an icepick through the keyhole

Uh, my initial reaction was negative, and re-reading didn't change that ... it's an iconic show and so much in the public mind, I don't think it'd work - eaven leaving things like Roddenberry's vision and stuff aside, as I know they are being. Plus there's no real need (money, power etc not counting) for it - it wasn't too cheesy/serious/.../whatever for a re-booting to be sufficiently different from it.
