@@deanwoodford2017 I disagree, I watched that whole interview with a smile on my face, he was nice and easy going with the pair. Plus I think the pair were pleasantly surprised to get interviewed by someone who didn't go full Star Trek nerd on them. It's a shame that the interview was not longer and they could have discussed some of Patrick's earlier film work on Excalibur and Dune.
I have been a huge fan of Sir Patrick Stewart's character Jean Luc Picard since watching star trek as a kid in the 90's and rewatching the whole series start to finish now and I find it hilarious that until I heard him mention him taking a stroll with his wife just now, I had thought for decades that Patrick Stewart was gay! WIFE?! Why did I think he was gay for all these years?! Can someone help answer this for me? I thought he was dating Ian McKellen so that could be the reason LOL
Very few celebs make my heart skip a beat like Jeri Ryan. She is simply enchanting. I just hope she is not a crazy Libtard because I will have to cancel her.
This guy has the perfect combination of British humility and knowing what he's talking about. He doesn't zing the guest ever and makes everyone feel comfortable. And...he lets them answer the question. Like being interviewed by your favorite child.
The catsuit in my opinion makes Jeri Ryan's achievement even more amazing - Seven of nine started off as fan service. And then she evolved into such a deep character!
@Suffer No Fools No, he _actually watched the show_ and saw that she got the best scripts, the most interesting character development, and actually played the role very skillfully. She's a great actor. It's too bad nothing much else any import or novelty happened on Voyager aside from Seven's journey to rediscover her humanity.
Yet unfortunately for some of the cast (at least Kate Mulgrew) she remained just some eye candy the producers wanted. Sure she was very beautiful and very sexy but I liked how she was written. Maybe her appearance was a necessary evil.
That part of the interview confused me. I have no idea what memes are, or what a "gift" is in that context. Something to do with Twitter, which I don't use.
It's all about asking the right Q, maintaining a good flow by letting them talk and just have fun with the talk. In a way it would be like being on a date.
Stewart and David Attenborough, Ian McKellen and Christopher Lee. All celebrities that I will feel genuine remorse when they die, they have influenced my life so much.
SIR Patrick, Ms. Ryan THANK YOU BOTH for your time and insight. In addition to your flat out acting ,SIR Patrick, I LOVE your voice-overs in other shows/cartoons! YOU, Sir Patrick, bring a LIFE and HILARITY to those roles, that ONLY YOU can provide!!! THANK YOU!!! You are TRULY a multi-generational KNIGHT! ... and an inspiration to EVERYONE!
That must have been one of the best kinds of chemistry I ever had the pleasure witnessing between interviewer and interviewee. Lovely! They are class acts - all 3!
For as bad as the first three seasons of Voyager is, Seven of Nine really did something that changed that show. There were a lot of great episodes after she came on board and Seven + the EMH doctor are two of the greatest characters all time in Star Trek.
Ridiculous comments. The show didn't suddenly change when Seven arrived, nor did it become more mature in tone. Voyager was actually the most consistent Trek show of them all, with great episodes from the beginning, unlike other Trek series which had a poor first couple of seasons. Seven was certainly a great character who brought a lot to the show, and it could be argued that the show had many of its best episodes in the 4th and 5th seasons after she joined, but I'd say the big boost to the show was the evolution of the Doctor, who in season 4 now had his mobile emitter so could get involved in more interesting storylines. Some of the most successful stories are centered around the Doctor such as "Tinker Tenor", or "Blink of en Eye" - or even episodes where the Doctor is removed from Voyager entirely such as "Living Witness" and "Message In A Bottle". I won't deny that Kes was a poor character. And Seven (and the Borg aspect of the show) is certainly PART of why Voyager was great. But she didn't "save a terrible show" as these comments are suggesting.
