I was really excited to see that ReBoot was coming back a few days ago. When I saw the new pitch ideas that were released Thursday, I was disappointed. I know the concept art is just concept art but it freaks me to see that the characters could become something their not. I honestly believe that the art should remain the familiar design we've come to love but upgraded obviously.I personally didn't like the animation of Season 4 but at least they looked like themselves, to a point.
Story wise, I wish to see a continuation from Season 4 - Show us the Hunt!! I think it sounds epic. I loved the way it was started, and want to see it through. I also want to see what is beyond that.... I think that Ian Pearson, Gavin Blair, Phil Mitchell, John Grace, and another main writers should be included because, to be honest, this show is their show, it's their story, and it's a big part of their life - Gavin Blair is going to that Expo in Toronto to be there for the Art of ReBoot book, I'm 100% sure that Gavin would be at least back. If you had a television series you worked on for a long time, wouldn't you want to be able to decide what happens next, not some random writer? Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying these writers' don't have any sort of talent, far from it. I just believe that ReBoot should be written by the original writing team as it is there story.
Bring back the original voice cast. Without them, the characters would seem odd. Sure, Hack, Bob, Enzo, and possibly some other others (who I cannot think of) have had different voices but Hack's different voices worked through out, Bob's degraded voice worked well (Ian James Corlett did a GREAT job as Web/GlitchBob and Michael Benyaer did return for My Two Bobs which was very nostalgic and awesome.) And Enzo - Well a kid has to voice him so it's understandable that he's had different voice, and Matrix had a good aged voice.
I'm sure a lot of people would wonder "Without these new ideas, how can we get a new audience interested?" Easily! If the three movies will be aired on T.V, Put Seasons 1 through 4 back on at a good time to refresh everyone, do those All day marathons, whatever! (I'm sure YTV could do this as t hey've had a close relationship with ReBoot) People can get caught up and new people can start watching it and fall in love with it. If ReBoot comes back and is different, people will feel that it may be a cop out, or people trying to cater to some mass public that may hate this thing that's different from the original.
This show is extremely lovable, with the comedic side and the dark side. Lots of new people can get interested if you keep the design and story the same. They can watch the Hunt and go "Hmm, I enjoy this show!... What, there was more before it! I gotta check it out!). I know I would if the Hunt was the first time I saw! I sure a lot of people did when Daemon's Rising and My Two Bobs came out, or even Season 3!
To the fans of ReBoot here - If you want to see the Original show back, we can do it, Rainmaker said they want our input. If you don't like any of the ideas, you can post saying you want the original show back, You don't have to choose one of the ideas. I've read the pitches, it's obvious that Rainmaker chose good and creative writers to make these ideas but I'd rather have the original people write this show.
Thank you for reading my blog and I hope a lot of people consider what I said.

The problem with continuing 'The Hunt' is new viewers starting at the middle of a book and reading. They won't get and they won't watch. They don't have as much as us invested in it.
But rather than moan and whine that some of the pitches aren't that great. Give feedback and tell them what's wrong.
I rather like Reboot 2.0 because it keeps the same characters but gives a new setting thanks to an OS upgrade like Vista. (I hate the art style).
So I'd rather comprimise and get Reboot again than none at all.

Stimulatonii - People can easily watch something and then backtrack either before or after - with how many videos are on the internet, and other people's taped recording, it's quite easy. I'm sure a lot of people are going out to watch the new Harry Potter film and never read or watched the old books or movies and I am SURE people went to the Transformers movie not knowing anything about it except that they can transform into other stuff. Sure it was new story, but Transformer is a type of series that can do that - They've had how many universes now?
