:(
So many thoughts and memories...here are some:
First time watching Star Trek in Tunisia in the early 1990s. It was a very hot summer, and the air-conditioned basement of my friend’s folks contained every episode of The Original Series and The Next Generation, and a computer with games like Rogue, as well as American junk food like sour cream and onion chips and cherry-vanilla ice cream, so we spent quite a bit of time there :D
Star Trek TNG’s optimistic view of humanity overcoming its primitive base instincts.
Videogames and VR as nascent versions of the holodeck.
Facepalm, [PicardTips](https://mastodon.social/@[email protected]), etc.
Quotes, conversations, monologues, including [Data’s about death](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ik8i-Ev__s4), with the butterfly.
Background [hum](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYTthcDCTtE&t=59s) of the Enterprise, Ressikan Flute in [The Inner Light](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Inner_Light_(Star_Trek:_Th...).
“[More familiarity with our own mythology may help us relate to theirs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWZeB4gFMQA).”
Jokingly speaking in stentorian English, like a captain, while riding on a boat. A young person asks me where I learned to speak like that. Answer: Watching Jean-Luc Picard in TNG, and reading some VVilliam The Spear Shaker!

> “There is a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat, and we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.”
> “Seize the time... Live now! Make now always the most precious time. Now will never come again.”
Goodbye, Captain.
Thank you.