@@Scripture-Man Consistent as in formulaic since the Berman formula was so well established by then. TNG had its growing pains but that was part of what made it more interesting seeing how great it became (and it's my all time favorite TV series). DS9 took "inspiration" from Babylon 5 and expanded upon the Cardassian and Bajoran stuff from TNG but it did eventually figure out its own identity. Voyager for the first few seasons felt like the B-sides of TNG (and once again opened with Bajor-related drama). That's not a bad thing per se, but Seven helped the show to develop more of a noticeable sheen. She was sympathetic while still being a badass. And looking attractive doesn't hurt. I agree that the evolution of the Doctor helped as well and I figure most people would say those two were the most interesting characters. It is curious though that the producers of both DS9 and Voyager felt the need to make big fourth season changes in attempts to kindle more interest. Both shows never reached TNG levels of success and I think part of the reason is that people felt a bit fatigued by the Berman formula post-TNG, though being so far from the late 90's, people now wish we had thoughtful and yet grounded sci-fi like that again.
@@jimbopumbapigsticks yep that was him...i know. Thats what i was saying. Wyen you said "stupid interviewer" i wanted to make sure you knew who he was.
Jeri Ryan still looking as fine today as she did in the 90s, she could probably still get away with the catsuits. Also quite funny that Stewart has clearly never watched a minute of Voyager.
“Get away with” is perhaps the wrong way to put, apparently she barely could back then, and actually passed out several times from wearing them. But she would still look good in them
I actually had a nice conversation with Sir Stewart when I worked for Citibank. His name came up on my line, and I said, is this the Captain Picard. He replied, I have been know to play this character. While I solved his banking concern, we chatted about travel, life,and acting. Once done, I said, enjoy your day. He said, thank you, and hung up.
@@Cartman8402 I've never seen anyone on the bridge using 21st century technology like that and, similarly, I doubt his client was calling him on his mobile. So that's a big no there Roland 🙂🤭
7of9 was probably my favourite star trek character ever: strong silent type, trouble understanding ppl but inherently good, zero bs (absolutely loved that), and when she did show some affection, it was the most moving genuine thing on the show. Also, of course, she was/is out of this world hot.. that's it, need to rewatch it all again! :D
All points are true and why 7 remains one of Star Trek's greats. Plus, the episodes surrounding her always tended to be some of the better ones. They just did.
Feelings? They paired her up with Chakotay...no chemistry at all... seemed so forced to me... I always pictured Chakotay hooking up with Janeway. 7 i would have liked her paired with Kim or the Doctor.
You can tell that they both enjoyed that interview. A lot of times you can tell when an actor or any celebrity doesn't like the interview, but in this case, it's obvious that they really enjoyed the exchange.
It's a testament to the beauty of Jeri Ryan when even after 20 years she's still the face of the Star Trek Picard posters on public transportation hubs around the world.
I've seen two of this guy's interviews now (the other with Tarantino) and he's fast becoming one of my favorites. Knowledgeable, detailed, interested, doesn't interrupt, and makes it fun for the guests. When I think of how many well known interviewers are garbage at it, this is very refreshing.
I absolutely loved this interview. The Interviewer was fabulous, kind and knowledgeable and it felt as if everyone was at ease. And Stewart and Ryan are both so interactive. Thank you for this enjoyable look into two of my favorite Star Trek characters. I wish it were longer.
I loved both characters... Jean-Luc Picard will always be the most inspiring character ever. And Seven, her quest to get back her humanity.... Oh and, of course, Data and his philosophical journey to become more and more human... I love all of them for ever.
It's one of my least favorit Star Trek shows but Seven and the Doctor where really good. She could easily been simply written as eyecandy but was one of the best characters on Voyager
And let's also hear it for 'Firefly' which was axed way, WAY too soon, such that crowdfunding was needed to help bring the storylines to a premature close by making the film 'Serenity'.
I liked it a lot simply because it seemed to replicate TNG with very high accuracy. Every other Star Trek is it's own thing that is very different from everything else. (with possibly the exception of Discovery and Picard being vaguely similar now, but really it's kind of loose)
Jeri Ryan's incredible scope and gravitas as an actor, that is her legacy, that is her gift to us. Jeri portrayed a very unique character who we have not seen since or before, she was exemplary as Seven.
