They may go in an entirely different direction for the new series though. I seem to recall the producers disavowing the 1980 series once they sobered up.
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.
'Serenity'
Boxed Set, Vol. 1: Smallville, Due South, Farscape
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much anything else that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, then does anyone know, in the original series, or in this one, what they established about Earth and Kobol? I assumed the existence of the LJ community 13th_colony suddenly made sense, but who knows?

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Per the mini-series, Kobol is where they all came from and Earth is a legendary thirteenth colony.

Thanks, Katie. I found the miniseries very confusing, but that may have been all on me.

It's theoretically possible I picked that up from discussion, mind you.

Have you seen ads for it? It looks AWFUL. Like they are trying to do a whole series in the style of A KNIGHT'S TAIL, and then doing a half-assed job of it. Given that I couldn't bring myself to watch AKT, I'd guess nightmare isn't even close to an overstatement. shudders

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Per the mini-series, Kobol is where they all came from and Earth is a legendary thirteenth colony.
This is also true in the original series.
