That Time Star Trek’s Patrick Stewart & William Shatner Tweeted About Horrible Time Warner Cable Service

Last week, I was delighted to find out Star Trek: The Next Generation’s Sir Patrick Stewart was not only on Twitter, but his username was @SirPatStew. I marveled at him having the same problem many Brooklyn, New York residents have (he recently moved there) – horrible service from cable companies. In this particular instance, Stewart was complaining about Time Warner Cable and it just so happens William Shatner has been shaking his fist at the same company from the West Coast. 

Here was Stewart’s original problem with Time Warner:

Then things just got downright nasty when Time Warner realized who they were dealing with and attempted a Star Trek joke, using Stewart’s famous line against him:

And perhaps that was all he needed to hear. Stewart went with a different company for his television provider.

No word on whether or not Shatner was able to use his influence to get Time Warner to help him but I think we can all learn a good lesson from this – don’t screw with SirPatStew.
