back in 1987, Patrick Stewart really had no idea how big Star Trek, and specifically Jean-Luc Picard would inspire generations of people for the next 3 decades. incredible stuff
As he’s stated before, himself and others were extremely cautious about trying to continue the franchise after Kirk. They believed the originals couldn’t be replaced. And they were right, but what they did instead was create an entire new generation of fans, ones who were just as dedicated and loyal.
@@LostUrgency it's interesting to compare and contrast the approach to TNG vs the approach to Trek these days. On one hand, it is always cool when the newer shows make references to the past...but sometimes it is really hit or miss (Lower Decks and Prodigy do it well, Disco absolutely face-planted, and Picard is unbearable) TNG starting from fresh so that it wouldn't always be compared to TOS was the right decision for the time. Like you said, there's a reason why TNG has such an enormous fanbase
He is from a town extremely close to where I live (Sheffield, England). As a fellow Yorkshireman we couldn't be more proud of him. He even does the Yorkshire Tea adverts with Sean Bean. He hasn't forgotten his roots.
I've heard that initially he was embarrassed of his Yorkshire accent when he was a stage actor in London. But over time he grew to really love his roots and origin. Bravo.
I was about to say not extremely close, as I am from the same area as Sir Patrick, but then I realised thirty minutes in the car won’t seem like a lot to most people
@@eeaotly Well it's the truth. My great grandfather lived to 86 and his hair was full.and not a touch of gray and he didn't have wrinkles. His son my grandfather well his hair was also full and died with his black hair which was interesting because he went completely white at age 19 due to shock. Went to bed with black and woke up with white. But that was due to the shock of being one of two people who lived after the plane they where in exploded during landing. But after years of white hair in his old age it turned Black.
To be fair, star trek has some of the silliest episodes intertwined with some of the most thoughtful episodes in tv. *looking at you detective episodes from the 50s on the holodeck*
You really have to appreciate a person who knows nothing about something and has no interest in it but then comes to respect and admire it upon seeing how important it is to people.
Makes me so sad to see how old he is now. Such a fine actor and gentleman. I have been privileged to grow up watching him grace the screen. Thank your Sir. ❤
Star Trek inspires. As a young man, I dreamed of being an engineer because of Mr. Scott. After three degrees in Chemical Engineering, I can say that Captain Picard’s crew continues to inspire. The mission is not over; it has just begun.
I've been a Trekker since 66, and chose Chenical Engineering as my degree too. Not because of Mr. Scott; however, I was probably more influenced by Leonard Nimoy.
I've seen an interview with James Doohan where he said that he'd been invited to adress the students and faculty at an engineering school. This was done every year by someone who had made a significant contribution to engineering. He asked: "You know I'm not actually an engineer, don't you? I'm an actor who plays an engineer!" They told him that each year they asked the students what had inspired them to choose engineering and the majority of the new students of that year had answered "Montgomery Scott." They felt that very much counted as a significant contribution to the field.
Modern Star Trek inspires too - it inspired me to remove eyeballs as a torture tactic and ninja kick my enemies whilst swearing about how cool science is
@@Jacqueline_ThijsenSame with Spock / Leonard Nimoy. He told a story of getting a VIP tour of Jet Propulsion Laboratories from a young astrophysicist, who explained everything using lots of technical terminology. Nimoy chuckled and reminded his guide that in real life he was just an actor. The young man replied “I’m sorry, it’s just that I’m really nervous. I’m mean, you’re the reason why I became a scientist”.
Some say that an actor of Stewart's caliber was wasted on a dinky sci-fi show. I say that his presence was, not a sole reason, but a large one, why TNG was so influential on the following decades. And the show never slowed him down or shackled him--he was acting his heart out in whatever he pleased the entire time! Still is! May we have many more years of our dear friend Sir Patrick yet to come.
Leodegrance in Excaliber: Lot: Aye, Leondegrance! Join us against the boy! Leondegrance: I saw what I saw! The boy drew the sword. If a boy has been chosen, a boy shall be King! Lot: NO, I challenge that! Sir Ector: The sword has been drawn! Uryenes: [to Leondegrance] Are you with us, or against us? Leondegrance: Against you!
Sir Stewart was in a weird one called Lifeforce. Not sure what prompted him to do THAT of all movies. But the first movie I remembered him from was as Gurney Halleck from Dune
His acting and performance in his role as Captain Picard was so good, I think one could argue that it also served as a good example and training material for good leadership in any workforce environment.
