Well, if the BSG (which was part sky1 funded) remake has anything to go by, I reckon its going to be far more post-911 kind of plot traits.
Terrorism, Guantanamo bay references, etc. It could be something really relevant if they take an original twist to it, like they did with BSG.
I'm just cynical that any remake would work, particularly where the original isn't deeply flawed. That's not to say remakes don't sometimes work.
