Lots of good suggestions. Can't argue with any of them.
My one for the producers table though... Cos that's essentially what we are playing here (And I think people should start pitching WHY the show would be brought back. As bad as the reasons were they were all cancelled for a reason.)
Space: Above and Beyond (Reboot)
15 years after the climactic cliffhanger the Wildcards have a new line-up.
McQueen is on the verge of retiring and passing the baton to the next commander of the Wildcards.
The tense peace that was attained in the interim between its cancellation and reboot is shattered in the pilot of the new series as the Chigs launch a new strike against the UEF.
The 58th are called to lead a catastrophic counter-offensive and will be led by a Wildcard who served in the first Chig war.
Over the series arc the 58th will be posted aboard the Saratoga and conduct major frontline missions "In space, on land and at sea"
Airing on SyFy and aimed at the demographic that enjoyed the new naturalistic sci-fi and I see it as Vietnam in space.
It wouldn't be as dark as Galactica or SG:U but wouldn't be light-hearted either.
Our intitial statement would be as defining as R.D Moores statement from the BSG bible.
I ask you fellow escapists... Does that interest you or just the straight "Bring back Firefly"
