    Starlost.. that would be great to see again.

    Anything to stick it to Ellison, also it was a great part of my childhood.

    Somethings are better left behind in childhood.

    I agree with Who.  Starlost is best left to childhood, or dvd viewing.  A movie of the original book might be good though.

    Hard to say.  If done right, it might turn out all eight.  The original BSG was pretty wretched stuff too, and they made a pretty good remake out of it.

    It is an interesting concept - a group of people discover their world is really on of hundreds of self-contained environments on a huge spaceship; they start exploring - but very difficult to pull off for a long period of time.

    I read on a website somewhere that the original concept for Starlost would have made for an awesome show.  But by the time it came to actual production, budget cuts, change of writers etc, all ended up making into the god-awful mess it was.  But I agree with Rustydog that if done properly it could be a great show.  Seriously, who thought BSG would go from a campy 70's groan-fest to the great show it is today?

    I know I have linked to that website before (can't remember if it was on this board or another, too lazy to search for it). Yup, great concept, poor execution. For some reason, the one episode that mostly comes to my mind, is the one where the guys are on what looks like a giant crystal radio, trying to complete/fix some circuitry, to prevent some disaster from happening (IIRC). LOL! Who is right, better left to memory.
