That TNG recasting seems terribly unimaginative. Why cast actors who are so similar to the originals? Particularly when you consider that, for example, Yaphet Kotto was on the original shortlist to play Picard.

Exactly. I'd much rather have any reboot cast actors who can portray the character well, I don't care if they look similar or not, the character is important, the appearance is what the actor looked like at the time (well, with the exception of Worf).

And I didn't know Kotto was shortlisted, always liked him as an actor, and still haven't got around to buying some Homicide boxed sets.

I don't even care, particularly, about the characters.

Just give me another Trek series with people boldly going!

Letters of Note has the shortlist here (http://www.lettersofnote.com/2010/08/star-trekcasting.html). There are some interesting names on there, including Wesley Snipes as Geordi and Jenny Agutter as Beverley Crusher.
