Ian McKellen should appear on Picard

[SpaceTurkey]

How about it? Even if it's just a cameo it would be awesome.

 

[XCV330]

why.

 

[SpaceTurkey]

Cause he's cool as hell, great actor and he's one of Patrick Stewart's best friends.

 

[Relayer1]

Seems reasonable.

 

[Dukhat]

Was he in LotR? Because they already have Legolas with Elnor, so why not some other Rings character?

 

[Kor]

He should play a long-time frenemy of Picard. They have completely different views on solving the galaxy's woes, with McKellen's character having the more extreme approach. But every few years, circumstances force them to work together. And every time, McKellen ends up going off on his own again because they can't quite reconcile their differences.

Yes, he played Gandolf the wizard.

[Dukhat]

Yes, he played Gandolf the wizard.

He could play Flodnag, an ancient Romulan wizard.

If the rumors of the Maddox recast are true, he should have been Maddox.

He reminds me more of a young Elrond with his dark hair, the sword (Elrond's favored weapon, too.) and even his name starts the same and Elnor is just missing a "d" to have all the letters of Elrond, too. Legolas is just so blond, his most iconic weapon is the bow and otherwise he fights with two long knives.

As I said in another thread Ian McKellen needs to be the new Borg queen. If anyone has seen McKellens dame Maggie Smith impersonation, that is how I would want him to play the borg queen

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

Quark could be Gollum & Morn could be the Goblin King.

This is the Picard-related Star Trek character I never knew I needed in my life but now I want it to happen with all my heart.

 

[picardjean-luc]

He could play Flodnag, an ancient Romulan wizard.

And Elnor and Narek are apparently his former disciplines

 

[picardjean-luc]

I think Wallace Shawn (Grand Nagus Zek) should be the Goblin King.

Morn should play the guest of Gollum's pub who never speaks up because once he speaks, he never stops talking

 

[Doctor Bombay]

I think Ian should be the Romulan Praetor in exile.

 

[picardjean-luc]

I think Ian should be the Romulan Praetor in exile.

We already had a Romulan senator in exile encountering Picard in this episode. It didn't go very well for him....

 

[Relayer1]

Tomalak.

 

[DEWLine]

McKellen guest-starring in some capacity, I'm fine with. If it happens.

 

[Lord Garth]

I like it. He should be rival of Picard's going back to his Academy days.

They do have a lot of magnetism on screen together. Almost like they are telepathically linked.
