hmmm…
I haven’t seen the tv version yet, so I can’t give it the thumbs up or down.
Reading the comments here a few warning bells are starting to ring in my simple head.
Two of the most successful sci-fi computer games of all time were called Star Control I & II. The first and second games were huge hits and had a fantastic and original sci-fi background story. It developed a massive cult following. Anyway, cutting it short, the makers, Fred Ford and Paul Reiche, were excluded from Accolades Star Control III. Star Control III was the biggest flop in Accolades gaming history. The moral is simple, that without the original creators, it lacks the originality that made it successful in the first place.
Still from the sound of it, the tv series is pretty damn good.
