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.

    Buck Rogers would be a cool one to reboot; plus it already has the " we’re going to trash the world " backstory.

      I don’t think that’s NBC though. NBC does own Flash Gordon I think. Or at least they keep trying to make Flash Gordon happen.
