I dunno, just found it hilarious...the catchphrase got me.

Tells you why Stewart quit ST. X-Men is his new money source.

Or he'd rather not go down with the ship... *shrugs*

Nah. He quit ST because he DID ST. He's said lots of times in interviews that he won't answer questions about Picard b/c he believes that his work is self-explanatory.

Hell, after 7 seasons and 4 movies, I wonder if he can seperate himself from Picard anymore.

I see him as picard and hate the character, but love the man. Hes a great Professor X and should be seen, if anything, as the brilliant and noble Xavier, not Picard.

Eh, Picard is cool by me.

Idealistic, certainly annoying, but hell, Stewart is the only good actor in Star Trek (along with Brent Spiner most would say) so he has to get some credit and his character should get some respect (conpared to the others).

Riker. Him I wish someone had killed back in Farpoint.

Stewart took a role limited by the writers and the series and made a good character out of it. Sure, he wasn't a real military captain, but he his character was still well done. Spinner also did Data quite well for the most part, he was again limited by the writing. That is partialy what many people notice the Picard and Data element to many episodes and just about every movie. Very similar to how it was always Kirk, Spock, and McCoy in the original series and the movies.

He tried to break away from it earlier, we accually wanted to be Mr. Freeze in the Batman movie before they hired Ahnold. He would of been a great Mr. Feeze, ofcourse he probly did dodge a bullet, nay, a hand grenade with that movie. I think if he would have had a character in a popular series made movie earlier we would have seen Janeway fighting her evil clone(logic be damned, thats what they would have done) and Voyager battling Sona.

He did do Captain Ahab in a tv version of Moby Dick, and he did do that rather well, I suppose it's the old classical actor in him let out for a walk, whilst you did still get the 'Captain Picard' vibe from him in places, and it was hard to not picture him saying 'make it so' to the whale-hunters and not grin a little...

(what was that line that him and Michael Dorn are supposed to have said? "Mr Worf, I want you in my ready room..." "Trousers down, sir?" "Yes, Mr Worf, trousers down.")

And he did Christmas Carol w/o any of the Captain Picard vibe, and although in the first X-Men, I thought he was still playing the same role, in the new one, he's much more like the Xavier I remember from the cartoon (never read the comic ), doing a much better job, he may still escape Star Trek yet... go Patrick, go!

Now that would have been great, if Joel Schumacher was not in charge of the series at the time. Another director that could be true to Batman could have made a much better movie. Plus if Clooney wasn't Bats, I mean come on he delivered every line with his trademark grin. I am not going to say Burton would have been the man for the job, because he fucked up the ending for Batman Returns with those missile toting penguins.

Keaton was by far the better Batman. He had the moodyness that the role required. Val Kiddimer has always been a shit actor and Clooney is nice too look at in black rubber but wasted in such a role.

If by 'Val Kiddimer' you meant 'Val Kilmer', you better start runnng before I come after you with Wyatt Earp and half a dozen revolvers...

I think we saw Picard at his best in "The Defector".

"You've made your choices, sir! You're a traitor!"

Stewart just all-around rocks my boxers. I saw him in Moby Dick and loved it.
