Space 1999 to be Remade/ Rebooted?

[C.E. Evans]

There is already a remake in the works. It's called Space: 2099.

This is an old thread (it was actually dead for over a year-and-half before someone resurrected it this week).

The initial post in this thread was indeed about the Space: 2099 remake by ITV you're referring to.

I saw some pictures posted here a few months ago which purported to be the new rebooted Eagles and one other craft I didn't recognize. They looked pretty cool!

Prof. Bergman is probably a woman named Victoria Bergman now, Alan Carter is a black guy, Commander Koenig is a hardline militarist who's constantly fighting with the civilian Dr. Helena Russell.

For the purposes of aggravating what may be your nightmares, may the role of Alan Carter be cast with an indigenous Australian. Perhaps one of the Koori?

I suppose you could set it on an asteroid or moon of Jupiter, Saturn etc that gets knocked out of orbit?

Well you would still be stuck with the question of how it was traveling to other solar systems at super light speeds and then passing other planets at sub light speeds, so I don't see how that would be an improvement.

I probably shouldn't comment since I have never seen Space 1999.

Maybe a Dark Energy bomb--something that sets off a small scale version of whatever is accelerating our universe faster and faster. The field is manipulated by a gravity intensifier that allow 1g inside the moonbase. I got nothing beyond that.

It was inexplicable, unfathomable higher alien powers. Worked first time around.

The greatest space opera show ever. I really don't see the point of remaking it.

I originally proposed on this board the idea of alien tech buried on the moon. I was shot down for being cliche. I went back and reimagined the cause being human FTL experiment going wrong. FTL interacts with the gravity field of the moon and transport the entire body to another part of the Galaxy. One of the series arcs would be figuring out where the FTL problem went wrong, how to fix the problem, how to navigate the moon and how to get back home.