He is very old now, and yes I am worried too. that being said, he played a character that has positively influenced countless generations of people around the world for more than 3 decades now...that is a legacy that is truly incredible. When that sad day comes when he does leave this earth, he can look back on a life well lived.
Ja, auch ich befürchte dass du damit recht hast. Während der ganzen letzten Jahrzehnte ist Patrick Stewart kaum gealtert und in den letzten drei bis fünf Jahren dann plötzlich sehr schnell. Vielleicht steckt eine Krankheit dahinter, über die er nicht spricht. Jedoch wurde Sir Patrick durch diese Krankheit bewusst, dass nicht mehr viel Zeit übrig ist und "ST: Picard" diente in Wahrheit als Abschied von seinen Schauspielkollegen und Fans.
I saw Patrick at a convention in 1991, I think it was. He told us that his jeans weren’t completely dry and he had to put on damp jeans before coming to the convention. I always admired his sense of honesty and humor!!
I always loved Picard! He's my absolute favorite captain. And I thought all 3 seasons of this last show were excellent! Especially this third season. It was like going back in time! The poker game brought back wonderful memories! Really hope there will be another series by Matalas!
i really enjoyed all of picard. I think people nowadays fell into a trap of endlessly hating on stuff pretty easy and its easy to see why. because most of modern cinema straight up sucks and deserves to be hated on. But people got so used to it that they forgot to enjoy things too. Was picard one of the greatest shows ever? no it was not, but it wasnt that bad either compared to other things. It was fun to see all those character back together.
People didn't like it because it COMPLETELY betrays Star Trek. It's values, and it's aspirational nature. Your analysis is very shallow if that's what your takeaway is.
@@emperorgizmo3014 I thought some people didn't like it because it was too "woke". I've been surprised the past few years at how many conservatives claim to have been fans of 90's Trek and especially TNG. They must have overlooked the abundance of episodes that were critical of the conservative and reactionary way of thinking about various ideas and issues. Perhaps their own takeaways from the show were shallow. Also, if they don't like it because they think it betrays Trek's aspirational nature, then did they also dislike DS9 for the same reason? Gene Roddenberry died in late 1991 and Star Trek definitely changed in tone afterwards (which could be better or worse, depending on what you're looking for, but in terms of what Trek was originally envisioned to be, I think it peaked with TNG). I held off on watching Picard because I bought into the negativity and didn't like what I heard about certain characters dying (or dying again...) but after watching it, while I had some issues with the second season in particular, it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it'd be. I actually liked the series overall and don't regret watching it. It doesn't measure up to the gold standard that is TNG, but no other Star Trek before or after has in my opinion.
@@emperorgizmo3014It improved season by season I think. The main issue was the implementation of ideas. S1 had some really excellent ideas with the Romulan cult and the android discussion, but we just didn’t get all the potential mined from it. It was also extremely cool to see things like the ex-B program. S2 putting Han Solo Seven of Nine front and center with the rest was an extremely good move and I really enjoyed Jurati’s arc and the idea of this other Borg faction. S3 I will openly recognize walks a much too thin line between fan service and good writing, but there are a lot of moments which were exhilarating in that season. My main gripe with that was the Borg AGAIN? But I think at this point we can’t ask much more of the TNG cast and that timeframe. Maybe set a series a bit after that which can explore all the story arcs we still have yet to see.
@@megavolt67old trek took subtle and smart approaches to contentious issues. New trek just travels back to 2024 and fights immigration enforcement and a Republican Party stand-in. It’s just so transparent and stupid. Old trek didn’t force a viewpoint on you. It showed you both sides had their own reasons. And that’s why people call it woke now-because it’s propaganda written by upper class elites that don’t even like old trek or understand it at all, and they don’t seem to care about keeping in the spirit of appreciation for all life and an understanding that different cultures have different viewpoints. They have a rigid view of how things should be and if you don’t have that then you get a phaser blast to the face. Bad guy go boom is not Star Trek.
Kirk started it all but I found him too hammy and arrogant. Janeway I found ok. Cisco I found good. But Picard is the one that brought ST into the cool zone.
