Rebooting "I Dream of Jeannie"

[Owain Taggart]

He sees something in space, but is sworn to secrecy via NDA, which creates tension between him and his wife. It changes him and she senses he's troubled by something, but he can't tell her anything. It creates an emotional distance. Maybe as a process, we get to see a lot more about the organization and other astronauts and their wives, and they could even show flashbacks to his training.

In S1 of TOS, he's engaged to be married to the General's daughter.

I'd put more emphasis on the creature aspect of Jeannie (after all, she is NOT human).

This thing ... This creature ... has just inserted herself into Tony's life.

^ That'd be the biggest secret then. That she's among the astronaut wives and she's not even human!

What about Antonia and Gene? Definitely gives it a new spin.

That's S5 of TOS.

 

[Owain Taggart]

I see what you did there!

An astronaut going on a mission meanwhile an alien is right at home posing as his wife! Talk about a twist!