She's a very sweet person, and she certainly had her moments as 7 of 9 but her acting never struck me as exemplary, or anywhere near Patrick Stewart (who was a classically trained actor, IIRC she was a model before getting into acting via bit parts on TV shows in the mid to late 80's)
"you had to pull against the spandex to stand up"-OMG that makes so much sense now. So many times seeing Picard and Riker do that, always thought it was just like adjusting your tie to look professional, but really it was because their uniform was too tight to just stand up >.
A gf back when TNG was first syndicated everywhere, absolutely adored Capt Picard. It's kind of amazing how a person is able to portray a fictional character in such a way as to touch so many. I really appreciate the how the thoughtful writing of ST has positively affected society and attitudes. Thanks for the good work.
Interestingly enough though, in the original series, Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner both talked about having to pull down their uniform tops whenever they stood, or constantly readjusting them, because they started tight and only shrunk with washings. It wasn't a problem inherent to Picard, it started long before then, haha
@@MissLilRedRooster Very true. Nimoy and Shatner pulled their tops down when they stood up while Stewart and Frakes had to adjust theirs when they sat down. While Stewart is given the attention of that, it was actually Frakes who had to pull on his uniform sooner. It should be "The Riker Manoeuver."
Yes. There's the in-universe "Picard maneuver" where he initiated a short range warp jump to appear to be in two places at once for a moment to confuse an enemy. So people started using that name to describe his shirt tug.
I like this Ali Plumb. Not only doesn't he fawn over his interviewees but actually takes the time to research before he talks to them. Definitely someone Im going actively seek out on UA-cam.
I met Patrick Stewart briefly during the intermission of Sondheim's Merriy We Roll Along in Manhattan. He was sitting two rows behind me. A small crowd gathered around him and he was very gracious. I wish I had met Jeri Ryan. She was the best character! I loved how she used to say, "Irrelevant".
I have always been fascinated with Jeri Ryan. She plays Seven of Nine and ultra serious and mostly humorless creation of the Borg and yet when I have seen her interviewed she seems to be warm, funny and very quick to laugh. It must have been difficult to hide that true nature deep inside that character.
There was a lot of tension on the set after Ryan joined, largely because Kate Mulgrew was jealous that she was no longer the show's leading lady, so I imagine it was a lot easier for Ryan to remain deadly serious.
They've done a lot of conventions together and there is the old Cliché of the Star Trek Family. When you work in the same circles you're bound to run into each other a few times.
They have likely become well acquainted with one another through the years since their separate Star Trek shows ended, through their mutual invitations to various Star Trek conventions and meet and greet genre events like Comic Con etc.
They only met one time prior to working on this series. Jeri mentioned this in another interview for Star Trek Picard. She also said she's done so many conventions that she knows the rest of the TNG cast as well as family.
This was such a delight to watch! Often times these types of interviews are either stale and always follow a similar scheme or somewhat cringe-worthy. Here, the interviewer seemed so genuine and interested while at the same time being relaxed enough to make witty (respectful) comments and jokes. Very sympathetic! Loved the questions as well!
I was at the last Con appearance of Ray Bradbury and the story he told goes: He would be walking around and people would come up to him saying: “Mr. Roddenberry? We had heard you were deceased.” (The Star Trek producer had actually died some time ago) Bradbury would assure them, “no, still alive. I hope you are doing well.” They would then ask for his autograph and Bradbury would sign it as Roddenberry.
And later on when they really found out that Gene Roddenberry was really already dead, they can claim they got the autograph from his ghost. Brilliant.
So funny how Sir Stewart is talking about his costume being too tight. When Jeri Ryan couldn't sit down or turn her head and passed out a few times in it because it cut off the circulation to her carotid in her costume. She also had to take regular breaks so she could breathe properly and they had an air tank on standby for her.