SUCH A MAGNIFICENT ACTOR. I'VE BEEN DELIGHTING IN HIS FILMS MY WHOLE LIFE. 50 YEARS. MY FIRST EXPERIENCE OF HIM WQAS IN EXCALIBUR. WHAT A GREAT FILM. MY LATEST WAS LOGAN. THANK YOU SIR PATRICK FOR ALL THE GREAT PERFORMANCES.
Just love that fact that this classic RSC actor from stage and silver screen took on such an iconic Sci-Fi role. Picard is such a pivotal character in the entire Star Trek canon and Patrick Steward gives him such life and authenticity. Never tire of watching his performances.
In my mind I have been inspired by Cap Picard in so many things I've been thru. And Yes it difficult to see him get old. I wanted him to be the strong, focused Capt Jean-Luc Picard forever.
He looked old 40 years ago and didn't seem to age since. That's why we're surprised now that he's actually getting old. We thought he would look like TNG for 100 years to come
Just started watching the second season of Picard after a two year hiatus since I watched the 1st season. My grandmother was a massive Star Trek fan and watched it all since the 1st show. She absolutely loved TNG. My grandmother passed away in April, and yesterday, I finally picked up where I left off. Rest Peacefully, Grandma. You would have loved what their doing and what they're about to do with ST.
Thank you for being such a wonderful part of my childhood! Aside from good parents, it was the character you portrayed that helped me learn what it is to be a good man!
I remember the first times l saw Sir Patrick Stewart was in a British sci fi vampire movie called " Life Force " and l also saw him in the original Dino DeLarentis " Dune " film where he played " Gurney Halleck ". 😊
Stewart, the producers, the writing staff and everyone else involved in TNG really elevated Star Trek to something greater than the sum of its parts. I don't care what anyone says, there is some truly great television in much of Star Trek created. Any series that can create characters that we truly care about is doing something right.
The first time I ever watched Patrick Stewart was when he played Sejanus, ambitious-for-power roman general, in a then not-pro-woke BBC's super production series "I, Claudius". He was superb as a villain. He was then young and vigorous and damned sexy. Father time is inflexible with all of us.
A truly great actor. He plays likeable characters while being himself extremely unlikeable. Typical Hollywood bombast, full of himself, but damn do I love his characters.
It’s truly amazing that a short-lived tv show back in the 60’s would captivate so many generations of young people for so long. Star Trek was a show ahead of its time. My little brother and I watched every episode. Kirk, Uhura, Mr. Sulu, Chekhov, Bones and Scotty and last but not least Spok were in our home daily even the terrible movie versions 😅. Then it was Pickard and the gang, then DS9 and Voyager. I started out watching Enterprise but lost track of it. Love 💕 the James T. Kirk reboot-those are good 😊. Love the Pickard series. This last one was spectacular!!!! I see him in the reruns😊
It's because NBC couldn't appreciate and comprehend what they had before them in TOS. But Lucille Ball did! Without her, Star Trek would never have seen the light of day!
He truly was surprised by how well he was received. He even said once that he had no faith that the job would last, so he didn't bother to unpack anything he brought with him for the first 6 months...just lived out of boxes and suitcases.
Patrick Stewart at the time did not know how big of a deal Star Trek was to the Fanbase, and to the Pop culture at large. And ironically, years later, he would probably experience that again playing Professor X in the X-Men movies and the admiration of the Marvel fans.
He has definitely made an impact on the Star Trek universe I really hope his legacy continues I’m not to thrilled with his political views but he’s phenomenal as an actor and artist
I was inspired by Sir Patrick Stewart. I began drinking Earl Grey, and continue to do so to this day. I also became a pilot, hoping to join NASA, although that never came about. I am now, though, a Captain myself at a major airline. A job I love. Thank you, sir, from one Captain to another.
I was born in the early '80s and grew up watching TNG. I've seen the whole series many times but The Inner Light always hits me the same no matter times I've seen it.
What a brilliant show,, I have to admit I'm still watching it over and over to thus day.. picard riker and data are probably the best ever front 3 characters in a show ever.. not to mention how good all the cast also are..

Stewart, the producers, the writing staff and everyone else involved in TNG really elevated Star Trek to something greater than the sum of its parts. I don't care what anyone says, there is some truly great television in much of Star Trek created. Any series that can create characters that we truly care about is doing something right.
Dear scientists, forget the mission to Mars. You gotta create a synth body for Stewart, Takei, Koenig, Shatner, et al to inhabit so we dont lose them.
