What SciFi Should Get the Reboot Treatment Next?

Not long ago Wired ran their own list of which SciFi (not SyFy!) shows were in need of another go 'round in this era of the reboot. Well, it looks like many fans had their own opinions resulting in another list of reboots including everything from Firefly (please?) to The Outer Limits. Which SciFi stories could use the breath of life, and which ones might actually succeed it getting it?

I agree on the sentiment...

But it was inside a Computer, not a game console. The "User" just happened to like playing the occasional game.

I believe they said it out right in an episode, plus one day they were all impatiently waiting for a new upgrade.

Then again I could be wrong.

Fun series. They continued via a Comic a little later, but I hadn't heard of a revitalization.

B5: Crusade

I always wanted to see this series completed. never happened. and the series had issues, like the music, and the main actor was Mr. Brady from the Brady Bunch movies, but it had potential until TNT execs tried to turn it into "Wrestlemania/Sexromp in Space"... ironically, SyFy channel has since been plagued by the meme of the same execs. :)

The entire run of Max Headroom is available for torrent via dapcentral.org if you're unable to wait.

umm, it is on DVD (I'm seeing non-US format, but that's easy to get around)

Re:Why Firefly? Here's why...

Agreed, un-kill Wash and Shepard Book. Although, honestly, a 7 year run could take place in the intervening year between the end of the series and movie. Not sure a sane genius class River would improve a continued show any.

Miranda is easy to accept, though. She's not a planet that's forgotten or overlooked, not a perturbation on plots or anything. She was a young colony that was still new to people's minds. Mal even knew "terraforming didn't take or somesuch". She was publicly known to be a failure, and even the mangnitude of the failure was known. The nature of the failure was the only unknown.

Human history is filled with similar misdirected failures.

That's Vancouver, BC, thank you very much.

The only Star Wars movie that didn't suck, The Empire Strikes Back, was written by a woman named Leigh Brackett.

This show is a sit com in which Schrodenger's cat was explained.

The reason most sci-fi tanks is that it's so poorly done.

B5 is one of my all-time favorite TV shows, and I've been introducing my fiancee to it. Half-way through S1 right now, and a lot of the storylines really do hold up. Sure, the CGI is dated, and the acting is a bit stilted (but does get better), but the stories are still superior to a lot on TV today.
