The title comes from the article, but I agree with some of these changes. It’s making for an engaging show that also feels modern.

    I can’t do it. There’s a very simple principle here that seems to escape most of hollywood lately: If you want to do something different, then call it something different! I mean at least change part of the name. Look at the first four Star Trek sequel series, they all had different names, and still were closer to the original than that crap that Abrams spewed out. Even The Orville is closer to Star Trek and it doesn’t use any of the original names at all. The Gotham tv series doesn’t even have the name “Batman” in it. I know they weren’t allowed to but still, makes it far easier to take as its own thing. It’s almost like they are trying to do it backwards, where the closer the name is to the original, the less it bears any resemblance to it.
