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.

I'm indifferent.

My care about BSG died when they ended the last reboot with them salivating over finding tribals they could fuck and use as breeding stock.

If you combined the last reboot with Esmail's mindfuckery, it would be spectacular. IDK why anyone would be against another run.

Esmail isn't the showrunner though, he's only producing it. So I'm less optimistic than you are.

Everything has happened before, and everything will happen again.

Love this show they can reboot 100 times!

Why should you or I be for or against it to begin with? I don't quite understand.

We can predict success or failure, but as to whether the company ought to spend it's money that way, I don't see much value in chiming in.
