Title: What could have happened if Picard left
Post by: Psyco Diver on September 21, 2010, 10:25:38 AM
I remember reading a while back that "the best of both worlds" was suppose to be the end of Picard cause Patrick Stewart was planning on leaving.  How would that changed what we know TNG was, I mean really Riker as captain (sigh he's so inept in my opinion) but I like how they were "grooming" him into the position with that commander upstaging him and him coming to terms that he has to change. Its a shame they didn't keep with that later in the series. There were other characters that wanted to leave at various parts, but I think Patrick Stewart leaving would have been something major, opinions?

it's probably typical of British Actors.  they flip between series, movies, plays, etc constantly, so they don't like hanging about in a part too long.

That's why we've had as many Doctors as we have. *chuckles*

Google "typecasting". That'll explain why British actors keep dropping and changing out of roles. :P

All British actors have to be evil in American television. Hence BoBW.

It is however somewhat true...I've noticed most british actors/tresses play evil parts.  not all, but most
