[QUOTE="Spooky Owl!, post: 438223, member: 57984"] As a rule, I'm against A.I. sweetening old classics -- except when I'm not. (And my grasp of technology is so pathetic that I'm not the one to do it). But DALLAS, the most successful drama series in global television, so utterly self-destructed -- something I watched in real time, my jaw fully in agape-hood -- as the Emmy-winning matriarch was unnecessarily re-cast, Bobby was resuscitated in a two-minute scene, and the last three seasons became silly camp (instead of the series getting dustier and darker), I might become ruthless enough to "fix" them via A.I.. Realizing that that sets a disastrously bad precedent which will, inevitably, be used to fix things that [I]don't need [/I]to be corrected. And the related guild/union stuff would be a disaster in its own right. But when something's already been thoroughly ruined, as oldDALLAS' last half was, ruthlessness seems less ruthless-y.
