Nothing earth shattering
By sb2004

There's nothing here that hasn't been said by virtually every actor who ever put on a Starfleet uniform. If Stewart didn't want to be a fanboy poster child, he wouldn't have taken the job -- nor would he have followed it up by playing Professor X.

While the TOS cast can be forgiven for not realizing how well identified they'd become, by the time TNG rolled around everyone knew the rules of the game.

Stewart has done a lot of quality non-Trek work both before and after TNG, and he will no doubt continue to do so. But it took Shatner until his mid-70s and Boston Legal to finally find a role that made people forget about Kirk and for which he won acclaim ( everyone knew TJ Hooker was just Kirk with a badge). Hopefully Stewart won't have to wait quite as long.
