Well, I don't know about anyone else but I am quietly looking forward to this new reboot. Reviews have been a mixture of compliments on being faithful to the original (nods such as palm trees, etc) as well as comments that it's an average show.

So far, I like what I've seen. I think the 3D characters look excellent (especially Scott and John - how similar they are to their originals!) and I like what they've done with the ships.

Some of the changes have baffled me, however. Why did they mess with the hair colours? It's really weird to see John as a redhead!

The show premieres here in the UK at 5pm and I will be in front of my TV, waiting with patience and an open mind.

Also, I'll be looking forward to seeing who is older - John or Virgil Wink

Just a little sketch I did yesterday/today. John as a redhead?!

Now that is NICE! I can deal with John as a ginger. I'm just upset that Jeff isn't in the new show!

ETA: I've heard Virgil is 3rd in line while John is 2nd. Daria is really p.o'd about that!

There have been rumours that Jeff is supposed to appear in later a series. Apparently they wanted to give the brothers time to shine without taking orders from Dad. I hope Jeff does reappear. And I guess I can deal with John not being the middle kid any longer.
