[QUOTE="Gronin, post: 5666974, member: 7603"] While I couldn't agree more with this statement this is also at the root of what worries me most about a new series. In the case of BSG the new and reimagined characters and story was phenomenal (until the last few episodes --- but that is probably for a different thread). It had been a long time since the original and to be frank, as much as I enjoyed the original, it needed to be reworked for today's market. However, in the case of Star Gate Universe it didn't work (at least not for me). Star Gate was still fresh in the minds of it's audience and the brand carried with it certain expectations which were not met by SGU. Star Gate (SG1 and Atlantis) were shows which had a certain sense of optimism, the revolved around closely knit teams which cared for each other, and they had a sense of humour. Now that may or may not have been your cup of tea, but regardless to many fans SGU was not Star Gate. I see it as likely that any new Star Trek show that tries to capture the BSG feel and get "gritty and real" are likely to lose a lot of it's audience. Whatever timeline they chose to follow it is my hope that Star Trek will remain Star Trek, although if anyone were to ask me I have two suggestions. 1/Mackenzie Calhoun from the Peter David stories or 2/we could always return to the roots of Star Trek and [url=http://www.bringbackkirk.com/]Bring Back Kirk: The Official Site[/url] [/QUOTE]
