To tell the truth, I hated the old and the new BG. The original one
was just plain dumb and the second one was boring as h**l. So it
scares me to think of what could happen with a so-called remake of UFO
or a utilization of the series ideas a la Mission: Impossible - sorry
- but Tom Cruise and his movies didn't bring alive to me the series at
all and I hated the very idea that Jim Phelps could be made into a BAD
guy. That was just plain series assassination. Most remakes of series
and movies are crap it seems (look at that HORRIBLE miniseries based
on the sequel to Gone With the Wind - I'm sure Margaret Mitchell was
rolling over in her grave...) and the movie version of Lost In Space
was no better than BG. I, Robot at least made little attempt to copy
the original story by Asimov and did not really bill itself that way
either. In the final analysis, part of me would never even bother
watching a UFO remake and I have NO intention of watching the Star
Trek movie in the making with Kirk and Spock at StarFleet Academy -
sometimes it's just better to leave the original alone and enjoy it
for what it was. Pam the Canuck
