Star Trek: the next generation co-star Wil Wheaton in a special edition of “Away Mission” by The ready room after the show. Now free to discuss the entire season of PicardWheaton asked Stewart about the defining moments for Stewart. The star named two, who featured other Next Generation stars. The first was with Marina Sirtis reprising her role as Deanna Troi in “Nepenthe”.
“It was a scene in which Marina spoke to me about Soji and spoke to me about me, etc. Long speech, “says Stewart.” And she did it so brilliantly. It was one of those moments that, I think, happens to all the actors when I stopped being on a scene and it was just an audience admiring what was happening in front of me. I thought his work was brilliant. “
The second was at the end of the season. Stewart revealed that he fought to say goodbye to Commander Data, played again by Brent Spiner, in his final scene.
“The other was almost the penultimate scene of the season when he was alone with Data in a strange room, rather gloomy and gray,” recalls Stewart. “And we were talking about his life and what he expressed as what he missed most in his life was knowing that he would die. Because of my relationship with Brent, which is very special, as are my relationships with the entire crew of the Business, my top colleagues, and there was a moment in that scene where I had to get up from my chair and prepare to leave the room knowing what I had agreed to do, the last thing I would do to help Data. And I had to turn around and say ‘Goodbye, Commander’. We took that shot several times because I hit my target and I couldn’t say it because it was too emotional.
“They are both personal, in a way. They are both related to the actor I was working with. But in the scene with Brent, it was also that we had such a long and complicated character storyline that, when we said goodbye one last time, it was pretty powerful. “
