Love the original mini-series with Marc Singer, Julie Parish, and Jane Badler, sadly the TV series that spun from it, was a bit crap.

 

Hopefully this is better with the latest effects

 

First season starts this fall with 13 episodes, 4 seasons have been commissioned, hopefully BBC or CH5 pick it up, perferably BBC.

 

 

I think it looks a bit $h!t personally. It's got impressive casting, but the CGI looks really shoddy. All the initial reviews I read were quite poor of it, but there's potential in the series and obviously it being a bit of a remake there'll be lots of interest in it. It's only a mid-season replacement though, so it'll either do really well or absolutely dreadful.

I loved the original but it was Michael Ironside who made it worth watching for me. Agreed the TV series that followed was a bit 'meh'. Just realised in that clip the heroine's son is called Tyler - Ironside's character name in the original. It looks ok to me!

I'm hoping that it's gonna be more re-boot (eg, Battlestar Galactica or Survivors), than re-make (er, Bionic Woman or Knight Rider.... :lol: :lol: :lol: ).

Juliet get your blonde arse back into the Lost thread. :angry:

Re-make of the 80's miniseries starts November 3rd.

 

Airs for 4 weeks then on hiatus until March 2010.

 

The pilot has been described as the "best pilot, forever" by E! Online.

 

The Sci-Fi Channel will be airing in the UK next year.

 

i'll be watching this.

I can't wait for this.

Looks very good, ill watch this

Interesting I can't wait.

 

It sucks America's gonna be on hiatus soon :(

I'll be watching it.

 

Although the fact that ABC are airing it for 4 weeks, then having it go on a massive hitaus really does mean they can't be expecting massive things for it, which is quite suprising imo.

If this can re-boot the old franchise even half as effectively as the re-boot of "Battlestar Galactica" did, then, it should be pretty good.....

 

I can only surmise by this short four-week run is that the first parts are kind of like a mini-series similar to the way that the original "V" was, to test the water....

 

I sincerely hope this turns out better than those absolutely TERRIBLE remakes of "Knight Rider" and "Bionic Woman"......

They've released the first 9 minutes...

I liked V :) but it was strange how the people reacted so nicely ;P

I hope it doesn't get closed down like some other TV shows :(

Looks good, I'm going to give it a shot...

i saw the first episode here in ireland on thursday night and im not sure what i think of it yet as i adored the original so if anything i think i just need to get used to this new format.

Series starts tomorrow night on Sci-fi 10pm with a double episode for UK transmission

What's this actually about? I've seen it around a bit but I don't really know what the plot is or anything :S

Frankly couldn't wait until it gets back from the hiatus. WELCOME TO THE WAR :w00t:
