Hellsfury Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 The European style of date probably stayed with him just like his thick accent- you generally keep traits from home to connect you as such. I also agree with werecow- there's very little point in faking such a letter-ENterprise has been cancelled indefinitely and although there are rumours of a new movie Stewarts letter has about the only effect of spawning threads like this and displaying what a beneficiary of years of fandom for his good work thinks about something he's been involved in from 87-02...it's nice of him to write though...I wonder what the rest of the casts from the various series think (I even wonder if Willy Shatner is chomping at the bit to wrangle himself the Enterprise....again....) :p :p :p what a sad day that would be....

Ulysses Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 I doubt that this is his letter...when you look at the hand writing and the date format does this look like someones hand writing that has been well educated? nope. it looks more like a note you leave on the fridge door...

Stranger Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 The handwriting is very sloppy, but as I said before, it matches his signature. Well educated people do not necessarily possess superior handwriting. Have you ever looked at a prescription written by your doctor? It's amazing those people can read their own handwriting, let alone the people at the pharmacy. :p They must have had a special reading handwriting course or something. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonHelton Posted March 18, 2005 Author Share Posted March 18, 2005 I want to believe that Stewart wouldn't dis the fans so.....Blatantly. Werecow is right........This benefits B&B. :stare: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamp Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 dd/mm/yyyy makes senses as it is in assending order. star trek will never run its course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen worse handwriting from someone who is almost certainly better educated than you or Patrick Stewart (PhD level, applied science). Seemingly random captialisation, words run together or with big spaces in the middle... Not pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atsheel Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Has anyone noticed the letter is dated 11/05. Last I checked that's in november and it's March. I think someone is trying to make fans mad at Patrick Stewart. If anyone should be in trouble with fans it should be Jolene Blayock.

vystral Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 the european standard for dates is dd/mm/yy and is widely used by foreigners as well as highly educated people. That means March 11, 2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon1603 Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Why would patrick stewart star his letter Dear Mr Moore, surely he knows moore personaly and would call him by his first name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Just one question, when it addressed to Mr Moore...is he refering to Ronald D Moore who is now doin battlestar galactica and not enterprise. Correct me if i am wrong thou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karimw786 Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Did anyone else notice that this letter appears to be dated nearly 8 months in the future? Or I suppose he could be using the funny European method of writing dates in the form of DD/MM/YY, but since he lives in the states Im sure that something as insignificant as our dating system would have rubbed off on him by now. 8 months in the future? Holy crap, don't take offense, but that's one of the dumbest things I have heard in a long time! :) I believe that it is only Americans who write month-day-year! Even Canadians write day-month-year (not to mention a big part of the world)! But don't feel bad... I grew up in America (now I'm in Canada), and I didn't know that either until I came to Canada.

trekfreak04 Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Just one question, when it addressed to Mr Moore...is he refering to Ronald D Moore who is now doin battlestar galactica and not enterprise. Correct me if i am wrong thou That's what I thought as well, but I read the source article again and found it was supposedly a fan by the name of Steven Duncan Moore. This is the page that had the article. I think VonHelton posted it previously... http://www.scifiuniverse.net/news/2005/03/15_04.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thanatos355 Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 We know Patrick will never appear on the screen as Picard again' date=' so what does he care what happens to Star Trek?[/quote'] we could always hope though. i dont want the tng movies to be over already. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekfreak04 Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 I hope that they will have a few more TNG movies as well. I'm just not sure Stewart will participate in any of them though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thanatos355 Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 how the hell would that work though? maybe have a 'family reuniun' on the titan, while picard is away at sf command? why wouldnt stewart be in any new trek movies? has he stated this somewhere?

trekfreak04 Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 It was mentioned in a tv guide interview several years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekfreak04 Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Of course, the person doing the interview could have asked the question wrong though. I've noticed it has happened several times before during other interviews with other Trek stars, and things ended up being 180 degrees opposite. I'll just silently hope that he does opt in for another movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zara127 Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 I think part of the problem with star trek in recent years has been a lack of film support for the last three television series. I would love to see a movie making use of the cast of Voyager or Enterprise (DS9 ended a little too conclusively). The films bring the series to an audience who wouldn't necessarily watch the tv shows as there is still a considerable nerd stigma attached to such that doesn't exist in film science fiction. Besides when the android has very visably aged its way past time to pack it in, old people no more belong in action movies than they do in porn. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picard is first & foremost a diplomat. It's what he's best suited for. :stare: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
