I forget how young the new generation is and that they can't imagine a world where Patrick Stewart isn't the commander of the enterprise.
It's the same reaction I get (even though I was born in the early, early 70s) but it's the same reaction I get to Leslie Nielsen in "The Poseidon Adventure" when he was still a serious actor.
After his massive career in comedy, it's ruined that scene for me in Poseidon Adventure when he sees the wave coming and says something like, "Oh my God!" I lose it every time because I can only imagine him delivering stuff as a punchline. Even though he's being serious, I can't stop from busting out...
