Make it So...Nerd Alert

Congratulations to Sir Patrick Stewart on his Knighthood. Star Trek fans know that Captain James T. Kirk as played by William Shatner is still the greatest Captain (or actor or both??) of the Star Trek Universe, but Picard comes in a very close second. Perhaps if Sir Patrick had played an "evil Picard" at some point in the alternate "Mirror, Mirror" universe, he would have risen to the top as Captain. Even William T. Riker played his double as Tom Riker, although not as evil as the alternate Kirk. However, in the episode "Yesterday's Enterprise" we witnessed a less diplomatic Picard in a war with the Klingons, as he jumps out of the 'big chair' and takes over the tactical station during the last battle scene, just as the Enterprise-C escapes. Shoot first, negotiate later, just like Kirk.

Yes, The Ham is a bit of a Trekkie. I can be a bit of a food and wine geek too. But food and wine geek is cool, while Trekkie isn't.
