J.J. Abrams Star Trek reboot saw the franchise characters recast for the Kelvin timeline and its actually an improvement on The Original Series.
With J.J. Abrams Star Trek reboot came a new host of actors, and the Kelvin timelines cast is actually better than that of Star Trek: The Original Series. Celebrated as a pioneer of modern sci fi Star Trek The Original Series challenged the conventions of its day, proving itself a groundbreaking piece of television in the process. Its cast of characters became as iconic as the show itself and their lasting impression on pop culture cannot be understated.
However by the time Star Trek was given its first movie franchise, its actors were aging. The resulting films vary in quality but they continued the franchise and kept the fans interest in Star Trek alive eventually paving way for new shows with new casts. However in 2009 J.J. Abrams rebooted Star Trek bringing the story of Captain Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise to life for a younger and wider audience.
Naturally with its new timeline the Star Trek reboot got a new cast. This cast was made up of younger stars including a number of A listers and celebrated character actors that rekindled audiences interest in the franchise. In many ways these new cast members are actually better for Star Trek and its characters than The Original Series cast was. This might sound like sacrilege to many Star Trek fans but there are a number of reasons both on and off the screen that the Star Trek reboots cast is better than that of The Original Series.
