Patrick Stewart: New Star Trek Show a ‘Response to Brexit and Trump’

Patrick Stewart is kinda stupid…

newswars-

Actor Patrick Stewart announced he would reprise the role of Jean-Luc Picard in a revival of Star Trek , and he’s doing so as a rebuke to President Trump and Brexit.

Stewart said the new CBS streaming show Star Trek: Picard would critique the galactic body of planets known as the Federation becoming “isolationist.”

“In a way, the world of ‘Next Generation’ had been too perfect and too protected,” Stewart told Variety. “It was the Enterprise. It was a safe world of respect and communication and care and, sometimes, fun.”

Stewart says the new show “was me responding to the world of Brexit and Trump and feeling, ‘Why hasn’t the Federation changed? Why hasn’t Starfleet changed?’ Maybe they’re not as reliable and trustworthy as we all thought.”

Stewart went on to say that he believes the U.S. under Trump and the UK under Prime Minister Boris Johnson are “completely fucked.”

“I’m not sure which one of us is in the most trouble,” he says of Britain and the US. “I think it’s actually the U.K. I think we’re f—ed, completely f—ed. There is a time limit to your f—ed state, which is four years away.”

  1. I couldn’t figure out whether that that dirt-bag wanted to look like the Oscar statue or a giant dildo until Hillary used his head to rub her snatch on for luck!!

  2. …this is actually weird because he did an episode of the TNG series called “The Drumhead” that could EASILY have been about the incessant persecution of President Trump…

    …sounds pretty freaking conservative here, too…

    …watch the whole episode if you have time, it’s almost shocking at how apt it is to the obsessive way the Left goes after the President and his supporters, and PS doesn’t even appear to REMEMBER it…

  3. Oh good grief! We have Woke Star Trek already with ‘Discovery’ on CBS. Let that show be where wokeness lives and stop messing with any new Trek.

    Thank god Amazon hasn’t woked ‘The Expanse.’ Yet.

  4. I taped the first episode of the new show ‘Deputy’, and started to watch it. Here is the script:
    Sergeant Hollister, let me make this clear for you.
    Did you or did you not warn residents of this community about our joint operation with ICE? I might’ve mentioned it.
    Bill, you jeopardized 30 million in federal grants.
    Who the hell do you think you are, Sergeant Hollister? I’m a lawman.
    Never took a dime.
    Never put my hands on somebody unless I had to.
    Never pulled the trigger when there was another way.
    You wanna hunt gangsters, human traffickers? Well, I’m your huckleberry.
    But you’re asking me to drag families from their homes so you can eat from the federal trough.
    When did you lose your way, Jerry? At least I know what century it is.
    Well, I swore the same oath he did.
    I didn’t swear it to you.
    I swore it to them.
    And I don’t give a pinch of dry turd how those folks got here.
    We’re all immigrants.
    I gave my word I’d protect them.
    Even if it’s protecting them from you.

    Less than a minute in, I deleted the recording and will never watch it. Absolute garbage, the imaginings of a writer sitting at a desk and reading CNN headlines.

  5. Isn’t his middle name Methuselah? Why, that’d make his initials, fittingly, PM…wait, no, what? It’s Hewes? Oh, no, that’s not right either. Sir ‘Old Baldy’ (or Ser Beef Stew, as you may) fetched that little whimsy out of his faerie-dust laden sporran, too! Actually, his parents decided to stop while they were ahead and left him without a middle name.
    Thespians! Ever spending their lives over-reacting to compensate for a cornucopia of imagined slights and aggrieved affectations!

  6. The original Star Trek was capitalist – they weren’t afraid to step on toes to get things done, the opposition’s feelings be damned, including the politicians at Star Fleet.

    Next Gen was socialist – it was all about feelings and being nice so “undocumented” aliens didn’t want to bitch slap the Federation and its lackeys. One episode even had them considering letting Wesley (much as he deserved it otherwise) be executed for an environmental crime – stepping on flowers. They pretty much covered every leftist talking point the progs had thought up at the time.

    Stopped watching that drivel when they brought in that “Q” nonsense and haven’t watched a ST episode or film since.

  7. The entertainment industry gets its marching orders directly from Hell. The industry will warp your mind and try to make you hate America and white people.

    I have no use for that pint-sized balding Scotsman, nor most of the rest of the acting “profession”, whether male, female, or some other sex we haven’t yet heard about. He can go jump in Loch Ness and drown for all I care.

    Recently, Ann Coulter was criticized by a self-described leftist Jewish queer because Ann had the temerity to write a column slamming perhaps the absolute sewer of TV shows: the Special Victims Unit (SVU), because white males are always shown as the rapists or other sex deviants. The female leftist Jewish queer is the sick mind that writes for the program.

    For those that believe that TV may still be worth watching, just tune into SVU. If you have any Judeo/Christian values, be ready to retch.

  8. He’s not doing this as a response, he’s doing this for the money. His career cratered after X-Men finally wound up his role. X-Men itself is pretty well squeezed dry). He’s always been one of those British actor lefties (Daniel Craig is another one) that preach socialist mantra but don’t even come close following it nor do they support it with their own money.
    I think this new Star Trek is going get flushed fairly quickly because the fans will look at just how aged he’s become (as well as all the cast from former Treks) and switch off in droves.

  9. Well, that’s one show I sure as heck won’t be watching.

    Saw a clip of the Dumb-@$$ on the view just after he became a U S citizen saying “WE must resist.” Jerk times infinity.

  10. Well, crap. I was hoping someone had noticed the shit ratings they were getting on Discovery and Picard was going to be addressing that.

    Guess I should have known better. They’re just going to be doubling down on stupid.

    I’m glad I heard about this before I bought access to the new show. So, thanks for that Mr Stewart – you saved me some money, there.

  11. who gives a rotten turd what this faggot limey has to say?

    I hope his white privilege is about to catch up with him in londonstan the next time he visit’s a gay nightclub and finds a group of untouchable muzzies waiting to fuck him up just for being a fag.

    Then he can wonder why Starfleet did not come to his rescue or his #1 that was taking a #2 did not answer his woman-like screams to beam him up!

  12. Never cared for, nor watched TNG beyond the premier and first several episodes. It was just off…way too in your face PC.
    Out of curiosity I just took a peak at IMDB’s listing for this mess: Space Balls! They pulled Seven of Nine out of retirement! That Borg babe and Sub-Cdr T’Pol (SG: Enterprise) are pretty much all I can recall from the Post Original Series efforts. (Well, I do seem to remember a parasite symbiot chick from DS-9, but that was just kinda weird).
    Still not gonna watch it. Well, I said that about Voyager too. Held firm until the 3rd season. (I know, I know…sigh…what can I say?)

  13. Shame. Great voice.
    He’s done some funny stuff.

    Too many drugs and too much booze when you can’t differentiate between life and fantasy.
    Another one of those guys, in a dirty bathrobe, yelling at passing cars and throwing bottles.

    “A mind is a terrible thing to waste.”
