Koenig going sucks, Stewart going sucks worse. Hard week to be a old school Trek fan. Stewart was so good though, everything he touched was pretty much gold. Star Trek, X-Men, theatre, Elder Scrolls IV, hell I even love his cameo in Robin Hood Men in Tights! Legend.

Archer Kirk Picard
the three Captains of the Enterprise

I did not realize he was that old
Apparently the dementia and alzheimer came fast like in a few months. Which I guess was merciful that way
RIP
ENGAGE

So I came to say you'd forgotten Pike, but research shows I'm completely lost in the early shows...


who were all the captains of the enterprise? was pike?

Yes, Captain Christopher Pike was a captain of the USS Enterprise. He was the second canonical captain of the original USS Enterprise (NCC-1701), serving after Robert April and before James T. Kirk.

• Robert April
• Christopher Pike
• James T. Kirk
• Willard Decker (briefly in drydock/refit)

Great cameo in Frasier as well!

Just went looking for it. His comedic timing is impeccable

He had a lot of great lines especially at Niles expense. Guy was a good Scrooge as well on screen and on stage.

Someone posted Thomas Lennon (Reno 911) on Rich Eisen talking about this commercial and I had to rewatch it.

"Barrymore, SHUT YOUR FACE!"

From Patrick Stewart''s Memoirs when working on the set of Dune with Sting...

Reminds me of a teacher I had in junior high. She took a vacation to L.A. and a man at a bar asked her to dance. She said yes and asked what he did for a living. When he said he was an actor, she asked if he'd been in anything. He said he'd appeared in a miniseries called North & South. Shortly after returning home, she went to a theater to see a new movie called Dirty Dancing. The star, Patrick Swayze, was the guy from the bar. I don't know that she necessarily embarrassed herself, but she'd presumed he was some kind of extra struggling to make his way in Hollywood. Turns out, he'd be the #1 man on the planet women would die to dance with.

In NaS, one (actually two) of the top miniseries of all time, Swayze played the central Southern protagonist, and this was after his breakouts in The Outsiders and Red Dawn, so he was already a minor star when my teacher met him, but he was rather humble. And if that's not reason enough to like him, my teacher was not especially attractive. He likely just wanted to make her day.

THE Greatest (or 2) miniseries of all time, for me. Bringing it back to Patrick Stewart, Picard's #2, played by Jonathan Frakes, starred (?) in North and South as well (where he began dating his future wife Genie Francis).
