Hail Satan!
I agree wih you regarding the idea of a remake. If it were a REALLY different angle on some of the characters and themes, that would whet my interest much more. I have to say that the reports of the 2004 pilot made it sound as if the people behind it were bringing some genuinely fresh material and ideas to the subject matter.
If it were a remake, it would invite comparison with the original, and I just don't think it's a good idea. How do you equal something that was so magical in the first place, with such an extraordinary cast?
I also don't agree with KLS that the scripts of DS are like Shakespeare, and we could see just anybody playing those roles.
OK, I feel a rant coming on, so it's time for me to stop.
