One could say that's what happened with the new Battlestar Galactica
series, but I actually like the new interpretation better. I would
expect a new project for UFO to be a fast paced, suspense thriller,
possibly set in the present.

I would hope that a re-make of UFO would not have as drastic the
character changes of Battlestar.

This is a side note, but does anyone remember a poseable action
figure called, "Action Jackson?" It was an 8" doll and is dressed
like the interceptor pilots from UFO. At least that is my
recollection of it. There are some available on ebay. Does anyone
know if that product had any relation to UFO?
