    I’m ashamed to say I’ve never watched Star Trek but I intend to do so at some point. He was the captain in The Next Jeaneration, right?

      You’re on the internet. You’re on Lemmy. And you never seen Star Trek?

      Good Lord.

              Hmm…it’s a different actor in a different scene, but the reference checks out.

          Honestly I can understand that. It’s pretty overwhelming. Personally, if I were you, I would start with TNG and see how you like it. But… Give it two seasons. There’s some gold in the first season but at the same time from absolutely horrible shit, including one of only two episodes that I can’t rewatch when I burn through the series again.

          But then it really takes off in season 2. Hell that one has measure of a man which is not only one of the best episodes of Star Trek it’s one of the best episodes of anything I’ve ever seen.

            Yeah I was actually gonna start with TNG. I know I’m absolutely gonna be obsessing over it for the rest of my life once I do. It is 100% my kind of show I already know it.

              Dead on with code of honor. No on the second one though. That one’s honestly so bad it’s fun. The other one I can’t bother with is the riker clip episode.

                Oh right I think I had completely suppressed any memory of the clip episode. And it was only in like season 2, not even long enough to really earn a clip episode.

                  And they actually made the fact that it was a clip episode part of the plot.

          The saying goes, start when Riker gets his beard which is season 2.

          Season 1 might put you off and you can come back to it.

          If you want to start in season 1, and decide to bail, just jump to season 2.

          If you enjoy 2 you could always go back and catch up on 1

        I really don’t know. Probably not? I know when I went to college I almost got kicked out for not having seen Star Wars. I was able to stay by bingewatching all 6 episodes and passing a quiz.

    Oh it gets better: he’s got a Knighhood (so, Sir Patric Stewart) and started as a Shakespearean actor, who are quite the pretentious clique within British Theatre.

    I like to think that his time doing relaxed Sci-Fi for the masses in the US made him a more well rounded human being.

    I’m kidding, I know who Picard is and I know who Patrick Stewart is … I just saw that red and black and white thing and it’s the first thing I thought of.
