I could cope, I’m sure. I’d be fine with or without it, though I wonder what elements would really change, short of more people saying “Calgon, Take me Away” rather than “Beam me up, Scotty”

I really enjoyed the old show, but I don’t think that too many influences would change… I guess there’d be a lot more “planet of the apes”-style tattoos, which could be a good thing.

I will abstain from the “monkey on your back” puns that come to mind.

My teen years would probably have been a little different – referring to something else rather than next gen… maybe the new twilight zone?

I like my current world, since I know it, but would be happy to voyage where no man/one has gone before…. erm, journey into the unknown for a little while.

I’m not sure what would replace Checkov’s “kyptin/ARGHHH!”, Kirk’s KHANNN!, and Dammit jim, I’m a doctor, not a … and the term “redshirt”.
