Another series I’ve given some thought on rewriting is Andromeda. Though hampered by a painfully low budget and some dodgy storytelling, I felt the characterization was good and it was showing signs of improvement until Trance went gold and Robert Hewitt Wolfe was fired halfway through the 2nd season. Immediately thereafter, the show turned to hot garbage, with only a diminishing handful of quality episodes scattered throughout the rest of the series.

If I were to rewrite the series, I’d stick close to Wolfe’s original vision for the series. I’d make slight deviations (I’m not entirely sold on Wolfe’s backstory for Trance’s race/the Spirit of the Abyss), but the broad strokes would remain intact. I’d also redesign the lamer-looking aliens (the Magog, in particular).

It’s a project I’ll never tackle without the help of collaborators, anyway; I don’t have it in me to write an entire series on that scale by myself.
