In the far future 4 travelers crash on a ring around a sun in a distant system. Shall be interesting to see how they depict the Puppeteers."

    It's about time some one makes this. Too bad it really needs to be on an IMAX though.

    "As long as they keep the whole sex bit out of the series"

    dont worry. I am gathering that the 'Sci-Fi' channel is american so you wont see anything but precious precious violence.

    As long as they keep the whole sex bit out of the series, it should be very cool miniseries

    True. Goodness knows that we shouldn't think of sex as part of normal human behavior, so it should never be depicted, nor even talked about in polite company, especially around the children (We MUST Protect the Children!). And then once we perfect in vitro fetilization and artificial gestation, there's no reason to have that disgusting sex whatsoever.
