Mr. Stewart Loves His Trekkies
How does a jumpsuit damage your spine?
They were made from Lycra and one size too small. The producers wanted to have a smooth, unwrinkled look. It put a terrible amount of strain on the shoulders, neck and back.
When you're onstage, aren't you worried about weird Trekkie fans in the audience?
Oh, come on, that's just a silly thing to say.
But they are weird.
How many do you know personally? You couldn't be more wrong. Here's the thing: if you say the fans are weird, that means there is something essentially weird about the show, and there is nothing weird about it. I'm very passionate when people like you snigger.
Editor's Note: Newsweek has removed fraudulent comments purported to have been written by Nicki Gostin from this report. Gostin did not write the remarks and did not respond to any of our readers via our comments section.

Comment: Those "weird" Trekkies happen to comprise this nation's greatests professionals: doctors, lawyers, scientists, etc. At a minimum, this ignorant reporter should apologize for her narrow-mindedness and lame "journalism."

Comment: Wow. Imagine the award-winning actor Patrick Stewart's surprise to be invited to talk to Newsweek about doing Shakespeare on Broadway, only to instead find himself chatting about the chafing qualities of Lycra that's too small. What a wasted opportunity! Maybe Ms. Gostin missed reading "Macbeth" in her high school syllabus? Nobody familiar with "Macbeth" would deem it too boring a subject for an interview. It's my favorite of the tragedies, and I bet Mr. Stewart is great in it.

Comment: Jeez, if Newsweek hire interviewers like Nicki that tells me one of two things are happening:
1. Newsweek horribly lowered the Bar
2. Nicki is related to a Corporate Manager for Newsweek.
The article was suppose to be about his play, Ms. Gostin. And you somehow thought it would be cute to put down people who enjoyed the Star Trek series . Can you explain to me, Ms. Gostin, how in the world MacBeth ties into Star Trek?
What compelled you to end the article like that? Writer spontanity? Immaturity? Or a lack of prefessionalism?
