Brothermidnight said...: I couldn't agree with you more on this one. I wouldn't mind seeing a new version of space precinct either.; December 9, 2012 at 6:59 AM
Kal said...: Space Precinct - now there was a craptacular series that is best left forgotten.; December 9, 2012 at 7:05 AM
Simon B said...: If someone with the vision and intelligence of the producers of the BSG remake got hold of it, it might work. But then, season 2 of the original Space: 1999 was essentially a "reboot" of the show - trying to copy Star Trek and failing miserably. Perhaps it's best to leave well alone and ( shock! hooror! ) come up with an original idea...; December 9, 2012 at 10:59 AM
Simon B said...: Of course, I meant to say "horror!" but "hooror" looks kind of cool, too...; December 9, 2012 at 11:00 AM
david_b said...: What an interesting concept.., to reimage this show. First off, the 1st season will always be my favorite show ever. Period.

How to reimage..? Would you set it back in 1999...? That would be an interesting twist for purists, despite the fact it was 13yrs ago. Hmmmm.

As long as they stayed true to the original theme and atmosphere Sylvia Anderson created. Yes it was much more her than Gerry. Sylvia woule NOT have allowed Fred Freiberger near it, she was a visionary.

No stupid wild fighter pilots or dysfunctional relationships, please.; December 9, 2012 at 6:42 PM
Kal said...: If they did it in the vein of Stargate Universe then I approve. I loved that series but it only got a few seasons too. But worth trip.; December 10, 2012 at 4:37 AM

Calvin's Canadian Cave Of Cool Manifesto

I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.

I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.

I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.

And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.

So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.

Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.

This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.
