The oldster continuation dilema:
All the original cast are too old to appeal to the new generation. WE (the "old" fans) want to see them but in reality they need to have minor roles while the young blood that is their children must be the focus.
Look at Smallville:
The Dad is cool but he is there to support Clark.
The Mom is a good actress but the only swim suit shots are of Lana.
Forget the Continuation: Remake TOS season 2 with new actors and let the TOS actors have roles like:
Richard Hatch as Adama
Dirk Benedict as Colonel Tigh
Anne Lockhardt as Siress Tinia
Laurette Spang as a new Siress who Colonel Tigh falls for.
