TOS is willing to be remade/rethought. TNG is not. How come? (lemmy.world)

Where is a new set of actors for TNG? If a new TNG series/movie was made, who could the actors be for that?

Stop remaking things. It's to go boldly for fucks sake.

It’s to go boldly for fucks sake.

“To go boldly” is a remake of “to boldly go”

For any Trek fans I can suggest some science fiction writers who strongly influenced the original series.

Poul Anderson's 'The War Of The Wingmen' features a smarter version of Harry Mudd; a space trader trapped on a planet ruled by intelligent, winged tigers.

Roger Zelazny's 'Lord Of Light' has a long lost Earth colony ruled by the original starship's crew. They've used their advanced tech to turn themselves into the Hindu pantheon [except for a renegade Christian with an army of zombies]. One rebel used Buddhism to start a war...

Lord of Light is pretty neat. He wrote it so it could be read as either a scifi story or a fantasy story.

“The fit hit the Shan” was one of the few times I laughed out loud reading a book.

Star Trek’s problems started when they started doing prequels.

Enterprise is actually good, and I’m glad they made it but at the same time it killed the franchise’s golden age.

Enterprise holds a bizarre role as both prequel and sequel, due to time shenanigans being a major ongoing plotline
