Realizing, now, you're only 5 years younger than Patrick Stewart was when he started filming TNG (47)
Which is even more mind-blowing when you consider that a lot for these long-awaited sequels...the protagonist in the sequel is as old, if not older than, their mentor in the original.
I could be mis-remembering on some of these, but...
Creed: Stallone was older in this movie mentoring Apollo Creed's son, than Mickey was in the original Rocky
TopGun Maverick: Tom Cruise is >= Tom Skerritt (Viper) in Top Gun
Cobra Kai: Ralph Macchio >= Pat Morita in Karate Kid
Another Kirk POV: Watching a Beastie Boys song destroy a fleet of alien vessels... Realizing you were playing the same song when you drove your big brother's Corvette off a cliff as a kid.
The oldies station I grew up listening to in my moms car gave me a love for mo-town, 60s rock, etc. I tuned into it on test a stereo at my parents house the other day and Biggie was playing.

That’s all Mark Twain’s fault.

I was watching DS9 last night and they said "Chief O'Brien can't be a day over 38"

I knew I was old when I heard Sell Out by RBF in the grocery store.

That's a young James T. Kirk in the opening of Star Trek (2009), the J.J. Abrams reboot film.

Oh thanks! I'm using Lemmy from a mobile app, so I'm not sure how to see extra info like that

Me: just trying to get some laughs on Lemmy.
You: old peeps want to catch some strays.
I have been listening to the Beastie Boys since 1986. How is that already almost years? Paul's Boutique is probably my favorite album of all time.

That was Beethoven's 5th in C minor here on K019, bringing you the best classical music 24 hours a day. Next up, Raining Blood by Slayer.
