Sir Patrick Stewart on Meeting Gene Roddenberry, 'Star Trek: Picard,' & Ian McKellen | In Studio 

Lol

I would definitely watch it!

Better watch James May assembling toy trains. 😉

1000% yes.

Unknown Shakespearean actor?

@oneraceonedestiny Hence. "To me" not across the board. Not in general. The most powerful line to me. One must think about the moral intentions behind the line

@oneraceonedestiny I think I may have missed something, I replied by mistake I think? My first reply was made from my hospital bed. I'm leaving now. I think I may have been a bit confused. Or possibly short tempered. Or just not paying attention. Sorry if I made something out of nothing?

@oneraceonedestiny thank you

"i've no idea where you got such pedestrian genes"

We must protect the Enterprise-C until she enters the temporal rift. And we must succeed! Let's make sure history never forgets… the name… Enterprise.

If you like, think of these times as Man's Pre Star Trek Moment -- complete with our own Q. Mankind either ends war now, thus paving the way for a marvelous, worldwide civilization, or men are forever forbidden from the stars -- perhaps, even our souls, bound to Earth. Q, just a Q-wizical as ever, says, "I don't believe men have souls. If they do, it's barely discernible. This time, Jean-Luc, it's not up to you and your crew to save the day. It's up to them!"

@@humboldthammer what in Qonos are you talking about?

@@CrownRock1 Never mind.

He's such a great actor we all just ignored it

Jean-Luc stands for Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John -- but religion had evolved a lot by the 24th Century.

and that is how Stewart pissed away his entire carere

Grey Man, I like your thinking and if I had my choice then I would say, Make it So. Cheers from John, Australia.

@@joandar1 Cheers!

"The Orville". Just try it. At first it feels like a Star Trek parody but the over the top superficial bits got toned down a couple of episodes in and then it just feels like mostly lighthearted Trek. Seth MacFarlane is a die hard Star Trek fan and a lot of the original cast, writers and producers are involved too. I like it.

Well said!

amen!

and Dr. Armstrong.

Well spotted... I saw that too, and for good reason. Sir Patrick is a very sensitive, compassionate man who has such deep feelings. Discovering how 'Ginger' had gone to get help when Sir Patrick was being sick in the bathroom shows that connection. Discussing on here how 'Ginger' had that compassion will hopefully connect with other kindred souls.

Or non-fictional, perhaps.

@petulant perhaps, perhaps not. Have you any proof of this?

@@vic5015 I'm not sure that any evidence is required, per se. Patrick Stewart himself has said on many occasions that, _in his own opinion,_ he was something of an asshole during the early days of TNG (I'm paraphrasing of course), rubbed several people up the wrong way and took longer than perhaps he ought to (again, his opinion) to wind his neck in, put his ego to one side and show some basic manners. In short, he used to be a dick head. Thankfully, he learned his lesson many years ago. The people who work with him these days get on with him like a house on fire, and I believe he's been something of a mentor to some of the younger actors.

That is what make our grandparent's generation the greatest generation ever. Most people from our grand parent's generation are really humble, despite they are nearly all really wise, they still remain extremely humble. Our parent's generation on the other hand is insanely arrogant and that is why they screw up. Despite there is a saying "Age come with wisdom" the thing is that "Age doesn't guarantee wisdom and doesn't provide you with infinite wisdom" this is because (1) Despite they say practice make perfect, some people can perfect a task after only practice 3 times, other practice 10 times and still don't get it. (2) It is like when you play a computer game, everytime you complete a quest, you get experience point, but you can't get unlimited experience point, the same with age, live for 40 years, 50 years or 60 years, only mean 40, 50 or 60 experience point not unlimited experience point (3)there are certain thing you can only learn via practice and experience, but there are other thing only can be learn by training, education or research. Our grand parent's generation understand this, but our parents generation doesn't understand it. A lot of people from our parent's generation they think they got unlimited experience point and think they are experts on topic they know nothing about (because those are things they can't know via practice or experience but require training, education or research and they got no training, education or research on the topic) for example, when George Bush Junior side line all experts on the Middle East and replace them with a bunch of head nodding yes man, when himself also know nothing about the middle east. As a result, our grand parent's generation are all really wise, because for their whole life, they are always learning new skills and then practicing what they learn and humble to ask for advice when they come across topic they know nothing about and by doing so, they gain new skill sets and absorb what other people learn through their experience to become their own, as a result, by the time they reach old age, they are all insanely wise. Our parents generation all they do is go around screaming "I ain't 40 years old for shit!" "I ain't 50 years old for shit!" "I ain't 60 years old for shit!" so, when they come across thing regarding skill set they don't have or require more experience point then they got, they are not able to resolve it and yet, they think they got the wisdom to deal with it and won't ask for advice from people that actually know what they are doing, so they screw up and they won't absorb skill set and experience point of their adviser (I mean even if you need 100 experience point, 2 people with 50 experience point working together that is still 100 experience point) and when our parent's generation screw up, they won't learn from their mistake, because they think it must be everybody else's fault, due to their believe of "I ain't 50 years old for shit! So, it can't be my fault!" When our grand parent's generation screw up, they reflect on their mistake, so they don't make the same mistake the next time, hence, they get even more experience point. As a result, when our grandparent's generation is e.g. 50 years old, they got 70 experience and 10 skill set, our parent's generation at 50, only got 30 experience points and 5 skill set. Yet, they think they got infinite wisdom, no wonder they screw up. Patrick Steward is also the executive producer of this show, in recent years they try make a few new star trek series, but the series seem to be hitting a writer block and can't make anything good, Patrick Steward know just what to do, in fact you can see from clips of ep 1 already something. Instead of keep on imitating the old star trek and done something that be done to death, what he do is create a new story line, within the star trek universe that is exciting for the audience and something modern audience can relate to.

