…Show Is on Hold "It's been a while since we've heard any updates about the Galaxy Quest television show—par for the course, given how it's been in the works for years, with the series intended to be streamed by Amazon. Writer Paul Scheer has revealed the show isn't in active development right now because of internal problems at Paramount TV, but promises that it's still going to happen. Last year, Scheer announced that he was joining a planned adaptation of Galaxy Quest—based on the 1999 sci-fi cult comedy starring Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, and Alan Rickman. The series would blend the original cast with new characters, diving into modern fandom and the popularization of genre fiction. It's an interesting concept, but sadly, in an interview with The Wrap, Scheer confirmed that Galaxy Quest's production is "in a little bit of a hold pattern" because of issues within Paramount TV—specifically, the June firing of now-former Paramount TV president Amy Powell over reportedly making "racially charged comments."…."

Not what I wanted to hear, but it's what we've grown accustomed to for years from our Studio execs. They were probably stuck bickering over having Allen and Weaver swap roles, to please the femtroopers, or perhaps some other equally idiotic PC move to overcompensate for scandals. In 20 years they'll again try to bring it to the screen (in name only*, of course), it will flop, and they will wonder where all the hardcore fans went. Once again, another missed opportunity. I've given up. I surrender. Dan
* Their re-imagined version at that point will feel nothing like it should. They'll once again suck all the joy out of nostalgia. |

Careful what you wish for. Old favourites are sometimes best left alone. |

I believe no less a man than Sean Connery taught us to never say "Never". |
