Time for a Reboot!

I agree. I would love to have it done again. or just restarted, with the same characters (different actors of course) but just start it up again. I remember loving this show. I was 15 at the time, and it was when this got cancelled that my Dad gave me the name of "Kiss of Death"... meaning that if I loved a show it was doomed to get cancelled.

Creative, different shows never last. The networks are too greedy, some people done't have the intelligence to watch a series, and some people just can't give a show the chance to warm up with the storyline (not every show starts off with a bang... it needs time to develop)

I miss my shows... what is there to watch taht is actual scifi (not syfy)?

There is a show in pre-production right now called "incursion" which sounds like it's an updated version of SA:AB.

It was already rebooted. It's called Battestar Galactica. Which I like save for Ron Moore's overextended character development crapfest.

Humans are slow to pick up so here's a puppet show.

III. Differences from the original series:

1. The deepened focus on the relationship between Nathan West and Shane Vansen - Outside of their duties as members within the “Wildcards” of the 58th US Marine Corps space fighter squadron, Nathan and Shane fall in love. This is triggered due to both of them having lost significant others whom they thought had been devoted to their whole lives - Nathan to Kylen Celina as Shane to John Oakes. This side story is inspired by the relationships between the following couples:

- Domon Kasshu & Rain Mikamura (“G Gundam”)

- Hikaru Ichijo & Misa Hayase (“Macross”)

- Kira Yamato & Lacus Clyne (“Gundam SEED”)

- Susumu Kodai & Yuki Mori (“Yamato”)

2. “If not just with weapons, conquer their minds with manipulation” - Besides military hardware (e.g. F/A-18 Hornet fighter-bombers, Hammerhead space jet fighters, the USS Saratoga battle carrier, basic infantry weapons), the “Wildcards” also start a band of their own. They use rock music to manipulate the minds of Chigs and Silicates. Their musical genre focus is on Alternative, Classic, Nu-Metal, and New Wave Rock to name a few.
