The premis is awesome and if you compare the book to the film there is more of a world to explore. Could get pretty damn depressing though. Hope to see more with the porcelain dolls stuff from the book. I will check it out. The premis is awesome and if you compare the book to the film there is more of a world to explore.

I have read the book. I enjoyed it very much. A television series based on the book might be interesting. My two cents worth was about the film and the addition of the Human Project. I know full well that the tv show will be based on the BOOK. And that the movie and book were very much different. I'll watch if Katie Sackhoff is apart and if her character's name just so happens to be Kara Thrace... I'm not one to skepticize, but I'm questioning the comment from Ron Moore. Anyone can link to scifi.com/bsg That's all well and fine. I have a hard time believing its the real RDM. I need proof before I believe that RDM would criticize Eick's Bionic Woman.

I know I'll be the subject of ridicule, but I actually enjoyed the modernizing of Bionic Woman. Granted, the thread with her little sister got saccharine at times, but I think the things that people complain about (violence, nanotech, etc.) are things that gave it strength. I was listening to a local interview this week with the creator of the original Bionic Woman back in the 70s (as well as Alien Nation, and V) and he despised the violence and lack of "lighthearted humor" in the show. I think a lot of us look back on those old shows as way too campy (goofy retarded lizards in V, or drinking sour milk and eating dead beaver in Alien Nation are both excellent examples, not to mention the g-damn Bionic Dog!) I saw the violence inherent in the modern BW reflected the world we live in now with the war on terror and all... Just my two cents. =1 Hello, Ron, much love for the BSG from me…

It's obvious that no one here has read the book because if the TV show is to bring Children of Men back to it's roots, then it will be nothing like the movie at all. I like the movie, but the society in the movie will be the focus (much like the book) which I thought was more of a backdrop of the movie (which I was disappointed in it becoming the whole fleeing and fighting throughout the movie).

BSG already deals with the posobility of humanity ending, and there is still a LOT more to explore in a series like C.O.M. - however as most point out: you need great writing. And that is yet to be determined of the writers behind the new series.

One of the best things about Children of Men was the gritty, realistic feel to it, which was refreshing in a world of slick sci-fi films. I can't see a television adaptation working well if it isn't as arresting as the film. The only way this could work is if it had the same visual style of the film.

The movie was beyond stunning, and I think in years to come will be seen as 2001 is today. Granted, tv spinoffs invariably suck when the movie is good, (and as Stargate: Franchise 1 & 2 will confirm, usually the spinoff is much better when the movie is iffy or crap.)
