   It messes up ANY remote sense of continuity withint trhe franchise. It   
   creates multiple "sub-franchises" (at best), so why not simply avoid such   
   stupidty and create a NEW franchise to begin with?? Reason: Hollyweird is   
   incredibly stupid, increbilty talentless, and incredibly greedy - their   
   motto "screw the fans, we want mor money".   :-(
