Mark Perry's words do seem to imply he may have a Star Trek: The Next Generation concept in mind for this Dark Shadows: Reincarnation - but he doesn't say that outright. IF that is what he has in mind, it will be fascinating to see how it takes shape. Will we get David as Master of Collinwood and his children/grandchildren, or perhaps only his children/grandchildren, or perhaps even something else entirely? And many DS fans have been saying for years that they would love a new series with a next generation take. Though will they love that if, say, that means no Barnabas, or perhaps even an entirely new set of characters, as they did with ST:TNG? DS fans can often be a fickle bunch - give them what they've said they've wanted and often they don't want it anymore...
Time will tell...
