YES. I can't wait to see what they do with it! And it's filming this fall, in Scotland!!!
*Nods* I'd heard the same rumors about the Academy show, but I'd always figured it'd never work, same reason you cited. A movie... is possible, but I still think it'd be iffy. There's just so much potential for people to misunderstand, think it's a kids movie or something... I don't know. I'd vote that the go with something a bit more general, but hey - if they find a good way to do it, I'm interested to see what comes.
Wouldn't that be hilarious? I'd just die of laughter. And I was going to say in my original post that I wanted to see the original actors in cameo roles, preferably as far off from their usual parts as possible... but then I realized that pretty much no matter what they did with Walter Koenig, it'd leave me snickering about Bester. :D
