... And it's remarkable how much his thoughts on storytelling mirror my own:
This is quite possibly the most stunningly deadpan performance I've ever seen.

It also makes me wonder why no one has grabbed Patrick Stewart up for some form of long-term, live-action television contract in the last 15 years.
I know he's doing American Dad, but that's animation and Stewart's not in every episode. It's kind of sad that the people behind Law and Order: UK didn't grab Stewart up, since I could easily see Patrick Stewart and Freema Agyeman rocking the same sort of chemistry that Jill Hennesey and Sam Watterson or Sam Watterson and Angie Harmon did during "Law and Order's glory days.

Holy shit ... Apollo, Martha Jones and Picard/Xavier, all on the same show? I'm pretty sure the undiluted concentration of Pure Nerd would render it a biohazard. In short, JAWSOME.

I see that and raise you this dream casting scenerio for turning Law and Order UK into the ultimate nerdgasm of UK sci-fi actors working on the same show: find a way to work Chris Barrie and Ian McDiarmid onto the show (Barrie maybe as the Lennie Briscoe-analoge character while Ian McDiarmid would be the Adam Schift analogue) along with the above mentioned three.
That way, you'd have Star Trek, Star Wars, Doctor Who, Red Dwarf, AND Battlestar Galactica represented on one show!!!!!

I said it after watching the Star Wars prequels, and I'll say it again now - Ian McDiarmid should have spent the past two decades being a badass mastermind villain in films. His performance as Palpatine is, besides the special effects, the ONLY improvement that the prequels made on the originals - Palpatine in Return of the Jedi was just annoying, but Palpatine in the prequels was one of the most awesome bad guys I'd ever seen.

His very careful, very understated manipulation during the operas scene in "Revenge" is probably some of the best acting in the whole damn series.
