTICA was pretty awful and look what Ron Moore was able to do in the reboot. So maybe someone could pull something similar with SPACE. They just have to figure out how to make the silly basic premise work. Hey here's a thought: does the moon have to breakaway? Why can't the new show just be adventures set on Moonbase Alpha still in orbit around the Earth??

But you know what the truly sad part about all this is? In 1975 we could imagine having a base on the moon by 1999. Here in 2012 we can't imagine having one until almost a hundred years from now. SIGH!

(I would make a joke wondering if a certain presidential candidate would guest-star in the new series...but don't want the thread to veer into hateful politics)
