I'm torn. Forbidden Planet is one of those movies that should no be touched. However, unlike most TV/film writers, JMS is a lot more appreciative of SF classics.

At best, a updated tribute to a great work of SF.

At worst, an episode of Crusade.

@ManchuCandidate: I'm in the same camp. JMS would do a fantastic job, and while I love the original, I think that if done right, this one could be a good one to remake.
