[QUOTE]Originally posted by HerbShrump: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Mars Needs Women: [qb] I don't think rebooting the series would work right now. Enterprise has only been off the air for a year. Rebooted shows like Battlestar Galactica and Doctor Who came from shows which were cancelled years ago. While the original Star Trek is still liked, if rebooted people would just go "not another one!". I'd say let a couple of years pass and then let us see about this re-booting business. [/qb][/QUOTE]I think that's a big point. BSG's "reboot" works because the franchise was untouched since 1978/1979 (ignoring Galactica 1980 and the scant few books). People tried to revitalize the series in the meantime, but the NuBSG we have now is the only one to see fruition. Star Trek, on the other hand, has had a steady stream of new stories since 1979. 10 movies and 4 spin-off series. I think this volume of work is too fresh for a reboot to work now. Further, I think the amount of material Trek related is so enormous that a reboot would be ill-received. There are a ton more Trek fans than Battlestar fans. The backlash against NuBSG was a small ripple compared to the backlash Trek fans would unleash. [/QB][/QUOTE]
