Hasn't the public or hollywood figured out that prequels are a bad idea that never works. The problem with prequels is the shows ceiling is already known beforehand, which is insanely limiting for writing as well as entertainment. The type of entertainment that a prequel is limited too is coming up with familiarity moments that reference the show that it's prequiling... this may have seemed fun in theory the first time any of us experienced a prequel, but now that we have, it ends up being not only not being fun, but a bit cheesy as well. Why begin a show with a ceiling when you can begin a show with infinite potential. When you make a prequel the highest you can set the bar is about a 7 (on an otherwise scale of 1 to 10) and that's if the show is perfect and does everything right.
