Doctor Who - has changing actors as an explicit potential written into the character, including the understanding that his whole personality changes each time, so this one hardly counts. :)

Explicit potential written into the character now. . . but the concept didn't even appear until the 4th season in 1966 when it was clear that William Hartnell was becoming quite ill and wouldn't be able to continue as The Doctor. So, they came up with the idea that since he's an alien, he could do things completely unexpected to humans like the whole regeneration concept.

It's more a tribute to good writing and acting that they were able to pull off the concept well and make it believable to the audience that The Doctor would be able to completely change form periodically.

Thats only because he didn't ask the fortune telling machine the right questions in the diner and ended up on the wrong flight.

He's too exhausted after chasing young blonde women (except recently he went after Murphy Brown, but she's blonde).
 

I have said before that I have little interest in this project. I would have loved a new Trek movie if it had gone forward instead of backward.

I have a very specific way I view these characters and I am really afraid that to make the show more popular with today's auidences that it will ruin it for me. I want Kirk to be the same way he was in the TV series and movies. I want the basic personality of Kirk to shine through.

I don't want a Battlestar Galactica. The characters in the new shows are miles apart and have nothing in common which really annoyed me at first. Now I watch the new show but I don't consider it Battlestar Galactica it's just a show with the same name.

But I have been a Trek fan since I was 7 years old watching the orginial show with my dad. And I don't want to see these characters changed in way that they are not recognizable to me the way the Battlestar Galactica characters were.

Me too. The Star Trek universe is huge, I guess they don't have the writers who can do a good story in it without involving the Enterprise crew. So now we have a reboot or just early days or whatever it is. I'm not really interested.

I am starting to wonder if some of these young producers can really come with any thing new.
