Shows that need to be rebooted

It just had its winter finale.
I enjoy it, its a modern take on the character. Bigger supporting cast, some nice homages to the original.
Supposedly RDA is going to play this Mac's grandfather.

Huh, wasn't aware of that. Would be pretty fitting though, seeing as he seems to have learned 90% of the stuff he does onscreen from his grandfather.

^^^Agreed!

Why does it need to be rebooted?

the stories suck this season... they need to stop having him face a speedster, constantly lose early on and then barry all of a sudden beats him in the season finale

Isn't this what happens in most super hero shows?

Aside from the speedster thing, i'll stick with a general 'haha'.

After Zoom last season I was tired of speedster villains, but then for some reason I don't actually dislike Savitar. I also enjoy having Thawne on Legends.

Though one annoying aspect of the show is that Flash can literally accomplish any goal as long as someone says "run Barry run" at the end of a pep talk.

yea but with the flash, it way too abundant.... plus he always neeeds a pep talk

So no real reasons for a reboot then.

Alien Nation
First Wave
Space: Above & Beyond
Starship Andromeda
Earth: Final Conflict

Really I probably need to go back and look at them all to see if I'm not just remembering things fondly, but they all seemed to have been well before their time, and overall have somewhat been a waste of really amazing actors because they really never got their due when they were out.

The only one on your list i recall watching was Alien Nation, and i liked it. They came up with some neat concepts building in the movie.

I know there are plans for a remake movie for Alien Nation

so a new tv show is possible.

alien nation was real! I forgot all about that!

flash reboot? maybe. I don't like how barry gives up his identity to people but I guess its necessary if they are going to be on the show indefinitely. I feel like they tried to reboot Flash and Green Arrow with flashpoint but failed.

Green Arrow reboot probably should get a redo.

though i'll say I don't think im necessarily the demographic they are trying to snatch up anyways.

I remember back in the early 2000's the SyFy channel would air a different sci-fi series each day. Like 12 hours straight so you'd get like half a season of each series each day, but it would rotate each day. Since I missed my entire senior year in high school due to surgeries I was home and First Wave was always the show I'd look forward to watching the most whenever it would come on. I would tape the episodes when they aired so I could watch them on the days they would air a series I didn't like.

So yeah, I'd like to see a reboot. Hell I'd like to see the original series put on netflix.
