[QUOTE]Originally posted by Siegfried: [QB] I've had the same thought a few times. I think that the product would be very good and help smooth out some of the inconsistencies that occurred during its run. To see some of the episodes in brand new special effects would be awesome. However, I really don't think that it would work. First, the Trek community would probably go to hell in a handbasket as factions formed around The New Original Series. Those fans favoring TOS would accuse the fans of TNOS of revisionist history while the fans of TNOS would accuse the fans of TOS of clinging on to something obsolete. Imagine the current Enterprise debates only a hell of a lot more intense and bloodier. Second, the Trek community would run into the problem of which series to accept as canon. Should we go with TOS and all its flaws or a more improved TNOS? That would undoubtedly lead us into more arguments about original writers' intent. Lord help us if Berman and Braga were put in charge of the production; we'd never hear the end of the "B&B ARE DEMON SPAWN!" remarks. Finally, I don't think I could accept a redone TOS. A lot of the campiness were part of what did make TOS a lot of fun. I mean, watching a cargo hold full of living toupees fall on William Shatner is priceless. The oddball color scheme and the ridiculously large props (in comparison to what we have now) really do add a lot to the overall aura of TOS. I guess I'd feel that a lot of the stuff that couldn't be accounted for in the stories, direction, acting, and whatnot would be lost. It just wouldn't be the spirit of TOS if we didn't that exact same model of the Enterprise soaring across the screen. [/QB][/QUOTE]
