    Nice to see that you're still around.

    Star Trek

    As I said, people change, and often do unexpected things. Where Picard was at the beginning of Picard was in the realm of possibility, afaic.

    Star Trek

    Sorry I didn't get to this earlier. Just as Lizzie claims with DS9, you have to stay with it for it to make STS (Star Trek Sense). The first season plot and character development was slow for a while, but necessary for what led up to the last episode, and season 2 - in fact, during the buildup...

    Who wears/wore porkpies?

    Interesting that I saw this thread this morning, as I had just decided last night to dig out my pork pie for today (I haven't worn it in months).

    The main Raiders mod - is never made.

    Oh, I agree completely, and for the same reasons. The hat was definitely a feature. And being that I was fascinated by the genuine period hats in the period films, the RotLA hat was like a bomb that went off in my head. And tbh, at least around here, pre-RotLA, hats were for old men that...

    The main Raiders mod - is never made.

    Definitely not the first thing I ever saw a fedora in, either. I grew up with the '4:30 Movie' here in New York, which in the '60s, featured recently old movies, which meant the '30s through the fifties. Lots of fedoras, which I was fascinated by at an early age.

    The main Raiders mod - is never made.

    I'm not sure why this thread popped up in my New Posts list given that the previous post is dated 4 years ago, but regarding an earlier post, it is true that Indiana Jones is not responsible for us all wearing hats now, but it sure did reignite general interest in them when the RotLA was released.

    Wayward boot tongues

    You could have a shoemaker rivet or sew in a small strip of cloth or matching leather to run the laces through.

    What about TJ Hooker?! Captain Kirk in a cop uniform.

    On Retirement And Hats

    I retired but went back work full time, but in a totally different industry. The main difference is the complete absence of stress. It's great. I need to be somewhere, on a schedule, more than occasionally. I started out there wearing fedoras, but I was getting them dirty too often, mainly...

    Star Trek

    That basic thought went through my mind as I watched Picard, but I chalked the changes up to the fact that people change over time. I know that I have, and I could ultimately believe that the Picard in Picard could be the Picard in TNG after 20 more years of life experiences that we have not seen.

    I have posted this elsewhere (not on TFL, though), but it sort of fits here, so . . .

    Star Trek

    If you want to stay in timeline-chronological order, begin with Star Trek: Enterprise (~100 years prior to TOS), then Star Trek: Discovery (~10 years prior to TOS). Then watch the original pilot, The Cage (1964), and then TOS (begins 1966), then the original 5 movies, and then TNG and those...

    How many hats do you have?

    Maybe that's the difference. I don't really 'collect' anything. I buy things that I like and will use, and (usually) stop when I have what I think I want/need. Inevitably I have too many examples of some items. Re the hats, there are some that I don't wear that I do like to look at and...

    How many hats do you have?

    I have probably about 30 felt hats, and I wear less than half of them on a regular basis or at all. I should sell off most of the ones I don't wear, but I can never bring myself to do it.

    End of Manual-Transmission Era - Honda Accord

    My first car ('71 Corolla] cost me $750 in 1977. My daughter's first car ('04 Civic] cost $4995 in 2015. And mine needed less work to be roadworthy.

    End of Manual-Transmission Era - Honda Accord

    Until I retired, I drove to work for 30 years in crushing rush hour traffic with manual transmissions, and wouldn't have it any other way . . . the trannies, not the crushing traffic.
