I heard on the Nerdist Podcast that this was a private video Stewart made for Gene Roddenberry for his birthday and it was never supposed to get out... Oops!
This was made by Patrick Stewart and the series crew for Gene Roddenberry's birthday, probably in 1990 (by his costume.) He does say "Gene, you're adorable," but I think a lot of people don't notice, thinking he's saying "Gee, you're adorable." Sir Patrick carries a tune pretty well here and in a couple of episodes. Almost makes me disappointed they never did a full musical episode.
This is not from any episode, it was a little sketch Patrick did for Gene Roddenberry(Star Treks producer and creator) at his birthday party. I'm pretty sure it's bonus material on one of the DVD's.
well the thing is that hes origonaly a shakespearingly trained actor and well the idea is... that stuff rocks
as for this, people arn't that sure, some said he was bored, others that it was a birthday preasent for gene roddenbury and others still say it was a dare they didn't thnk he'd do.
@aBIOgene515 I guess I never watched it to notice, though I did see a couple episodes. It looked like an all right show, but it had no Elizabethan speech that I could pick up on.
@custommadename Not necessarily. If you get really bored you just have to let out some energy and Shakespeare didn't write too many musicals... Although Othello probably could have been done as a rap...
From what I've heard they organised it for Gene Rodenberry after he fell ill. After he died his widow viewed and loved it and it was included in the Star trek DVD's in memory of him.
@blackburn55 as Jon Frakes said he is a silly guy and the more time he spent in the US the sillier he became...well that's what that country does to you I guess
This reminds of that "Weapon of Choice" music video, where Christopher Walken starts by slouching on a chair, dances (awesomely) and ends up back on the chair.
That vid & this vid are both made of complete WIN!
Yes, i think this was for one of Gene's birthdays. Picard is probably my most favourite character in Star Trek , but then again i've never watched more than 10 episodes of DS9 or Voyager. Not many from TOS, either. I guess we'll be seeing what Kirk is supposed to be like young, in a month...even though it's not supposed to be the same.
I'm pretty sure it was a video made for one of the cast's christmas parties. If you listen closely at the start he dedicates it to Gene, as in Gene Roddenberry
This IS the name of the star base, and to express it properly, you need to sing it and do dance it.