@@JKArcade Of course they would. It's a part of the job in order to play the character. Just like accepting the risk of a building collapsing on top of them is a part of firefighter's job. Or facing armed, drugged criminals is a police officer's job. Or risk contracting strange, dangerous diseases (like the corona virus) is a part of physicians and nurses' job. Some people need to handle radioactive materials or extremely toxic chemicals as a part of their job. And then finally there are the soldiers, who can say dying is just a part of their job.
@@herrakaarme Or you could just make a suit that doesn't asphyxiate her. There's no way to make fires not burn; but costume designers can make non-lethal costumes.
reminiscing about the good old days, being the spokesperson/liaison for the Borg... Picard as Locutus and Seven in her original appearance... they both were cybernetically enhanced/modified... ah, memories...
Have only recently seen "7" in interviews, out of character, and think she is so humorous and sharp, it's fantastic. A great human being 👍 Sir Patrick being awesome, as I have known for many years. Still rocks 👊
Nice interview. This is the kind that breaks up a celeb's day: questions that are a little different from what the other interviewers are doing. You treat them like actual people, they'll both remember this as a good interview.
@@npc8149 In a recent interview she said she's never had any plastic surgery. In fact, she talked about the only surgery she's ever had was to replace a herniated disc.
I got my wife hooked on this show eventually, and one day we went out and I started talking borg-7-of-9-ish with her. She went along and the whole conversation was permeated with "Comply", "Elaborate", "It's Irrelevant", and so on! It was one of the best car rides with my wife!
Same here, my wife thought Voyager was rubbish and wouldn't watch it. Then when 7 of 9 joined she got hooked. Had to go back to season one so she could figure it all out lol.
Jerry Ryan posted a picture of her mother on Twitter. I tweeted does her mom date younger men. 7 of 9 tweeted back no with laughing emoji. One of the best days of my life
Two actors actually enjoying an interview, it was really fun to watch and made me love them and their characters even more. Brilliant job to the interviewer for knowing these people and there work.
This is a well run interview. Good job to whoever this interviewer is. It really felt interesting and not like a rehash of all the other media tour content out there. Watched every minute. Cheers!
@@pearsegallagher106 I liked the originality of the the purplish one for troi. And I like the originality of bothbeing different. Of course it makes sense for changes as things progressed.
Sorry my friend, 7 of 9 stands at Tier 1, alone & unique. She’s the woman that walks into a room of beautiful women & everything & everyone just pauses
My two _absolute_ favorite characters from the Star Trek universe! Picard goes without saying. Jeri Ryan made my jaw drop when she made her first de-borged appearance! At first, I had to watch the show just to see her in it. She did such an amazing job with her character, I eventually forgot about how stunning she was and enjoyed her character in the show! Very few characters in the televised ST universe had as much growth as her. Her observations, and wit, were fun to watch.
Two of my favorite actors right there together Admiral Jean-Luc Picard. Who I grew up watching and seven of nine. Patrick Stewart and Jeri Ryan always a pleasure
Years ago, about 10-15 years after "The Next Generation" ended my wife and I attended a church for the first or second time. The service had just begun when a couple entered and sat down behind us. I turned around to make sure our coats, which were draped over the back of our chairs, were not in their way. I took a double take as the man was a dead ringer for Patrick Stewart. When the service ended we turned around to get our coats and we introduced ourselves to this couple. They didn't look like likely Star Trek fans to me. I then started to ask the man "Has anyone ever . . . .?" and they both cut me off and said in unison "all the time!" We attended that church for years and saw them in town from time to time. Sometimes I would just say to him, "well captain, how is your day?"
@Oliver Berner you clearly own a fedora lmao, what did you read a couple of Richard Dawkins quotes and think you uncovered the meaning of the universe what are you even talking about dude you're overanalyzing a UA-cam comment that was clearly just a joke lmao, stop this is sad

Time has been very kind to Seven-of-Nine... she remains beautiful and delightful. And that laugh... it comes so easy, so naturally.
