Patrick Stewart Receives Knighthood

[Lord S. Binkleheimer]

So now he's Sir Professor Captain Patrick Luc Xavier?

 

[Attelia]

I love Patrick Stewart, erm, SIR Patrick Stewart, and I couldn't be happier for him. If I had to name a favorite actor, this guy would win, hands down.

Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for the win!
(He was the voice of Uriel Septim VII)

 

[Trebort]

Wait a minute...Wasn't he already knighted? Is this an upgrade?

I could have sworn I heard he'd been knighted a while ago too... hmm. Assuming that's not true, what am I remembering? Blast my wretched memory, blast it I say!

He was told he was going to be knighted a while ago, he only actually received the knighthood from the Queen yesterday.

 

[For.I.Am.Mad]

Picard > Kirk Ohhhhh somebody beat me to it oh well. It's worth repeating. *sniff* I learned so much from Captain Picard.

 

[Abedeus]

Someone had to post this.


Sir Patrick is awesome.

Oh God, that was hilarious.

- Is there any nudity in it?
- Any?
- Nudity.
- Not really.
- *sadface*
- There could be.

I would call him sir without it, you don't talk to Patrick Stewart as if he is one of us common folk. (Though I do hate titles, aristocracy, monarchy and all the trappings they involve.)

 

[carpathic]

Ooohrah!

 

[ShadowsofHope]

Sir Patrick Stewart is just oozing of amazing, of course.

Good on you, Patrick! You wholly deserve it all!

 

[Caligulove]

Finally! It's about time..

 

[PipBoy2000]

Can this man get any more awesome?

 

[Sabrestar]

can someone explain what the Knighthood means and where it came from? Cause im terribly confused on what just happened

Purely honourary, it's part of the system that the British Empire / United Kingdom has used to recognise its most distinguished citizens for centuries now. The titles are primarily feudal relics. As I recall knighthood is the step beyond OBE (Officer of the British Empire) and CBE (Commander - this is why James Bond is sometimes referenced in the stories as Commander Bond, as he had a CBE).

Can this man get any more awesome?

Well, he could get a peerage, which is the next step beyond and would give him a seat in the House of Lords. Because if Sir Patrick Stewart is awesome, Lord Patrick Stewart would be a Crowning Moment of Awesome. (Lord Stewart, Baron of Enterprise?)

 

[Tharwen]

Wasn't he nasty evil man in the Thunderbirds film too? Anyway, well done him.

Terry Pratchett, Patrick Stewart... so who's the next awesome Brit to become a knight?

Positive feelings aside, I'm practically vomiting with envy.

Wait... Terry Pratchett became a knight? When did this happen? How did I not notice?

 

[DeathWyrmNexus]

Kirk would beat Picard in a fight, but Picard would talk him out of it first.

;-)

As a fan of Kirk's, I salute you since that sounds about right. *salutes* Very happy for Sir Patrick.... Wow, I almost typed Picard. >_>

LORD Patrick Stuart? Oh my. You win.

Make it so!

I have to agree, this would kick so much I might actually go blind from it and I'm not even close to being a fan of Trek at all. Damn I love that man and his voice though, sheer awesomeness in one person.

 

[Rockman900]

Great that they've done this, Patrick Steward really deserves it.
