He moved up in rank to Sir Patrick Stewart. I already thought he had that title...

We had a thread about the announcement back in December. That is probably why you thought he may have already been knighted.

And your point is?

That was the announcement, this is the event.

Wait. So he was knighted...twice? The first story was December but the story SPS linked said it happened today. Wut?

Also that thread is like 5 months old.

That being said, this is pretty neat but I'm wondering if Patrick Stewart is nearing some kind of awesomeness plateau. Really, where does one go from here?

Ah! Now I get it.

Dave is old and his mind is slow.

December's was just the announcement that he was GOING to be knighted. Today was the actual ceremony.

Edit: Damn, too slow.

I was just posting the thread cause I figured it was most likely the reason that you thought he had already been knighted . I edited my original post to explain myself better.

Na, I thought he was knighted years ago. Like 5 years after TNG left the air.

Yeah honestly I thought he'd been knighted already too. Not from the December announcement, but because he's just that awesome. I mean, Ian Mckellan has one too.

And the only thing left for him after this is to actually become the captain of an intergalactic starship.

LORD

Lord Patrick Steward. It has a nice ring to it

Of course SIR Patrick Steward is cool too.

That's how you get the ladies. That, and being Patrick Stewart.

He can also make women's clothes fall off with his mind!

Yay for P-Stewart!

- Philosopher B., who bets the thread title will drive Calleja nuts when he sees it.

I wonder if he has a vassal-level opening at his new knightly lifestyle...

Patrick Stewart accidentally went through the knighting ceremony twice, and now he's...


TWO KNIGHTS!

I thought there were four knights.

*gets gauntlets*

Don't hurt me! There are five knights! FIVE!

who the fuck is Pactick Stewart?

WHO THE HELL GRAMMAR NAZIS A WEEK LATER?

You know what's always bothered me (besides the thread title)? That the "Sir" title can only be used in front of your first name... he's Sir Patrick, never Sir Stewart. Sir Patrick Stewart. That's an honor only Lords get, using the title in fron of their last name. So weird.

Also, when they give an MBE to a foreigner, he gets to use the ", MBE" after his full name, but he can't use the "Sir".

Nobility titles have the weirdest rules.
