so what was stopping them from remaking one? or for that matter CGI's of, say, the BoBW's ships?

Rev: I know what you mean. Every time I see something like that I hear the Power Rangers theme music somewhere in the depths of what I claim to be my brain.
I saw an episode of Ghost in the Shell once and liked it. I keep meaning to watch it.

The only shows containing MECH-like robots were power rangers, and Voltron. I saw a couple episodes of Gundam when I was younger, but never really understood it.

Why bother? Its unlikely we're are ever going to see the TNG era again. [/QB]
I wouldn't be so sure. Some of the elderly Spock scenes in the new movie will probably be set in the TNG era, although it's anybody's guess whether we'll see anything more than some nondescript room on Vulcan or something.

Dunno; Sarek only just died in TNG era. Depending on just how old Spock is in the new movie, it could be quite a bit after TNG. How old was Spock in Unification? Sarek was just over 200 at the time, I remember that.

136 as of "Unification", 152 in the current year.
I would expect Spock to die sometime soon due to his mixed heritage.

Well, you must also take into account what happened on genesis. Maybe that may extend his lifespan. So, maybe he was younger when he left genesis than when he arrived. I doubt that Kirk and company could have known at exactly what time to take Spock off of the planet, only that they needed to get him off asap. So, he could be 30 or 40 years longer than he originally was. He doesn't have to look younger. Take Tpol, she is like 50 or something and looks in her 20's.

Also remember that by then humans can easily clock-in well over the 100 mark, even McCoy made it to at least 137 and still had the ability to walk on his own and breath without a respirator. Which is more than you can say with most 90 year olds today. Besides, Spock's Vulcan side has always been dominant, biologically speaking so I think he could make it to 200. Oddly enough, ($POILER ALERT!) if the rumours about him travelling back to the mid 23rd century are correct, he'd be about on par with T'Pol, age wise, that is assuming she's still around.

I don't think so. If anything, he was older after Genesis. I'm basing thins on the fact that, as you said, T'Pol was in her 60s, Sarek 102, Tuvok about 100, & they were fresh-faced...whereas Spock was haggard as fuck all by the time he was 60.
