Thanks guys! This keeps the forum nice and neat.
the biggest problem about doing remakes, is that things are now MUCH more expensive.. (producer thinking "what can we get away with, without paying huge commission to the originals??" )
sorry guys, the target audience is teens today, not those who *were* teens when the series came out....
being a ST:TOS fan, the prequel/remake of that was so different, you could just change the name, and a few set pieces, and you would think it was some OTHER film, and ST fans would not know, and even like it!!!
Not even duct tape can fix stupid. But it can muffle the noise.

for those who dont know or bother to find it... It does bother me that some will not even click a link.: ( : (
Blakes 7 is set in a 'dictatorship' where 'convicts' manage to escape, and find a very advanced ship (can repair itself, has 'teleport' that no-one else has, and an intelligent computer) that somehow accepts them.. I guess it was on the way to a 'shop' so open to a 'new customer' ???
This is the main feature, and the dynamic of the criminals characters - always good to have one try to steal something, while the other gets their revenge!!
serenity comes close, but the problem is the distributors seem to be frightened of any thing to gritty... even star trek was about to miss, until someone said it was like 'wagon train'...

My brother's Path of the Fury uses a similar idea - and tosses in a genuine Classical Greek Fury as well.
(Do not read the expanded version, in Fury Born, until after you have read "Path" {if then}, which, in my opinion - and that of a fair number of others - is far superior to the expansion, which has many of the usual problems of heavily retconned fiction..)

Farscape is a bit different... 'convict crew' yes, but the ship is one of many, and he is a space engineer, who develops 'warp drive' and cannot find his way back!! further complicated by crashing into an alien fighter, so he is being chased, then 'rescued' by that ship...