Jeri Ryan has such a wonderful laugh!! After seeing her play seven for so long and never laughing it’s really nice to see her so happy.
Love her even more, the laugh of an angel.
"you had to pull against the spandex to stand up"-OMG that makes so much sense now. So many times seeing Picard and Riker do that, always thought it was just like adjusting your tie to look professional, but really it was because their uniform was too tight to just stand up >.
I imagine it must have been hard on Jonathan Frakes, who had chronic back problems (as manifested in Riker's unique way of sitting down.)
@@Tim3.14 and also his poses with standing up with one leg up on furniture like parts of the bridge and props like rocks and stuff
I love her laugh. I've heard it in bloopers, it's beautiful.
I used to date a girl that was the 7th born of 9 children. She would sign her emails, texts, etc to me 7of9
But was she hot enough to use that designation?
@@Khepramancer Yes, she was.
@@bigelile07 ; )
@@bigelile07 Then that's fantastic on multiple levels. You have my envy :D
And did you assimilate her or not??
I don’t think Jeri Ryan has aged a bit. 20-year-old crush… Still intact.
Matthew Bittenbender she hasn’t. Met her in 2018 at a Star Trek convention
Disagree. She's definitely aged for the better.
I met her at a sci fi event a few years back and she was very lovely!
yes,,a very sexy woman ,ageless Jeri Ryan..
RIGHT? Some women age well, but she just didn't age! She's as gorgeous now as she was 30 years ago.
Jerry Ryan is such a doll. I love her laugh and she seems to be so genuine.
A gf back when TNG was first syndicated everywhere, absolutely adored Capt Picard. It's kind of amazing how a person is able to portray a fictional character in such a way as to touch so many. I really appreciate the how the thoughtful writing of ST has positively affected society and attitudes. Thanks for the good work.
Jeri’s reaction of disbelief that Sir Patrick didn’t know she wore a catsuit is a scream 😂
She still has a crush on him, which is admirable, considering a lot of people still have a crush on her
Just never noticed it😂
I wonder how ?
The pulling down of the uniform after you stand up is known as "The Picard manoeuvre" isn't it?
Interestingly enough though, in the original series, Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner both talked about having to pull down their uniform tops whenever they stood, or constantly readjusting them, because they started tight and only shrunk with washings. It wasn't a problem inherent to Picard, it started long before then, haha
Always heard it referred to as the "Picard Shrug."
@@MissLilRedRooster Very true. Nimoy and Shatner pulled their tops down when they stood up while Stewart and Frakes had to adjust theirs when they sat down. While Stewart is given the attention of that, it was actually Frakes who had to pull on his uniform sooner. It should be "The Riker Manoeuver."
@@cs-mh2dh I believe the "Riker Maneuver" involves not being able to sit on a chair without first throwing a leg over the back of it.
Yes. There's the in-universe "Picard maneuver" where he initiated a short range warp jump to appear to be in two places at once for a moment to confuse an enemy. So people started using that name to describe his shirt tug.
I like this Ali Plumb. Not only doesn't he fawn over his interviewees but actually takes the time to research before he talks to them. Definitely someone Im going actively seek out on UA-cam.
Wow, an interviewer who doesn't come out as arse. I like this guy.
He's actually brilliant, always properly knows his shit about them and doesn't come off as cringey
Agreed. It was well researched and laid back.
@@funoff3207 right even when he pulled out the little action figure it wasnt cringy or creepy at all!! He makes even the smallest of things enjoyable.
@Reed Richards When? I missed that part.
Watching the video again (algorithm and all) and going through the comments and without paying much attention, I almost liked my comment lol.
I met Patrick Stewart briefly during the intermission of Sondheim's Merriy We Roll Along in Manhattan. He was sitting two rows behind me. A small crowd gathered around him and he was very gracious.
I wish I had met Jeri Ryan. She was the best character! I loved how she used to say, "Irrelevant".
