One of the greatest architects of the Golden Age Star Trek was Ronald Moore, a young writer who got on board Next generation In his third season and helped shape franchise for decades. These days is best known as a showrunner for excellent Battlestar Galactica Reboot Series, but when his script for “connection” brought him to TNG, he was just a young and inexperienced writer. And when he visited the set during the filming, Patrick Stewart offered Ronald Moor shocking advice: Captain Picard needed to get into more struggles and was more often laid in future scripts.

Patrick Stewart and Ronald Moore

Of course, it is so funny to what makes Patrick Stewart’s advice to Ronald Moor is that fans tend to think of an older man as a dignified, formal … essentially embodiment of Picard himself, except for his formal way of talking. But Moore found out how informal science fiction The icon could be when he heard Stewart’s cheerful advice for future scripts with a rating: “

To make it even more fun, it was actually the first time Patrick Stewart And Ronald Moore has ever met. The young writer remembered that the actor was “very kind and friendly when he learned that I wrote (” The Bonding “),” and Stewart wanted to know if Moore was writing another episode. When Moore began to describe his next scenario (“Defentor”), Stewart seemed to be interested in the plot, but soon reminded the writer that Picard needed to lay down more often and get into more struggles.

Patrick Stewart then turned and left from Ronald Moor after he dropped this fun advice, and we think he was fully aware of how shocking these words came from Captain Picard’s mouth. Despite the best efforts of the actor, however, was not the young writer he spoke to, by far shocked. Moore remembered the story and came to the conclusion that many fans would agree with: “Now he’s the captain of the business if you ask me.”

Now we know what you are asking: Patrick Stewart has won his wishes, and Ronald Moore assured that Picard got more action scenes, both in the bedroom and outside? Surprisingly so much, yes: Moore wrote “tapestries”, the famous Episode Flashback for Picard Star academy the days. Although it is not the most sensual episode in the history of the trek, we will see the future captain to flirt with more women and (thanks to the strengths of Q) will finally conclude an agreement with Marta, a former classmate for whom he always contained secret feelings.

And Patrick Stewart received a lot of other action scenes for Picard thanks to Ronald Moor: The writer wrote “Gambit” (in which Picard had to overcome and overcome a group of merciless mercenaries) and “command chain” (Picard survived prolonged torture on top spy mission). Moore also wrote most of the episodes of TNG’s clingons (which proved that the captain was not intimidated by the threats of warriors with half of his years and twice his strength) and co -authorized “all the good things” (the final of the series in which time -blind Picard must save the entire universe).

At first glance, the advice of Patrick Stewart Ronald Moore seems to be a little youthful, and some fans think it has laid the basics for the “Action Star” version that we see in TNG films. Looking at the list of scripts Moore, which complied with requests for the actor, we cannot help, but note that it is some of the best episodes in the whole series. And maybe Stewart knew something about his character soon that none of us would guess: Picard is really best when he gets to direct his inner James T. Kirk.
