Its just a pity that that sort of crap has to go on, esp. in literature. New Hitch-Hikers novel not written by Douglas Adams, forget it. Those bastardised Dune novels written after Herberts death, forget it.
But then again, some writers/creators revisit material that should be left alone. Joseph Heller wrote a pointless sequel to Catch-22. And then there is Blues Brothers 2000. AAAARRGGHHH!!!!
