[QUOTE="Ranger REG, post: 3277505, member: 533"] My gawd, you're older than me. (Born in 1969, seen [i]Trek[/i] in syndication when I was 10). But in all of my viewing, [i]Trek[/i] have never been darker nor grittier. Granted, [i]DS9[/i] went beyond what [i]Trek[/i] is about by doing a very long [i]Dominion War[/i] story arc. (Not to mention, a [i]Trek[/i] series that took place on a space station rather than a starship.) But from what I have seen of Ron D. Moore's [i]BSG,[/i] the franchise would never go down that deep, dark path. [i]Trek's[/i] too clean to go there. [i]Lost in Space[/i] film was okay, just not as blockbuster as the original series. [i]Starsky and Hutch[/i] have taken the comedic route, deviating from the original series. [i]Bewitched[/i] use a different story (doing a show about [i]Bewitched[/i] and finding an actress who is secretly a withc) from the original series. [i]BSG[/i] too dark, yet you want [i]Trek[/i] to go there? Well, [i]Batman[/i] did start off as a TV series and a whole slew of animations (including [i]Super Friends[/i]), but the film version directed by Tim Burton have taken the franchise from light and campy to dark and gothic. As for [i]Bond,[/i] it was a movie-based-on-novel franchise to begin with. William Shatner is also TJ Hooker, and lately Denny Crane (who slept with 5 NOLA hookers). It would be sad to think that the character is tailor-made for or attached to one actor. I mean considering that the original cast are slowing disappearing, I don't think we can end the franchise because he is no longer with us. It's possible, but it won't draw mainstream audience in if you don't include an iconic. I mean, could George Lucas do the Prequels without having Anakin/Darth, Palpatine, and Obi-Wan characters in the story? [/QUOTE]
