    What if Star Trek: The Next Generation was just a mass hallucination manipulating the minds of millions of people by Professor X?

      I love Picard and TNG, but loved the X-men and Xavier long long before I ever watched Trek

          Sir Patrick was destined to play Xavier the moment that character was first drawn, McAvoy did a great job IMO but Stewart in the first X-Men movie was like watching my favorite cartoon become real life for me.

            Before Picard season 1 was in production, McAvoy (not sure if he was serious) said he’d like to play a young Jean-Luc.

    See i thought we agreed all media including other star trek shows are just Riker in the Holodeck. He is always just off camera. Also anytime you’re in the same area as Jonathan Franks there is a 50% chance. Your life is just another Holodeck program of William Riker.

      And Jonathan Frakes is a director! He’s not even hiding it all that well!

    This would explain why the 20th Century Fox X-Men movies never quite matched the comics or cartoons. For example, Picard couldn’t remember the uniform colors, so he just riffed on a variations of uniforms he knew.

    So he likes to fantasize about Kamala as his surrogate daughter?

    EDIT: In case you forgot or were unaware, Famke Janssen played Kamala in “The Perfect Mate” as well as Jean Grey in the original X-Men trilogy.

    Maybe he met Melora and was like “I want to try out some sweet wheels!!!”

    Actually both were adventures Emperor Uriel Septim VII had in the Dreamsleeve during his death by assassins who had also murdered his three sons.

    What they didn’t know was that Sean Bean was still alive!
