      Watching TNG as a kid

      Realizing, now, you’re only 5 years younger than Patrick Stewart was when he started filming TNG (47)

      Which is even more mind-blowing when you consider that a lot for these long-awaited sequels…the protagonist in the sequel is as old, if not older than, their mentor in the original.

      I could be mis-remembering on some of these, but…

      Creed: Stallone was older in this movie mentoring Apollo Creed’s son, than Mickey was in the original Rocky

      TopGun Maverick: Tom Cruise is >= Tom Skerritt (Viper) in Top Gun

      Cobra Kai: Ralph Macchio >= Pat Morita in Karate Kid

      SWTLJ: Mark Hamill >= Alex Guinness

        yea, we’re old. but we haven’t done a little big horn like custer did when he was 36

        there’s always someone better, but there’s also always someone worse

      Another Kirk POV: Watching a Beastie Boys song destroy a fleet of alien vessels… Realizing you were playing the same song when you drove your big brother’s Corvette off a cliff as a kid.
