You make a strong point. I just watched the 360 video they released, and they have a bunch of Easter Eggs in it, like the Steps Of Knowledge outside of the Temple, a yellow helmet, and most obvious, a skeleton wearing a Silver Snakes shirt and Kirk saying that "an explorer was so startled by a Guard that he fled, never to be heard from again" while in search of Henry the VIII's Great Seal, and we ALL know what happened in that episode :-)
The easter eggs are fun, and it tells me that the producers are paying attention. What I mean by that is, these aren't producers that watched a few episodes, took some themes from the old show, and made a movie. They've done all they can to try to connect to the "original" audience, and I wouldn't be surprised if they've read threads from this forum. I talk about how important the original audience is because frankly, that's what most important in this case.
There is a reason top rated magazines like Variety, E!, TMZ exc. have been talking about this, and it's because the original show was so important to a lot of kids growing up in that time period. Nickelodeon churns out movies like this all the time, but there has never been so much hype about a TV Movie before a release date is given.
One other thing, I always thought that if LOTHT was brought back for a fourth season, it would be a guy like Jeff Supthen or something like that, as he's young, and has hosted a lot of game shows (that frankly were failures). But now, I'm pretty confident in saying that Kirk would retain hosting duties (if he accepted) if the show continued. This is because there is now an incentive to keep him on, and that's the fact that he was in the TV Movie.
All in all, a lot of speculation, but there are so many more possibilities then there were a few months ago.
