I'm looking forward to it. Yes, it's dumb they are going for the third reboot but at least it kind of fits the existing story for it to all happen again. An Earth2 reboot would be awesome and I would be a lot more happy with that. New IP would be even better, but also probably have a higher chance of not being good or finding an audience. I just hope the new show makes it for a full run even if it's not great. I'm so sick of shows that die after the first season or two.
I want to know why Earth 2 went down the memory hole. Was I just looking at it through rose-tinted glasses and it was actually awful or something? I thought the worldbuilding alone made it a good watch.
It wasn't awful, it was just hapless. It probably would have gotten its sea legs in a second season.
Sad story: the actress who played the little girl died a day after her honeymoon and 8 days before her 22nd birthday, from a heart attack. (She'd had a heart transplant when she was 15.)
That’s so sad. She was great on the show, even holding her own alongside the legendary Tim Curry.
I actually rewatched it a few years ago and it wasn't awful.
If they’re gonna reboot Earth 2 they also should reboot Space: Above & Beyond
I was enjoying the hell out of that show until they ran out of money and decided that since they were "Marines" they didn't have to fly their ships anymore.
