Buck Rogers
When I was little, in addition to Star Trek, I really liked Buck Rogers, the tv show starring Gil Gerard and Erin Gray.
Buck Rogers is a military pilot who gets accidentally launched through time and wakes up in the future.
It was only on for a couple of seasons but it left a mark with me. My most memorable episode was the Space Vampire episode.
I found this cool website that allows me to re-watch these full episodes.
I heard rumours of a Buck Rogers movie. I think Jennifer Connelly would make a great Col. Wilma Deering, but she might be a little older now.
Maybe Natalie Portman but I don't think she possesses the sex appeal and toughness of that of Erin Gray. Kate Bekinsale was convincing as vampire hunter, Anna Velerious.
Anyone but Jessica Alba...
As for Buck Rogers, Christian Bale would be perrrrfect!

I watched that show when I was a kid as well. I remember Twinkie :) I don't think Jennifer Connelly is too old to play her, I think she's just mid-to-late 30s, which seems about right for what Erin Gray was at the time.
