I'd like to see ST:TAS remade or rebooted.
I think some of the first-season episodes (by no means all of them) were written pretty well, and you could attribute any problems with the story or dialog to the ~20-minute length of the episodes. If they were given ~30 minutes that a pay-TV network could provide, problems like that would be solvable. I think Star Trek fans deserve a look at these stories, done right, and I think there would be a lot of interest, if it was treated with respect rather than as disposable children's TV series.
In ST:TAS, the voice acting was awful, even though much of the original cast was involved. Doohan's aliens were laughably weak, and Nichols was unable to disguise her voice for her multiple characters. But worst, the idea of all the actors in a scene not being together in the same place at the same time is just toxic to a series like Star Trek, where familiar characters are supposed to have personalities, interactions, and reactions.
The music was also awful. A lot of times it was off to the races, trying to stimulate an excitement that the story and animation just weren't delivering. And it wasn't even Star Trek music, really. It sounded very generic to me. If it wasn't generic at the beginning, it certainly seemed that way by the end of season 2. I was glad there wasn't any more to endure. Duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duuuuuuh makes me want to stab my ears.
The animation? Awful. I'm just not going to say any more than that. Awful.
What I HAVE liked, even though the look is very similar to TAS, are the two animated fan shorts Starship Farragut: The Animated Episodes. Because there are only two, I don't call it a series. But their execution based on TAS, is actually better than TAS, and it's just a fan project. Any remake or reboot of TAS would have to be superior to these.
