I actually had a dream last night that I was MacGyver and I was dropped from a plane into Syria for a secret mission.

Perhaps that is a sign that I should watch the new episodes. Or go to Syria...

Remember when rebooting something was fun and different, and not a lovely attempt to capture lightning in a bottle?

As a kid I had a strict bedtime except for Monday nights when I was allowed to stay up for MacGyver.

I watch the show on Netflix sometimes and it's lovely but in the very comfortable and inoffensive way typical of television from that era. New show will prolly be lovely too??

no because that is and has always been the case.

There were few exceptions like BSG that wasn't just a nostalgia-trap and they did something unique and even better with it than mormon space adventures, and some "reboot" movies like Batman Begins were good, but largely those were minority than majority and most reboot/remakes loving suck

Is this what culture is now? Are we just going to freeze all shows and movies into the example that best embodies its genre?

not just that, we're also going to extend shows and movies into the example that most profitably embodies its setting, and every movie will be a cross over of universe and genre.

it's going to make marketing so easy

heist in space: Star Wars: Ocean's Eleven
medieval romance: 50 Shades of the Lord of the Rings
spy film set in WWII: Mission Impossible: Saving Private Ryan
superhero mystery: Sherlock Holmes, Agent of SHIELD
family comedy set in prehistoric times: Jurassic Simpsons
wizards travel back in time: LEGO Harry Potter goes Back to the Future

you just take any script, alter the setting slightly to fit an ongoing universe and slap on the latest metaplot as backstory so everyone is forced to see everything if they ever want to know what's going on. sooo eeeasssssyyyy, and that way there are two brands for audience to recognise
