IS this a demotion? Or a promotion….He went from School Founder…To Captain of a Spaceship…To… A KNIGHT????

Unless you haven’t heard, Patrick Stewart, most currently of Family Guy fame, has been knighted by the Queen of England. THR:

“Star Trek: The Next Generation’s” Capt. Jean-Luc Picard — becomes Sir Patrick in Queen Elizabeth II’s New Year honors list, which also includes a knighthood for theater and film director Nicholas Hytner.

“This is an honor that embraces those actors, directors and creative teams who have in these recent years helped fill my life with inspiration, companionship and sheer fun,” said 69-year-old Stewart, who recently returned to the British stage following a long career in Hollywood that included playing Professor Charles Xavier in three “X-Men” films.

I hope she didn’t watch the most recent Family Guy he voiced in. Congrats to Sir Patrick Stewart. Now? Time for him and Sir Ian Mckellan to joust over King NerdBastard
