“Oh yeah, as if the Shat would ever be secure enough in himself to go without the “hair hat”. We’ll never see THAT in our lifetime!”

LMAO!!! Should we start calling him “The Hat” instead of “The Shat”? LOL!!! :-D

I know it’s all subjective but my take is that Patrick Stewart was brilliant on Next Generation and Avery Brooks was mediocre, at best, on DS9.

Many of Stewart’s performances in TNG were superb when he was given something to work with. But so many of the scripts were just drivel. Stewart is possibly the finest actor to work on any Trek incarnation. If it weren’t for him and Avery Brooks, I might not be a Trek fan today.

Patrick Stewart did some remarkable work on TNG. Because the series was
a syndicated series there was no chance for an Emmy or other television
awards. A great deal of hard work went into the Star Trek incarnations with
no acknowledgement whatsoever. Stewart is right. Most of what is produced
in Hollywood is crap. Way too many studio politics and egos to contend with.
Most movie and television viewers have the attention span of a gnat. As long
as we support the production of garbage that what we’ll get. Quality is not
hard to come by and we as viewers should demand it.

I know, lets wait for 15 or twenty years to make up for Nemesis and get everyone’s hopes up that Patrick Stewart will come out of retirement for a cameo for the new movie STARTREK:STARGAZER. Cast it with all new actors and…

Oh wait, that has been done

Re: 80

He was saying that the work that HE did in ‘Hollywood’ lacked substance.
He was not dissing ‘Hollywood’ films in general…

Although if he was dissing ‘Hollywood films in general’, I could see that he has a point…

And if he has no point in making the comment, what does it make your point on commenting on that?

I’ve seen Stewart on stage and met him after. The man is a great actor. He likes to stretch his legs. Trek and X-men didn’t allow him to do that. What’s frustrating him is that his mate Ian McKellan still gets to do all sorts of meaty stuff, and that’s in part because he stayed in England. You don’t have to live in Hollywood to still get movie roles.
