    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

        And there is a official crossover that occurred long before Sir Patrick Stewart starred in the movies.

          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.

    Giving yourself a physical disability in a role-playing game does sound like something Picard would do.

    Makes sense, we already know they’re in the same universe:

    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.

    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.

      Picard is less of an action figure and more of a diplomat figure.

    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!

      Would you say that Sean Bean dies at the end? Is becoming a statue death? 🤔
