Unnamed government agency.

 
 
 
 

John T. Wilder commanded the Union's 'Lightning Brigade' - a mounted infantry brigade from the American Civil War in the Union Army of the Cumberland.

He was personally impressed by the advanced Spencer repeating rifles and when the government would not pay to arm his brigade with them, he paid out of pocket. Eventually the Army reversed its decision and reimbursed the cost.

Obviously the characters would be the biggest driver for casting actors, but just as a vague namecall Anson Mount seems like a decent choice for somebody the right age to lead an SG team. Stargate has never been shy about swiping actors from Star Trek, so it seems to be keeping in tradition. Given that the final season of Strange New Worlds is currently filming, it's not even an unrealistic idea.

I don't feel bad about playing retro games because it's not like Nintendo gets a cut on N64 games on ebay or that I got from people I know. The N64 is the newest Nintendo system I have any interest in, so I dodge all the issues of supporting the company.

That's all of them.

Scotty should be too though.

Of all the original main characters I accept having aged up actors, Bones is the one that I most easily accept.

That doesn't mean I need or want to accept other actors being aged up just to match. Bones being played by someone a little older is not a huge deal.

He's only ten years older than DeForest Kelly was in 1966. Of all the original main characters I accept having aged up actors, Bones is the one that I most easily accept.

Perfect. I don't notice any lag.

FWIW, I don't like the sequel games nearly as much so maybe the development overall of the first game was better.

Thanks. I recognized your name as doing all that complex DND terrain.

I'm not a hardcore collector. Most of these were kept by me or scavenged from people I know who were clearing old stuff out.

If I ever sit down and get through all the games to the point I'm bored of them, I might try and find a reasonably priced copy of Majora's Mask though.
