acefox1: No mention of the Stonecutters?? Blasphemy!!

Tonight we are here to commemorate our glorious society's 1500th anniversary, and in honor of this momentous occasion ... we're having ribs.

Remove the stone of shame. Attach the boulder of TRIUMPH!

Nr. 3 was Stonecutters. Also, is it wrong of me that I found Sejanus to be sexy?

Are you with me or against me?!?

"..Stewart as Jean-Luc Picard quickly stole the hearts of fans everywhere..."

BS. The first season and a half of TNG was god-awful. After that I started to like it and thought I was growing into the show. Maybe I was too hard on it. Then I saw the first season again. Still awful.

Mr. Coffee Nerves: His voice-over work on "American Dad" as Bullock never fails.

The episode where Bullock thinks Stan is harboring an alien and Stweart says "You don't understand, Smith. When we find him we're going to DO stuff to him. Weird stuff. BUTT stuff." in that stentorian voice of God absolutely kills.

How about the bit in the trans-fats episode where Bullock walks into the CIA bathroom and says "Wait a minute...I smell GOOD things." while Stan tries to finish his fried chicken?

Has it been so long that this has been forgotten?

Lord I hope not. So awkwardly painful it was brilliant.

Diplomats in space wasn't all that compelling. It got better.

It wasn't just the stories, it was the cheesy, hammy over-acting. Even Stewart was over the top. By the end of season two they had toned it down.

I saw him live in Central Park playing the lead in The Tempest. Awesome.

/guess you had to be there.

One of my favourite performances of Sir Patrick. It has two things I like, Patrick Stewart and Land Rovers. Three things, Patrick Stewart, Land Rovers and the music. I wonder if anyone can get the musical tie-in to the commercial. This is FARK, of course you can get it.

Dam fine commercial

acefox1: It was him alone on stage for about 90 minutes talking about his life in the theater and talking about how actors should constantly explore all of the different ways they could play a given role. He was so good that he even made that dry material seem riveting. I still remember it 20 years later.

He just kept talking in one long incredibly unbroken sentence moving from topic to topic so that no one had the chance to interrupt it was really quite hypnotic.

Kiteo, his eyes closed, Kiazi's children, their faces wet

July 13th is my birthday as well. I am 36 years old. Exactly half his age. I am just bragging that I share my birthday with Patrick Stewart (and also Harrison Ford - where's his FARK article?).

Scroll down.

It surprises me that I have another ten, but most of them are listed in this very thread.

/Jeffrey was incredibly underrated.
//It was the second time I believed he was chasing a giant white Dick.
///mrrrowwwrrr

I thought his role on Frasier in "The Dr. is Out" was pretty memorable. He plays gay well.

Its in a museum!

LifeForce and Dune for the win!

Lord Dimwit: The problem is that the miniseries wasn't as faithful as possible. Irulan had way too large a role and...well, let's just say I tuned out when I realized they had Harkonnen speaking in rhyming couplets.

If it's between a raving dimwitted lunatic and a smooth, collected genius madman... I'll take the smooth and collected one. He came across as better equipped mentally to have come up with most of the Machiavellian schemes they had in the book. Plans within plans, plans within plans.

As for the two Gurneys, the Miniseries version seemed more like the rough around the edges with a bit of refinement, while Stewart's was more refined that had been roughened up. Still a very strong performance, he sells the emotional bond Gurney had for Leto and Paul with change to spare... except for the slightly campy "Grrr!" when he grabs Max von Sydow's wrist when he's trying adjust their stillsuits.

simplicimus: or stay as faithful as possible at the risk of boring the viewer.

If you're saying the SciFi version was faithful, I'm not sure which universe you're posting from.

The SciFi version was absolute dreck. Paul was not an angry Aryan Jesus, Mother Helen Gaius Moahim was not an angelic figure, and I didn't watch much past their landing on Arrakis because neither William Hurt nor the woman who played Jessica were bothering to act.

Lynch's Dune, although deeply flawed, was much much closer to the material than anything SciFi produced.

Actually, I recall reading that Patrick Stewart wanted a Doctor Who role. Ah here it is:

Stewart currently co-stars with ex-Doctor Who actor David Tennant in a production of Hamlet for the Royal Shakespeare Company, which has since been transfered to the screen as a BBC Christmas Drama. Stewart will be playing Claudius to Tennant's Hamlet. [12] Coincidently, Stewart has stated in an interview he is keen for a role in Doctor Who, as he is a fan of the program, but has not yet been asked to appear. [13]

And:

Patrick Stewart was considered for the role of the Eighth Doctor and the (canonically Third) Master in Doctor Who [15]. Stewart has revealed in an interview that he might have been considered by producers for the role, but he was never formally approached.

It would appear Patrick Stewart can join the very exclusive club with Nimmoy and Dolly Parton as one of the people that Fark doesn't have anything bad to say about.

/I could have constructed that sentence better
//not going to
///just imagine it in his voice.
////Happy Birthday Patrick.

those books must really REALLY suck

Perchance, do you have any Gatorade? It seems that I left all of my electrolytes with your daughter

So weird, I just happened to flip over to American Dad last night at the exact moment this scene began. Then watched a family guy where PS guested for a brief bit as a baby girl's conscience. "A human centipede!? How ghastly!" had me loling for a LONG time.

List fails without Stewart's "Captain Ahab".

Didn't he also have a brief appearance in "Excalibur" that had some bad-ass quality to it?

I read that as "bad ass-quality".

The books are actually quite good. Frank Herbert was an excellent writer. He also wrote a book called "The White Plague" which was a great version of an apocalyptic plague story.

Teknowaffle: I thought his role on Frasier in "The Dr. is Out" was pretty memorable. He plays gay well.

I was looking for someone that was going to say the same thing. Along with that, it was great that they referenced him in the season 8 episode "The Show Must Go Off".

LOVED him in I, Cladius. One of the most hairist men I've ever seen. More hair on hhis body than his head for sure.
His death seen was awesome. They dragged him down a flight of stairs and slammed his head the whole way down. Never flinched, not once.
