I only know Takei and that's because I've forced myself to watch TOS (but after S3, my opinion of S1-2 has immensely improved)

Didn't watch the 2000s X-Men? Romjin was Mystique, looking quite attractive of course. Mean not saying bad if you hadn't but that's how I remember her originally. Plus she was John Stamos wife for awhile. Keep forgetting it's Jerry O'Connell she's married to now who I used to enjoy from Sliders (first seasons then it gets meh). I don't know the other two myself though, but always enjoy Takei when he's a guest star.
The only thing I know about the X-Men is their name and that they were culturally relevant in the west for some time (the latter from personal extrapolation)
That's fair I just thought that there may be the one person who saw X-Men (2000) who didn't know she was Mystique. Cause hot damn she was definitely one of the better live actions than drawn.
Wait are X-Men not culturally relevant anymore? Shit I'm old. They had very inclusive ideals which I think is relevant these days is all for North America currently, unsure how well other western societies are doing but it appears not so great either.
I only hope we can end up as inclusive as X-Men they understood everyone was different but wanted to coexist. Isn't that what we all want? Sorry not directed at you personally just adding cause X-Men rock.
X-Men are a American Civil Rights allegory.
I just think that's acceptance of all is what those rights movement really meant, they just didn't know what it all encompassed at the time. They were fighting for everyone to be accepted and I thinks that's what we should all hope for. Everyone is a person, everyone has their merits. Even if not all good were all people should be treated as such.
They’re already putting up stadium seating for the parade along the roads in Pasadena, it’s pretty wild. Dunno if I want to battle the winter weather, I’ve lived in LA 12+ years and never done the Rose Parade, but the Trek stars make it tempting!
I haven’t done it myself but I know relatives who attended and they disliked the experience. I recall them saying they arrived at 5am just to get a seat.
