I know it's not the same thing because I'm a clueless 3-year-old as opposed to a disinterested teen with attitude, but this made me think of this picture of me at Disney World ca. 1973. :)

I saw Star Wars 13 times in the theater back in'77-'78. :)

I love Dreamscape. I've always been a big Dennis Quaid fan.

It definitely wasn't as good as the original UK Life on Mars but the American one grew on me and I did like it for what it was. And the scene where US Sam Tyler turned around and saw the World Trade Center was really powerful IMO.

Thinking about it in retrospect and after consuming 20 years of other sci-fi, you could look at it from a timey-wimey/River Song perspective and maybe from Q's perspective these events took place immediately after the events of Farpoint when he really was more of a dick. He doesn't have to be constrained by our own…

Yeah, I had similar issues with it. The future Enterprise should have found a small anomaly that appeared to close when they scanned it with the tachyon pulse (which was really its creation point). But also IIRC it was the Pasteur that scanned it in the future so it never really was three scans from the same ship in…

For all intensive purposes, my favorite one growing up was by Steve Winwood.

What?? Teenaged girls rebelling against their "parents"?? That's crazy talk! :)

yeah, that, too. I totally forgot.

There was a lawsuit? I totally missed that. Now I'll have to do some Googling to read about it. What could the lawsuit been about? It was a straight-up parody?

When I tried to think of the last non-Trek or Star Wars space adventure I really enjoyed the only thing that popped into my head was Galaxy Quest, although an argument could be made it was "kind of" Star Trek. :)

Yeah, that's mainly what I was playing off of. :) The other thing that popped into my head was...

I was about to post this, almost verbatim to what you wrote. So I'll just rec your post instead. :)

Actually, now that I think about what a "career" in the future might be I can't help but think of the episode Fifteen Million Merits from the Brit show Black Mirror. If you haven't seen it, it's pretty awesome. A bunch of people earn a "living" by pedaling to generate electricity. They earn merits the more they pedal…

By then I'll be retired and maybe earning some extra income working part time scrubbing mynocks off of the undercarriages of ships.

Yep. Just get your Masters in Library and Information Science. :)

Just to be different. :)

I also love these monthly posts. My only request would be if you could indicate if a title was a Young Adult title or not. But I can usually figure it out when I click the link and do a little more digging. Thanks for doing this, Charlie.
