I have a confession. Does anybody want to try and guess what it is?

You’ve been living a lie?

I’m with Warbler on this one. First Contact was good the last time I saw it (ages ago), but would surely not hold up now that I’m more familiar with the TV series.

As Picard had a love for archeology, I like the Indiana Jones comparison.

Can you really see Picard running around punching nazis and looking for the Holy Grail and the Ark of the Covenant, using a whip to climb things and swing from one thing to another and as a weapon, all while wearing a brown leather jacket and fedora?

You mean this guy?

Crap, you’re right. I even uploaded that part to YouTube a few years ago. But I just don’t think anything they could come up with would do justice to the character.

I don’t know if I want Q back. His story ended perfectly with the series finale. And look what happened when he showed up in Voyager.

If they only want the family-friendly stuff, why not move the remaining Marvel, SW, and other properties they’re interested in into Disney then sell the remainder of the studio to someone else?

Because then people would have something else to watch that isn’t from Disney.

Race car driving

Unfortunate, but unsurprising.

Me too! Every scenario that showed a future Picard showed a bearded Picard.

That would be incredibly boring. I said it before, but I want to see Picard as an ambassador, doing the kinds of things Spock did during TNG.

I don’t even know where to buy Star Wars figures in-store now, with Toys 'R Us gone. The last figure I bought was the 5" Peter Capaldi/Matt Smith Doctor Who set, a line that is now completely dead. But I just can’t justify spending money on any toys. I only got that Doctor Who one to update a 12 Doctors set I received as a gift.

^That too. The fact that it seems to be focusing on Picard entirely, not an ensemble, and he’s not a captain must have held appeal.

All you need is some rubbing alcohol to make those finicky cartridges work again.

I don’t think Mario Kart 64 was too polished, but it was pretty early on in the 3D world. Mario Kart 64 came out the same year as Super Mario 64. Crash Team Racing came out the same year as Donkey Kong 64, three whole years. That doesn’t sound like much now, but that’s all the difference from figuring out just what makes a 3D game work, and polishing what has been found to work. And for that reason, MK64 is the more notable game. I have a lot of fond memories of it, in fact I have every track memorized, so I obviously prefer it.

What about this?

Or what about this?

The Atari probably will still work, Warbler. Unfortunately it isn’t worth very much these days, unless you mean to say it’s in its original box. In which case… let’s talk, lmao.

Nutcracker Fantasy (1979) is still the best version I’ve ever seen.

I beg to differ:

A large sack of cash is what they pitched him.

Yeah, was afraid of that. But in the Trek spirit, I tried to be optimistic.

I keep having dreams where everyone yells at me for being a terrible person. It’s like Curb Your Enthusiasm, but distressing.
