Since this is science fiction, they got the Quantum Leap and Star Trekking part right. But, "putting right what once went wrong?" Frak that. This time Scott Bakula is back with a skinjob vengeance -- putting humans in cages that once went free. He'd probably do some freaky science experiments on them, too.
Why it works:
The chemistry between Bakula and Dean Stockwell is reason enough for this to make sense. They could be the Cylon version of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Riding around Earth, looting desolate cities and hijacking derailed train cars. They won't be miffed by some silly bicycle metaphor, though, because they ARE the future. Well, not really, since the resurrection ship has been destroyed. But Bakula could be that one Cylon that seems evil, only to save face at the end of the series and ensure the human way of life. He's just charismatic enough to pull it off.
Why it doesn't work:
The television public couldn't handle a Quantum Leap reunion. Nor could one actor grace the cast of three popular science fiction shows and live to tell about it. Then there's the fact that he's never been in an episode yet and there's no room for anyone that has a random white patch of hair on their head -- Cylons are nearly perfect (ahem, I said nearly... looking at Cylon Pirate Tigh).
Odds that I'm right:
