I sometimes wonder what percentage of the population now thinks of Sir Patrick as Avery Bullock rather than Jean Luc Picard.
Hopefully a big percentage because he’d love that. The fact that he’s a funny guy is something he has always wanted for people to realize.
Sir Patrick is on The Late Late Show tonight and here’s a little picture: Source: https://twitter.com/latelateshow/status/1499226576856125441?s=21
A new short but very informative interview with Sir Patrick has appeared: https://www.hindustantimes.com/ente...eople-close-to-him-tough-101646645596444.html
A very interesting article - excerpts from an interview with Sir Patrick from 40 years ago: https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/history/star-trek-star-newcastle-40-23395216 This is the kind of content I absolutely dig!
Here we go with an article that's basically a transcript of a recent podcast interview Sir Patrick did, but eh, it's always nice to find things in written form: https://www.newsweek.com/2022/04/29...-star-trek-creator-didnt-want-me-1697009.html
HIS FACE how is Jean-Luc so kissable (is that even a word) AND. THAT. GODDAMN. TUXEDO. ARGH. *flips table* I swear those TNG/PIC Trek costume designers knew/know EXACTLY where my weaknesses lie when it comes to Jean-Luc (and Sir Patrick).
I'm normally not into Youtube videos about him (they tend to be badly researched and/or done by the usual hateful nerd suspects nowadays), but this one is really good. It's based on a recent article. If you want to learn more about Sir Patrick and the way he thinks, this is a good place to start. (Just ignore the clickbait-y title.)
I've watched both shows endlessly, and I have no idea what Sir Patrick could have seen in Red Dwarf that reminded him of TNG at all. I realize there was very little sci-fi on the TV in the late 80's, but c'mon!
I've never watched Red Dwarf (I'm not a sci-fi fan) so I can't comment regarding the specifics, but some people speculate about his possible motivations here.
Sir Patrick is attending the Doctor Strange - Multiverse Of Madness premiere in Los Angeles right now: All I hear is his fake!confused "Who's Dr. Strange?" recation in that video
