We really are living in an alternate timeline if this is even up for consideration

Please stop rebooting, re-imagining and making sequels and prequels out of things. DO SOMETHING ORIGINAL ALREADY!

Oh great, here we are, another thread that exists just for the purpose of collecting the whiners.

More likely the "news" is someone just trolling for attention.

How about we righteously rail against something when it becomes a reality? It's not worth getting our blood pressure up.

I say why not, do a reboot of the originals. If it brings in a new batch of fans, awesome. If it sucks, don't watch it. And nothing is stopping people of any age/generation from going back to just enjoying the original series.

I do like new and original ideas, but people would of course 81tch about that too....I'd rather have a remake of an original series with proven good storylines than a bunch of executive (and money)-driven storylines and ideas that are really just meant to sell merchandise and keep people with goldfish-length attention spans interested. I'd rather a well-executed remake attract future fans, than lose a bunch of potential viewers who aren't interested in watch the original series now that it is nearly 60 years old. Try and get any younger people to be interested in anything that old.

This right here. We're a fickle bunch who are fast becoming the non-preferred audience.

IMO it's hard to argue with remaking anything that is 60 years old.

TOS would not cost jack to remake, compared to its prestige in the genre. The only expensive parts of the old episodes are stuff that CGI has cheapened. That has to be factoring into their thinking.

Or.......go with the legacy series, or 100 years later, or the 29th century timeline, etc, etc. WHY redo something your core audience holds dear over something new?

Because they require the tears of fans upon which to feed.

Maybe because they did the concept right the first time, and it still works as well as any other way they could change it?

So many modern sequel projects are really 'soft reboots' anyway.

As far as new productions,
Trek ended for me 20 years ago. They have done nothing since that indicates they are capable of anything proper. Not even close. A saucer and nacelles, vector badges and pointed ears does not make it Star Trek. So they can do it or don’t do it I’m out. Zero hope of Trek coming back. 20 years is a long time. It doesn’t matter now. I’ll always have Paris.

The issue is the “Who” that would be rebooting TOS…

If it’s Kurtzman and co…it’s called being rightfully concerned about franchise dilution and brand damage. The track record is clear.

Now…someone like Ronald Moore rebooting TOS? I would absolutely be excited for that.

Didn't this already happen with the Trek we have now? Wasn't that a reboot of the entire series with the JJ movie?

 

[batguy]

If they keep Kurtzman in charge, that tells me what I need to know about the project.

I'd say it has already been rebooted three times.

• Discovery