But we already know their future. Their talking heads will be preserved in Jars on Futurama.
Do we HAVE to keep Takei?
@@TheOnyxSpy Maybe he won't mind sharing a jar! LOL.
No, we must create all USS Enterprises then….do that.
That brought a little tear to me eyes.
The first time I ever watched Patrick Stewart was when he played Sejanus, ambitious-for-power roman general, in a then not-pro-woke BBC's super production series "I, Claudius". He was superb as a villain. He was then young and vigorous and damned sexy. Father time is inflexible with all of us.
A truly great actor. He plays likeable characters while being himself extremely unlikeable. Typical Hollywood bombast, full of himself, but damn do I love his characters.
It’s truly amazing that a short-lived tv show back in the 60’s would captivate so many generations of young people for so long. Star Trek was a show ahead of its time. My little brother and I watched every episode. Kirk, Uhura, Mr. Sulu, Chekhov, Bones and Scotty and last but not least Spok were in our home daily even the terrible movie versions 😅. Then it was Pickard and the gang, then DS9 and Voyager. I started out watching Enterprise but lost track of it. Love 💕 the James T. Kirk reboot-those are good 😊. Love the Pickard series. This last one was spectacular!!!! I see him in the reruns😊
It's because NBC couldn't appreciate and comprehend what they had before them in TOS. But Lucille Ball did! Without her, Star Trek would never have seen the light of day!
A wonderful actor, and by far an even better series of the original one. Fantastic!
😂😂😂😂😂
Would you look at that, there really were people out there!
😂😂😂😂😂
Jean Luc Picard was arguebly one of the greatest character of Science Fiction....
Some people have jorda peterson as their dad in mind.
Many more think their dad is picard
He truly was surprised by how well he was received. He even said once that he had no faith that the job would last, so he didn't bother to unpack anything he brought with him for the first 6 months...just lived out of boxes and suitcases.
@@technewsfortechnoobs he wasn't well received
Best captain ever!!!! Jean-Luc Picard taught me what it was to be a leader
It still baffles me to this day the things he’s willing to say for money on American Dad 😂
I love TNG. Too bad there won't be anything like it anymore
Patrick Stewart at the time did not know how big of a deal Star Trek was to the Fanbase, and to the Pop culture at large. And ironically, years later, he would probably experience that again playing Professor X in the X-Men movies and the admiration of the Marvel fans.
He has definitely made an impact on the Star Trek universe I really hope his legacy continues I’m not to thrilled with his political views but he’s phenomenal as an actor and artist
Sir, I was 10 or 11 years old when i watched TNG followed by Voyager. Star Trek helped shaped who I am today. So thank you ❤
Hey, that's Gurney Halleck.
Wonder where his battle-pug is?
@@thomasel9171 I heard it went rogue and killed a guy.
No that is Karla ex KGB spy chief!
Sir Patrick Stewart is my Starfleet Captain. Shatner's Kirk may have been most other people's Captain, but Captain Picard is who I started with.
He deserves all the fame and fortune.
It makes me sad to see him getting old
A true legend. Hats off to you Sir Patrick
I wasnt on board for next generation when i was 14, but when i saw it on tv i was happy.
I was inspired by Sir Patrick Stewart. I began drinking Earl Grey, and continue to do so to this day.
I also became a pilot, hoping to join NASA, although that never came about. I am now, though, a Captain myself at a major airline. A job I love. Thank you, sir, from one Captain to another.
I love Patrick Steward as much as SpongeBob love Patrick Starphish. But every time I hear him speak I involuntarily want to clear my throat.
LUV U Patrick 🌹❤️🌟😁👏👏
I was born in the early '80s and grew up watching TNG. I've seen the whole series many times but The Inner Light always hits me the same no matter times I've seen it.
Omg, we as me love you Patrick 😍
It humbled him greatly, he became a much better man because of the trek
"I saw what I saw! The drew the sword. has been chosen, a shall be King!"
Captain Jean Luc Picard….. The man is a legend 👍👍👍💪💪
What a brilliant show,, I have to admit I'm still watching it over and over to thus day.. picard riker and data are probably the best ever front 3 characters in a show ever.. not to mention how good all the cast also are..
"So I walked on..." "Wow."
Was thinking the same thing. The timing suggest a lack of caring for the conversation or interest in the material.
Love him!
