当代人有个症状，叫 “翻拍 PTSD”，听到某某影视剧要翻拍，连脚趾都在抗拒：“你拍吧，反正我不会买票/贡献收视。”但是面对最近的《绯闻女孩》重启、《007》重启，很多人就疑惑了：重启（Reboot）和翻拍（Remake）到底有什么区别？
重启（Reboot）是抛弃已经建立好的原有设定（如时间线、故事背景、人物等），但会保留一切必要的核心要素和概念，然后创造一个不同的作品，比如《007》系列。重启的理由很简单：如果一直拍下去的话，詹姆斯·邦德现在已经90多岁了，哪来的力气谈恋爱抓坏蛋。
而翻拍（Remake）一般是换个班底 / 制作方式把原剧本走一遍，比如清空你钱包的迪斯尼和耗尽你耐心的国产武侠剧。总体来说，重启作品再创作的自由度比翻拍剧更高。但谁也阻止不了那些爱做手脚的主创。比如说，赶在007 从白人男性变成黑人女性之前，于妈已经把东方不败早从男二变成女一了。
一般来说，相对翻拍剧，观众对重启剧的接受度更高，心态也更复杂。我们今天盘点的这些美剧，大部分都是曾同时出现在“千万别重启”和“一定要重启”榜单中。是什么样的剧让观众陷入如此纠结的情绪？（是的，这是一篇变相的美剧安利文）
城市冒险 系列
The Wire《火线》（2002-2008）
IMDB 9.3
“This show made me hate TV, because it transcends it”
是否该重启：值得一试但求别毁
One of the greatest achievements in television of all-time is about nothing more than the entire system of an American city. It’s only been a decade sinceThe Wireleft the air, so the idea of a reboot may feel a little untouchable to some. But there are always more avenues to go down with a series like this — the faces may change, but the system stays the same. McNulty all but disappeared from the series in the stellar fourth season, proving once and for all that no specific character is needed to anchor a show likeThe Wire.
《火线》通过巴尔的摩市警察与犯罪团伙间交锋的故事辐射了整个美国的城市系统。它是美国人心里不可动摇的神剧 TOP 1，更何况下线才十几年，还有一个堪称完美的结局。但你又不能否认它确实很有重启的价值——人也许会变，但腐败的体系还是不会变。很神奇的是，这个剧的男主角在第四季几乎消失了一整季，也没有对这个剧造成什么影响。这说明《火线》的灵魂不是常驻的演员，这也是它适合重启的原因之一。
Breaking Bad《绝命毒师》（2008-2013）
IMDB 9.5
“I want to lose my memory so that I can re-enjoy it”
是否该重启：别了，让老白过得舒坦点吧
AMC’s drug lord drama boasted one of the most coherent story arcs of any TV show we’d ever seen — all because creator Vince Gilligan and his writing staff knew when and how they would end Walter White and Jesse Pinkman’s travails.Sure, AMC is capitalizing onBreaking Bad’s success with spinoffBetter Call Saul, butthatcritically-acclaimed drama has forged its own identity by focusing on a charismatic supporting character in a totally different period.
十几年来，如果美剧中《火线》称第二则没有剧敢称第一，直到《绝命毒师》出现。正因为编剧知道在对的时候结束两个主角的痛苦，才让《绝命毒师》有胆量自称拥有了电视剧史上最连贯的故事线。当然，AMC 依然想用衍生剧《风骚律师》压榨《绝命毒师》的价值，但是所幸《风骚律师》本身就很有魅力的主角和独特的时代背景也让它拥有了自己的姓名。如今《绝命毒师》影版已官宣10月上线奈飞，预告片里可没有老白哦。
异度空间 系列
Firefly 《萤火虫》(2002-2003)
IMDB 9.0
“What was FOX thinking?!”
是否该重启：还等什么！
Could anyone get enoughFirefly? The sci-fi drama aired for just one season, but Fox didn’t give it the push it deserved. Its episodes aired out of order and didn’t get the marketing push other Fox shows received. The ensemble cast created a fascinating dynamic that made viewers fall in love. Over the years, through streaming, more and more people have fallen in love with space western, calling for a continuation of the series or a reboot. With all the reboots happening across television, now seems like the perfect time to bringFireflyback to life.
《萤火虫》留下了强烈的不满足感——这么好的剧居然只拍了一季就被砍了。原因是 FOX 觉得它成本太高、收不抵支。这个剧的主角是九个身份悬殊、个性迥异的乘客，他们都带着不可告人的往事，来到太空这个法外之地，为了维持生计进行阴暗的交易。全体卡司之间神奇的化学反应一开始就俘获了一大批粉丝，而这十几年来他们所做的就是做这个剧的自来水，一同呐喊《萤火虫》的回归。如今 FOX 也不缺钱了，趁着科幻题材依然有热度，是时候满足观众了。
Lost 《迷失》(2004-2010)
IMDB 8.4
“Chilling, atmospheric and addictive”
是否该重启：脑细胞已死，有事烧纸
Throughout six seasons, ABC’s mystery-riddledcastaway drama went from zeitgeist phenomenon to cult classic as the writers shifted the focus from the island’s physical threats to its metaphysical properties — and, unfortunately, alienated viewers amid all the flash-forwards and flash-sideways. A Lostrevival would be impossible and stupidly ambitious because of the way the story was wrapped up.
《迷失》大概就是《萤火虫》的反例了。这个迷雾重重的荒岛求生电视剧从写实风变成了邪典风，因为编剧把重点从岛上的物理威胁变成了追求形而上学的意义。而且没完没了的闪前和平行宇宙也让寻求轻松的观众望而却步。《迷失》结局的完美闭环，让任何回归或重启的行为都显得很天真（何况这个剧还如此费钱）。
都市轻喜剧 系列
How IMet Your Mother《老爸老妈罗曼史》（2005-2014 ）
IMDB 8.3
“Good laugh for late twenty-somethings”
是否该重启：安息吧
“How I Met Your Mother” is a great sitcom that had a terrible ending. “If I wanted to watch a series about how your soulmate might not be the love of your life, I’d have watched Dawson’s Creek, a series which did it much better.” It should remain dead and buried forever.
如何用几分钟毁掉一个剧的一世英名？那就是用结局摧毁掉它一开始建立的、在你心里积攒了十年的信仰。我们都知道灵魂伴侣往往不能陪自己走到最后，但这个结论不应该由《老爸老妈罗曼史》来告知，我们是来看喜剧的不是来找残酷的。
Friends 《老友记》(1994-2004)
IMDB 8.9
“That show you’ll always come back to”
是否该重启：请留给我们一点情怀
The thing that made “Friends” so popular was its portrayal of the way single people were living in the 90s.The same story just wouldn’t be the same if it took place today, not to mention that every character except Joey is married with kids now.
让《老友记》红到现在的原因就是它描写的是90年代那些可爱的单身青年。如果重启的话，剧中很多设定可能就不成立了；而各自拥有家庭（除了乔伊）的主角们回归的可能性也很小。
事实上也有一些重启剧的成功案例，比如《双峰》；但是大多数都失败了，比如网飞出品的《发展受阻》第四季。原创虽不易，改编需谨慎，希望别因为“赚快钱”而毁了那些经典剧集留给我们最初的美好。
