One remake I'm glad to see

First of all, it's Alien Nation, one of the great under-rated shows, I think, and secondly, it's Tim Minear! Yes, *that* Tim FREAKING Minear (he of the strange middle name!)

Given how Minear can "find the darkness", this could be a really gritty take on this - and very topical too.

A new webcomic - for me, at least

I just discovered Runners, which is (to quote the site) about:
"Intergalactic smuggling isn't easy when you're hounded by pirates, bounty hunters, police, and the occasional conscience ...

RUNNERS, the critically-acclaimed sci-fi adventure series by writer/artist Sean Wang, chronicles the misadventures of reluctant smuggler Roka Nostaco and his ragtag alien crew as they struggle to complete hazardous runs through outlaw space and against all odds."

As Revolution Science Fiction says, it has a very Firefly feel about it. Damn good read though, at least as far as I have read.