What a fun interview... Jeri and Patrick looked like they were truly having a great time. =)
I have always been fascinated with Jeri Ryan. She plays Seven of Nine and ultra serious and mostly humorless creation of the Borg and yet when I have seen her interviewed she seems to be warm, funny and very quick to laugh. It must have been difficult to hide that true nature deep inside that character.
it's called acting. :P
There was a lot of tension on the set after Ryan joined, largely because Kate Mulgrew was jealous that she was no longer the show's leading lady, so I imagine it was a lot easier for Ryan to remain deadly serious.
The most beautiful woman in a Star Trek series goes decades without appearing to age a day. I think we should call this the Nichelle Nichols Effect.
@Richard Page can I put in a word for Jolene Blalock (T'Pol), she was sooooooooooooooooo hot.
I must admit it was marina sirtis as Deanna troi that I had a crush on not as much now though
I think you forgot about Susan Oliver.
@@kevmccormick1767 Marina Sirtis was one of the reasons I realised I was gay. Damn, Troi could read my mind anytime!
Grace Lee Whitney was also a very becoming beauty...
Have Patrick Stewart and Jeri Ryan ever met before Star Trek: Picard? They get along like really good old friends.
They have been working on it for the last two years, plus the TNG cast is really friendly so she would just stick right in
They've done a lot of conventions together and there is the old Cliché of the Star Trek Family. When you work in the same circles you're bound to run into each other a few times.
They have likely become well acquainted with one another through the years since their separate Star Trek shows ended, through their mutual invitations to various Star Trek conventions and meet and greet genre events like Comic Con etc.
They only met one time prior to working on this series. Jeri mentioned this in another interview for Star Trek Picard. She also said she's done so many conventions that she knows the rest of the TNG cast as well as family.
ThomasFishwick no, they actually said they’d only met once before filming Picard.
He’s a very charming interviewer. Knows just how to interact with them.
Jeri Ryan seems like she's actually a very genuine fun person
This was such a delight to watch! Often times these types of interviews are either stale and always follow a similar scheme or somewhat cringe-worthy. Here, the interviewer seemed so genuine and interested while at the same time being relaxed enough to make witty (respectful) comments and jokes. Very sympathetic! Loved the questions as well!
"face palm guy forever" pulled a true laugh out of my throat -- impressive
I was at the last Con appearance of Ray Bradbury and the story he told goes:
He would be walking around and people would come up to him saying: “Mr. Roddenberry? We had heard you were deceased.”
(The Star Trek producer had actually died some time ago)
Bradbury would assure them, “no, still alive. I hope you are doing well.”
They would then ask for his autograph and Bradbury would sign it as Roddenberry.
And later on when they really found out that Gene Roddenberry was really already dead, they can claim they got the autograph from his ghost. Brilliant.
It's so startling to see Jerri Ryan laughing and smiling after her role for so many years.
So funny how Sir Stewart is talking about his costume being too tight. When Jeri Ryan couldn't sit down or turn her head and passed out a few times in it because it cut off the circulation to her carotid in her costume. She also had to take regular breaks so she could breathe properly and they had an air tank on standby for her.
Geez, you'd think they'd.....I dunno....not put an actress through that.
@@JKArcade Of course they would. It's a part of the job in order to play the character. Just like accepting the risk of a building collapsing on top of them is a part of firefighter's job. Or facing armed, drugged criminals is a police officer's job. Or risk contracting strange, dangerous diseases (like the corona virus) is a part of physicians and nurses' job. Some people need to handle radioactive materials or extremely toxic chemicals as a part of their job. And then finally there are the soldiers, who can say dying is just a part of their job.
@@JKArcade
They were real dicks back in the 1990s.
The irony is, I find that blouse sexier.
@@herrakaarme Or you could just make a suit that doesn't asphyxiate her. There's no way to make fires not burn; but costume designers can make non-lethal costumes.
I love how animated they both are. They seem like they'd be a lot of fun to talk to.
*Jeri Ryan:* Still sexy as ever..... & ...... *Patrick Stewart:* Always the consummate gentleman.
