Make it so number one! Patrick Stewart to reprise role and return to Star Trek.

[westwall]

Regardless of his Shakespearean acting skills, Mr. Stewart will never achieve the sheer badassery of the one and only Capt. James T. Kirk. Plus, William Shatner loves this country and spent most of his life here, Stewart has nothing but upper-class-British-snob complaints about it, even though America has made him richer and more famous than his native England ever could.

Shatner can neither act, nor sing.

So true! But he is, and will always be Captain Kirk!

Seven saved that series IMO. Jeri Ryan is one of the more underrated actors and she was superb in the role. I hated how janeway would make these imbecilic decisions and then magically it would all work out. Like I said, I thought she was the weakest of the Captains. Yes, she had a few good scenes (thanks to Mulgrew who is an outstanding actor in her own right) but I always felt the writing for her character was overall poor.

Well, I agree with you on Janeway, but frankly, Jeri Ryan is overrated as an actress, which is why she has done little else since then.

Also, they pretty much turned it into "The Seven of Nine Show" after Season 4.

Facts in evidence say otherwise. This is her filmography SINCE Star Trek. The only time she ain't workin is when she doesn't want to be...

Okay, almost nothing on there I have ever watched, except that episode of L&O:CI and I think she was on a couple of episodes of Major Crimes.

 

[Synthaholic]

actually, i thought that was an awful episode (not that there are any good Voyager episodes) because she acted completely out of character.

In that episode Chakotay tells her why she’s acting out of character: she’s pissed that another Starfleet Captain is acting that way, disobeying the Prime Directive. He says "Kathryn, this isn’t like you".

 

[Synthaholic]

Regardless of his Shakespearean acting skills, Mr. Stewart will never achieve the sheer badassery of the one and only Capt. James T. Kirk. Plus, William Shatner loves this country and spent most of his life here, Stewart has nothing but upper-class-British-snob complaints about it, even though America has made him richer and more famous than his native England ever could.

Shatner can neither act, nor sing.

His twitter feed is a hoot.

Can't act? Didn't you see his acting in Spock's funeral scene in Star Trek II? Or the way he was so jolted, he stumbled back and collapsed in Star Trek III when he found out his illegitimate son was just murdered? Those are some famous Shatner acting moments.

But Shatner's acting style is so much entertaining, hammy fun, regardless of how old it is. I think you're taking his acting a little more seriously than it's supposed to be. I say loosen up and have fun with it.

 

[Gracie]

I adore Sir Patrick and I, too, don't give a damn about his politics.
LOVED him in Frasier episode, lol.

He's a fantastic, fascinating actor with many great, epic, iconic scenes in Star Trek - I'll never take that away from him. But as a matter of personal taste, I just found Capt. James T. Kirk more fun. Even when I put all politics aside, Kirk was the more bombastically entertaining character,

Kirk was great...but Picard was the epitome of Captain.

I can certainly respect that; Picard was more of a professional statesman and Kirk was more of a wild, unpredictable maverick. It's an apples & oranges matter of personal taste, I guess.

And he has major attitude even now. He won't sign autographs, tells people to get the eff out of his way and in general is an asshole. Just as he was when he was younger and wore a girdle.

I never cared for Voyager.

No matter how hammy, I always had the impression that we as viewers are intended to have as much fun watching his hammy acting as Shatner obviously had doing it. Like I said, it's not supposed to be taken that seriously.

Can't disagree but I love his portrayal of a starship captain. Kirk will always be the real number one but those days are long gone sadly. Much like a lot of my favorite rock and roll bands. Washed up with little skill left now but a force to be reckoned with in their day.

In my older age I find TNG to be too talkative and gutless.

Did you like their movies?

I like them better than the originals with the exception of the search for spock

Wrath of Khan, Undiscovered Country, 1st TNG movie.
Most of them were mediocre at best.
I just outgrew the whole PC thing.

I hated every Star Wars movie.

And that's my point. Her change in character comes completely out of left field and is almost immediately forgotten.

You know, instead of what would happen normally, if your leader let a bunch of your compatriots get killed by aliens, and they'd all be looking at you sideways for the rest of the way home.

But the whole of Voyager was like that.
