[QUOTE="Kenny Coyote, post: 172759, member: 102"] I'm not sure what "reboot" means. Little to no changes in location or characters or script, just new actors sounds like a continuation from the original, so how is it different? Of course there would need to be new actors since so many of the original actors are dead or dying. Ideally I'd have them continue from the original at a point in time when the Ewings still owned Ewing Oil because of the mistakes made in the last few years of the series. They never should have had Ewing Oil be sold. It being a major part of the show and owned by Ewings was as much a part of the show as Southfork and nobody ever thought it was a good idea for them to sell Southfork either. I'd have them continue from there with a story that fixes some of the mistakes made near the end and then after accomplishing that, so the story has a decent foundation upon which to build, they could move ahead a few years so that John Ross and Christopher would be young adults and be ready to start working at Ewing Oil. Later they could bring in Lucas and Margaret as well. They could bring in JR's child from Cally as well. I'd have the story say that JR had gotten misinformation about the child being a son and that is a daughter because it would give the story more directions in which to go if there were a female Ewing heir as well as the male heirs who already existed. I don't consider changing tastes or attitudes to even be a factor. They play no part whatsoever in how I would have the story be told because a good story will always be a good story.