She's a baby doll.
@@e.d.gilman4728 Back off! I want her to have my children. :P
@M Sorry, you're wasting your time. She's having all 10 of mine.... Now step away 😀💪🙃
@@donovan3476 you missed a chance to say she's having all 9...
@@Milamberinx I am not worthy. Leaving now in shame.
Captain Picard and 7 of 9 Nine together in the same room just having small talk..
A dream come true 😂
reminiscing about the good old days, being the spokesperson/liaison for the Borg... Picard as Locutus and Seven in her original appearance... they both were cybernetically enhanced/modified... ah, memories...
I shed a tear watching this... Star Trek holds a special place in my hearth. I watched it as a kid with my dad... fond memories.
Have only recently seen "7" in interviews, out of character, and think she is so humorous and sharp, it's fantastic. A great human being 👍 Sir Patrick being awesome, as I have known for many years. Still rocks 👊
Nice interview. This is the kind that breaks up a celeb's day: questions that are a little different from what the other interviewers are doing. You treat them like actual people, they'll both remember this as a good interview.
Jesus, Jeri Ryan is aging like a fine wine. Wow.
Do fine wines get plastic surgery
@@npc8149 Aw, Danny--come on, brother, you wouldn't say no to that fine piece of finger-lickin chicken
@@npc8149 why because she isn't turning into a prune
@@slow_rednline4874 no because it's a fact shes had work done thats all
@@npc8149 In a recent interview she said she's never had any plastic surgery. In fact, she talked about the only surgery she's ever had was to replace a herniated disc.
She still looks amazing
Those two are amazing! I could've listened to hours of that and still not be bored.
The Doctor and Captain Janeway really did a great job with Seven's social skills. Her laugh is out of this world, no pun intended hehe
I got my wife hooked on this show eventually, and one day we went out and I started talking borg-7-of-9-ish with her. She went along and the whole conversation was permeated with "Comply", "Elaborate", "It's Irrelevant", and so on! It was one of the best car rides with my wife!
Eduardo Bueno ok.
Same here, my wife thought Voyager was rubbish and wouldn't watch it. Then when 7 of 9 joined she got hooked. Had to go back to season one so she could figure it all out lol.
I want ur wife
@@iz723 This is a comment to which I will never reply "elaborate" ahahahahaah
yeah she was great to see her develop as a character too. so beautiful wow
Jerry Ryan posted a picture of her mother on Twitter.
I tweeted does her mom date younger men.
7 of 9 tweeted back no with laughing emoji. One of the best days of my life
I bet she told her mom and she felt sexy for the whole day haha
John Aristotle must have been a short life
@@-M0LE wow I wanna be cool like you some day
Alex Jobe if you work hard then maybe just maybe you might get lucky
I love her with all my heart.
Two actors actually enjoying an interview, it was really fun to watch and made me love them and their characters even more. Brilliant job to the interviewer for knowing these people and there work.
I like how much Jeri seems to be loving all of this. She is a treasure.
It's quite embarrassing how happy I am to see Sir Patrick and Jeri together.
2:55 : At this very moment, you can see Jeri Ryan's mind desperately trying to erase all the images of Cosplay Moose Knuckle from her memory ^_^
There's a solution for that: thedevilspanties.com/archives/11318
Facepalm Guy, that’s still better than Poop emoji
Which he did the voice for in the emoji movie hahahahaha
This is such an ENJOYABLE, LIGHTHEARTED interview! I really liked it: it felt close to home, close to the heart.
I would love to be able to end interpersonal conversations as efficiently as Seven, e.g. "This small talk is terminated."
Lmao
Jeri Ryan, otherwise known as Heaven of Mine.
"Seven of mine!"-drunk alien
That really sounds like something Howard from BBT would say xD
Jajajajajjajaja
I read that in a Zapp Brannigan voice.
5:02 Jeri's laugh is so infectious, gawd I love her.
