Jan 12 2006Patrick Stewart Too Old To Fly Starship
Patrick Stewart, a bald actor, claims he has been approached to reprise the popular role of Captain Jean-Luc Picard in another Star Trek film, but worries his age may be an issue if they wait too long. Says Stewart:
Weighty people in Hollywood have come up with a very interesting proposition. But they told me it was still two, three or four years down the road, by which time I would only be able to sit in the captain's chair and not have the energy to get out of it!While Star Trek fans were upset by the news that 65-year-old Stewart may not return to the series, more upsetting was the reminder that they too were sitting in a chair without the energy to get out.
Stewart still wanted back on the Enterprise [Yahoo! News UK]

You know, it is kind of annoying when you're cruising through the cosmos and you come up on some geriatric in his starship moving ONLY at the speed of sound in the left lane.
