Hi all,

Space 1999 remains one of my all time favourite series , at least Season 1. Theres a new website up where another die-hard fan has remastered the original series and has some interesting thoughts on continuity etc . There are next millenium "adverts " for each episode too. Really worth checking out. A labour of love for this guy and his crew . Apologies if anyone has posted this before .

That site was great. Unfortunately, the studio made them take down their videos (copyright infringement and stuff). Some of the remade trailers are on YouTube. Search Space:2009 and they'll pull up. Good stuff. A lot of the "glitches" which drove the die-hard fanbase crazy were corrected. Also, in the remade epis, the pace was sped up a bit for today's ADHD audiences.

I'd rather have an outright remake than stomach the tampering that was done to the original episodes on that website.

I think a remake could work. However, it ought to be a total rewrite. The main thing I'd change myself would be to get rid of the whole idea of the moon bogging off on some pan-galactic, faster than light, tourist trip. Would be a lot more believable if it were just a large space ship of some sort.

Then it would be a remake of Lost in Space, not Space:1999.
