Can't find the clip, but Jonathan frakes told Patrick Stewart that he had to see Galaxy Quest, and that he had to see it in a theater with an audience.

And Patrick Stewart said he laughed harder than anyone else in the theater.

”I had originally not wanted to see [Galaxy Quest] because I heard that it was making fun of Star Trek and then Jonathan Frakes rang me up and said ‘You must not miss this movie! See it on a Saturday night in a full theatre.’ And I did and of course I found it was brilliant. Brilliant.

”No one laughed louder or longer in the cinema than I did, but the idea that the ship was saved and all of our heroes in that movie were saved simply by the fact that there were fans who did understand the scientific principles on which the ship worked was absolutely wonderful. And it was both funny and also touching in that it paid tribute to the dedication of these fans.”

Thanks. In my mind there was a video. Silly me.

I posted it in another reply to you just below. He’s never been on video saying exactly what you said but he’s been quoted in articles/newspaper interviews. Snopes has a good summary with links to the publications.

You rock!

There’s more recent videos of him praising Galaxy Quest but not any video of that quote that I’m aware of.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Thanks for looking it up!

I can see him enjoying Alan Rickman’s role.

Here's the clip. The full cideo it comes feom is the next link but I’m not sure of the timestamp.
