Somewhere past the Hinder Stars

[wombat_socho]

It occurred to P and I this morning on the way in to work that if somebody ever makes a movie (or better yet, a mini-series) out of C. J. Cherryh's Downbelow Station, they could do a lot worse than use the music of Sisters of Mercy for the soundtrack. It has the dark, bleak, brooding tone so appropriate for that most Gothic of space operas.

Out of curiosity, oh f-list members, who would you cast in a TV version of Cherryh's novel? I'm partial to Sharon Gless (Cagney and Lacey) for the role of Signy Mallory, and Taye Diggs (Equilibrium) as Edward Porey.
