And I disagree with both of you. If the original format was good, it
would not have been cancelled. Remakes need to be different to bring
new fans into the fold. If you don't like the remake, then don't watch
it.

Personally, I liked the new Trek movie, and for reasons that dealt
with the increasing inability to make new series and movies that
included everything that every fan wanted to remain consistent. With
the new movie, all of history has been changed from before Kirk's
birth - so they can now tell new stories with a new cast playing the
old, beloved characters with no problems of fans saying "but that's
inconsistent with XXX episode" - it CAN be different because history
has changed.

I liked the original UFO but see nothing wrong with making changes -
even significant changes - if it tells a better story. Frankly, if
they make a movie and it's nothing more than "episode 27" then I'll be
sorely disappointed.