@@juiweiyang1033 Generalize much?

Yep.

Yes. He was one of two characters in "Dune" that grabbed my attention and really held it. I thought: "Listen to that VOICE! Who is this guy? He is great. Wow!" Then I heard he was going to be the captain of the new Enterprise-D. I thought he was a brilliant choice, and let's face it, he was. The only character in Star Trek to have not only a second series, but to also have said series NAMED after him!

He was also in “Excalibur”. I had also seen Mr. Stewart in other things, before “Star Trek. The Next Generation”. Even though I am American. I have always been an “Anglophile”. I watched quite a bit of British and Australian television and movies.

The writers of the show did that homie

@@Captain_Brown_Beard they did, but Picard really sold what they wrote.

@man0z prove. It.

@@vic5015 They never talk about how their "utopic" society works. EVER. They just say it does. -What do people do all day? If there is no money, and everything is free, why are there people working shifts at bars? Why is there an academy with selection, if everyone is equal? -Why would anyone (besides a power-hungry psychopath) decide to dedicate years and years of his life to become an admiral, when the only payoff is the position itself, and all the troubles and stress that come with it? You could live a happy life at home, with all your needs and desires met (unless you desire POWER, now that is a recipe for disaster). -Everyone can have everything. Then, who gets to have a boat on the lake? Everyone? Then there is no more lake.The most important people? So not everyone is equal? You just substitute money with another metric, basically doing the same thing but with a different name? -If there is no private propriety, how does Picard have his vineyard? How did it become HIS vineyard? Dude, not even in a magical fantasy land where technology makes material needs free, socialism manages to make sense. And that is what they were (and are): a bunch of crazed cultists with no sense of reality or humanity recklessly pushing disastrous ideas. To seal the deal, he wrote in his story a GOD that gave the thumbs up to the federation "values" ( Q ). Basically like scientology. Now, you can choose not to believe these facts: it's a common defense mechanism in stupid people. Good stories, but like their ideas that is what they are: STORIES.

The actor or the character?

Someone once said, "Don't try to be a great man, just try to be a man."

Funny enough, in another interview he said, that he liked acting, because he was running away from being Patrick Steward and could pretend to be someone else. In the end we all share the same struggles...

*Likeable person.

Patrick is the top.

One of the best scenes in all of Star Trek.

She didn't finish explaining what she was asking that he thought it would be. She cut herself off mid sentence and mentioned the meme and internet, so Idk that I'd assume where her original question was going.

Then congratulations for learning this valuable lesson, hopefully one day it will serve you well with dogs.

@@phoenixblueknight Oh I've had dogs for decades. My old golden retriever came to visit me just now as I typed this. The hardest part of having dogs in the family is watching the 'dog years' pass so quickly.

@@Miata822 oh, sorry about that, but I am glad you have a great dog companion to keep you company! Yes, watching your dog companions pass away through sometimes short lives may be tough but the experience you’ve had with them will always be worth it.

yes, indeed. this comes from a good episode. please remember me, I literally can see him in that scene before me. what is the title of that episode Picard been tortured and said this line..?

Yep Episode 10, 11 season 6 two parts. Chain of Command

lool..... I hope so

William NEWTON oh please . . . NO!

Picard will be so heartbroken. Make it so.

I really don't think the writers are that imaginative. (unless they can throw in some more f-bombs along the way!)

oh man Q dropping in would be epic

If you can get past the double negative, you do live in that world!

@@nagualdesign Thanks for the English lesson, you just brighten my day. Thanks for that...

Of all of the possibilities, there's some amazing alternative that we are living without and don't even know about it

@@SynCelestial Very true. Imagine if Arthur MacDonald had played Picard. It might have been amazing, and Patrick Stewart would still be a not-so-well-known Shakespearean actor. Luckily for Patrick, Arthur was never even born in this reality so was never offered the job.

Pity the actor that may have to play Picard's role in a future where Sir Stewart would be no more.

Frakes is great. Insurrection was not.

Frakes is a solid and competent television director, but that doesn't make him a capable showrunner, or a solid and competent cinema director.

Well said.
