I found this article on io9 explaining a bit about SyFy's plans for a reboot of the movie/TV series Alien Nation. I rather enjoyed the movie and followed the series with interest, though not dedication. SyFy has gotten Tim Minear (Angel, Firefly, Dollhouse) to do the writing (with a team, I am sure).
Though the article doesn't mention it, I actually find the current series, The Unusuals to be a great buddy-cop series, especially since it follows three sets of cop-buddies.
I think what interests me the most about Alien Nation is to see what sort of look they give it. BSG was great drama, sure, but the setting and effects really cemented the sense of reality the series was trying to convey. So I'm curious how the sense of an enormous alien spacecraft crashing on earth and then integrating the ships slave crew into modern society is going to feel, ya know?
