Minor contradictions are bound to happen ocassionally, especially when you
have different people writing and making the shows over many years.
They're annoyning at worst, but can be lived with.

Wholesale changes as found in (and defined by) a "reboot" means that you
end up with a different product ... one that by all common sense reality
is not actually part of the same fracnhise (again by definition - they've
changed it!). When the people making a "reboot" are even standing there
telling you it's "different", then anyone who still blindly claims it's
part of the same franchise are quite obviously morons who do not under
stand the term.
