Which is so weird to me because he was a Shakespearean actor and so I just assumed that he was happy with and understood the stodgy intellectual role of Picard. Much like William Shatner, Patrick Stewart is also a huge honkin' jock that just so happened to be into nerd poo poo as a side hustle.

Knormal posted:The first post-TNG thing I saw Patrick Stewart in was this otherwise-forgettable cheap action movie where he plays a terrorist who takes over a prep school to ransom the kids, but then one kid does a Die Hard. He completely chews the scenery and seems to be having the time of his life. But then not long after that he got cast in X-Men and got firmly typecast as the wise old sci-fi grandpa across multiple franchises, so I'd imagine the low-budget action offers dried up, and no one's going to make a big-budget action movie with an older bald British man. It's a shame, because it is fun to see him in these roles, but I think a lot of that comes from the contrast of seeing him do more serious (well, "serious") work. For a moment I was all "wait Patrick Stewart wasn't in Toy Soldiers???" edit: holy hell Wil Wheaton was.

I can understand the need not to be pigeonholed as a Picard or a Shakespearean actor, which is why I'm not bothered by "action hero Picard". It's a change of pace.

I like Action Picard when it's in the context of "a guy who has learnt to use wisdom and diplomacy but occasionally reminds you he was a handful back in the day". Like when you find out that your dad was a bit of a bad-rear end before you came along and ruined his life with responsibility. Little things like him swigging the whiskey that Scotty warns him about are great little touches, too. "You may test that assumption at your convenience" is the most Picard way to say "gently caress around and find out" and sums up what Action Picard should be. But yeah... there's a line between "the old man has a scene to remind you he's still got it" and "Picard suits up and takes down a warbird in a single take corridor fight". Also, for some reason my brain doesn't recognise Patrick Stewart in anything outside of TNG or XMen and always replaces him with a bald Timothy Dalton.

Pretty sure people in TNG era have evolved beyond that sort of crass urge, he would've been having wholesome thoughts about the sonic shower which can do all that and more anytime he needs.

In that regard, I find Generations and First Contact's versions of Action Picard highly excusable primarily because the old man gets his rear end mulched by Soran and needs to bring in a ringer to properly beat him, and First Contact is a survival horror film, so everyone is running and gunning from the Borg in that one. Also it's the Borg, the biggest "push here to make the man explode with rage" button on his entire being. Totally reasonable that he'd want to shoot, stab, blow up and skull gently caress all of them if he could. Trauma like that... does things to even the most rational of minds.

Lmao It would be freaking hilarious but at the same time perfectly fitting that by cutting away all the sex scenes from TNG porn flick you just end up with a mediocre to OK TNG episode that has a runtime of 20 minutes. Its like James May making porn; the first 40 minutes is the plumber properly inspecting, explaining, and fixing the kitchen sink. EDIT: Somehow that part also ends up being the more interesting part of the flick. Der Kyhe fucked around with this message at 20:27 on Feb 8, 2023 |

Not just drinking song but the Royal Navy’s official song. The real Picard would never. He’s French for Christ’s sake! It’s a clear sign he has been replaced by an alien impostor: Patrick Stewart.