This is a well run interview. Good job to whoever this interviewer is. It really felt interesting and not like a rehash of all the other media tour content out there. Watched every minute. Cheers!
Yea hes good at interviewing, also sean evans is great as well!!
God bless you two! You are both looking great, especially Patrick looks very healthy again.
Both are just so funny and delightful to behold....
My god, Jeri Ryan just gets more and more beautiful over time!
Seven of Nine catsuit vs Counsellor "clevege" Troi
honestly i think they both looked better in uniform
@@pearsegallagher106 I liked the originality of the the purplish one for troi. And I like the originality of bothbeing different. Of course it makes sense for changes as things progressed.
No comparison. 7 of 9 hands down there.
@@pearsegallagher106 The TNG prettiest woman is Denise Crosby, lt. Tasha Yar. Marina Sirtis is beautiful too.
Sorry my friend, 7 of 9 stands at Tier 1, alone & unique. She’s the woman that walks into a room of beautiful women & everything & everyone just pauses
I saw Jeri Ryan at a Star Trek convention in 1999. She looked hotter in person than on TV.
Many a dream of Jerri has been had.
shut up... jealous
She can seven on my, oh never mind. =)
DAMN !! Almost 20 years later and Jeri is still just as beautiful.
Ms. Ryan has an adorable laugh! Thank you to you both on your work.
Gerri Ryan is just delightful. And at 52, she hasn't really aged. She should do more comedy stuff
It's "Jeri", not "Gerri".
No kidding 52 nooo way 😲
Wow she ages well
My two _absolute_ favorite characters from the Star Trek universe!
Picard goes without saying.
Jeri Ryan made my jaw drop when she made her first de-borged appearance! At first, I had to watch the show just to see her in it. She did such an amazing job with her character, I eventually forgot about how stunning she was and enjoyed her character in the show!
Very few characters in the televised ST universe had as much growth as her. Her observations, and wit, were fun to watch.
Seeing Jeri as Jeri shows you how good she is. Because she’s so different than the characters she’s played.
Jeri's laugh is so infectious!!! She and Patrick are absolute gems!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Two of my favorite actors right there together Admiral Jean-Luc Picard. Who I grew up watching and seven of nine. Patrick Stewart and Jeri Ryan always a pleasure
jery is like a good red wine than ever older she was than better she is this old beauty love her scince voyager
WOW MY TWO FAVORITES 😱 who would’ve imagined seven of nine with captain Picard 🤩🤩
Jeri is all like "Oh, you think YOUR suit was too tight?!" ;-)
Two of my favourite Star Trek actors.
Köstlich! Vielen Dank, für dieses schöne Interview mit den beiden!
Years ago, about 10-15 years after "The Next Generation" ended my wife and I attended a church for the first or second time. The service had just begun when a couple entered and sat down behind us. I turned around to make sure our coats, which were draped over the back of our chairs, were not in their way. I took a double take as the man was a dead ringer for Patrick Stewart. When the service ended we turned around to get our coats and we introduced ourselves to this couple. They didn't look like likely Star Trek fans to me. I then started to ask the man "Has anyone ever . . . .?" and they both cut me off and said in unison "all the time!" We attended that church for years and saw them in town from time to time. Sometimes I would just say to him, "well captain, how is your day?"
She had a typical studied laugh. I would say, after all the years among humans....
She's likely nervious, she's always been spectacular with her fans.
"Memes and things...yes, yes"
@Oliver Berner Your point?
@@banjopink4409 he doesn't have one he's just monologuing, just don't make any noise or eye contacted he'll eventually leave

@Oliver Berner you clearly own a fedora lmao, what did you read a couple of Richard Dawkins quotes and think you uncovered the meaning of the universe what are you even talking about dude you're overanalyzing a UA-cam comment that was clearly just a joke lmao, stop this is sad
OMG! I so love this interview! Wish i were there! So wonderful! I'm now more in love with both of them and so full of respect! Thank you so much!
I love how Ryan and Stewart get along. They've got a really good natural chemistry.
