That's great to hear that they've signed up to do a show! As a fan of the original BG, I must say that I very much enjoy the new one. I think the differences between the two are part of the reason they didn't say it was a remake as much as a 're-envisioning'.
And yah, Six of Twelve, Seven of Nine, it's aaaaaall good.
Either that or I'm just starved for Sci-fi epics. Sci-Fi Channel movie of the week aside.
