What SciFi Should Get the Reboot Treatment Next?
Not long ago Wired ran their own list of which SciFi (not SyFy!) shows were in need of another go 'round in this era of the reboot. Well, it looks like many fans had their own opinions resulting in another list of reboots including everything from Firefly (please?) to The Outer Limits. Which SciFi stories could use the breath of life, and which ones might actually succeed it getting it?
It's pretty sad that people still get this wrong. It seems like a script could be written to prevent you from submitting articles when your title has such an ugly mistake.

I Robot (not iRobot) was a short story as well as a collection in which it appeared.
I hoped (not really I knew they would make crap) they would have made a movie out of the story. Novels are too long to make into movies IMHO. What we got instead was one concept from the original story (robots turning murderous) plus a lot of stuff blowing up real good. IIRC the short story lacked even one explosion or gunshot.
Have you ever actually read Tolstoy? It's OK. Nobody actually finished anything by him. They are _all_ just lying! Even the guy that wrote the 'Cliffs Notes' skipped most of it (knowing the teachers did the same 30 years earlier when they were supposed to have read it). Same as all of "whats his drunk Irish fuck"'s books.
Asimov was far superior, even if he was no great word smith like Twain or Thompson!
