Amazingly, there is more than one moose in Canada.

There are two, and they are named Betty and Bert.

last I heard he had a decent job and a house with a roommate somewhere in Minnesota

I’m sure he keeps in touch with his parents, but life and thwarting the sinister machinations of Cold War Eastern bloc spies gets in the way, you dig?

iirc in one sequel there was a journalist who was interested in the kid's survival story and wanted to write about it in detail and on site so they journeyed together into the woods to recreate the experience - hilariously, the journalist stipulated that hatchets were an unlikely tool for a person to have in an emergency situation so the kid had to use knives or some such

anyway the fella has some kind of stroke so it becomes a time-sensitive river journey back to civilization to get him medical aid

I read both of these and I'm not sure why.

Hatchet taught me that if someone farts in an airplane they are moments away from death. I wish I’d retained at least one other detail from that book.

When you're hunting for... whatever fowl it was that hides as tree stumps, you need to look for the shape rather than hoping to see feathers, and you also need to approach it laterally, zigzagging back and forth, so it doesn't run away.

I think there was only one what-if timeline in Hatchet; the one where Brian had to winter over in the wildnerness. The others followed on from either that, or the original book.

...I did not know there was a fifth one.

Just got around to watching Star Trek: TNG's first episode on Netflix. Interesting and the space jellyfish were cool, but wow that Fu Manchu looking guy at the trial. Again, the Post-Nuclear Horror is an interesting concept, but wow that stood out.

Ha, ha. No I've never got around to watching anything Star Trek apart from a couple of the movies, so figured I'd check it out after seeing innumerable clips on youtube.

Just so you know, the second episode of TNG is one of the worst of the whole series and pretty racist to boot!

TNG didn't get good until Season 3, other than the odd good episode here and there in S1&2

That's the third episode. The second one is where they redo a TOS episode but hornier, and also before you know any of the characters.

The first 2 seasons' reputation is deserved, but fortunately they are not unwatchable. They're weird and often bad, but still pretty entertaining. I think I actually enjoyed season 3 a bit less, as a whole, because it's way more polished and occasionally fantastic, but often kind of boring.

The best season 1 episode is when they land on this planet that's booby trapped to hell and back and it turns out to be a long-abandoned demo for a planetary security system, and Picard saves the day by telling the hologram salesman that he's ready to buy one

Spoiled that since someone's watching it for the first time.

It's more like the batting average improves. Bad Star Trek episodes can happen any series, any season, any time.

The Winter timeline ends with Brian being unable to deal with modern society and willingly becoming a hermit again while he's still legally a minor which is actually just a really depressing tale of a guy who can't get adequate support for post-traumatic stress.

Then he kills a bear.

TNG's future was definitely not secure early on. Frakes grew a beard and then the show took off so people would sometimes joke that it was Riker's beard that saved it.

He actually confirmed that in a variety interview - his agents were all "Oh, it won't last a year, get paid and move on" and then it lasted for a million years. Apparently Ian McKellen tried to warn him away from Star Trek but he didn't listen.
