Brendel: Heard that Paul Giamatti is going to be in a new Star Trek show and my immediate and now entrenched opinion is that I need him to be the worlds pissiest Klingon

Heard that Paul Giamatti is going to be in a new Star Trek show and my immediate and now entrenched opinion is that I need him to be the worlds pissiest Klingon

Klingon helmsman: c’plah! Shields are down to 32%! What do we do Captain? Paul Giamatti Klingon: oh come on what the- you mean to tell me this damn spaceship- for the love of - who even made these blood worms they aren’t wiggly!

Picard: We shall never submit to the likes of you! Paul Giamatti Borg: that’s so hurtful! All I’m doing is flying this cube around and now this guy is acting like I’m the asshole Paul Giamatti Borg’s Therapist: Speak on that, 8 of 19

Giamatti as down on his luck ferengi: Do you even KNOW how many rules of acquisition there are? Can you imagine how hard it is to be a Ferengi and make profit? And your going to submit me and my crew to an inspection? Bah. You humons never understand acquisition.

I'm not drinking any fucking Romulan ale!

Banger

"Speak on that, 8 of 19" 😄

He's absolutely a Ferengi...

I know very little about Star Trek, but I know this.

I WON'T BE DRINKING ANY FUCKING ROMULAN ALE!

He's supposed to be a villian for the Star Fleet: Academy show. I hope he's just some alien with tenure that the Academy has to work around

Just his character from The Holdovers with rubber forehead makeup

Or even better, he’s the cantankerous Janitor and Boothby’s nemesis

Holly Hunter is the chancellor of Star Fleet Academy. I want her to be her character from Raising Arizona.

Edwina: What would have happened if me and Ed Junior got picked up [by The Federation] for accessory to commit armed robbery? H.I.: Aw, it ain't armed robbery if the [phaser] ain't loaded.

Or a Betazoid who's always disgusted by everyone else's chaotic and horny thoughts being projected at him.

Between Holly Hunter and Paul Giamatti, whoever is doing the casting for Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is REALLY going hard for a big performance bonus.

I wasn’t excited about it at all but the casting in and of itself has me fully on board

Not too proud to admit that Disco never really pinged my nerd sensors until Michelle Yeoh's casting was announced. Even if the show overall is messy (as the first season of Trek shows tend to be), Giamatti and Hunter should bring something interesting to the mix.

he'd also be a tremendous andorrian

i saw people say Q

Oof that might be good, or it might be the 1% too horny that really makes everything about Q uncomfortable

The joke's going to be on all of us when the ship hits a time hole to the 18th century and he's going to reprise his role as John Adams.

Nooo why would you put that out into the universe?

he manifested this himself

HOLY SHIT WE GOT HIM

Paul Giamatti plays a KLINGON!youtu.be Golden Globe winner Paul Giamatti (The Holdovers, Sideways) has dreamt of playing a Klingon on Star Trek ever since he was a small child. So we helped Giamatti create a "klingon audition tape" in the hopes of securing him a part in one of the next Star Trek feature films or shows! EDITING: Johan Albrechtsen VFX: Mikkel Hoff Andersen

Ah, the John Adams of the Klingon Empire!

So say we all

GALAXY'S Pissiest Klingon.

When "Orion male" was right there.

Holy shit yes I can see it in my head and I want it

WRONG he's clearly a bajoran

Farranghei whipping boy about making deals like in billions

Hard to top Christopher Lloyd in that department

Lol he doesn't even act like a Klingon. He just Paully Gs it in every shot. Same Giamatti voice & everything. Just looks like a Klingon with Paul's natural facial hair.

Pii’gvo’maht

I know the rest of the movie was dog shit on a cracker but I liked him in the Markie Mark Planet of the Apes remake

Also, he’d make a great Harry Mudd

That just makes me pine for the lost potential of Phillip-Seymore Hoffman as an Enterprise captain w/ Giamatti as foil/ the "Khan" of that unrealized timeline

That is the only acceptable option here.

Utterly fed up Romulan, though

Nah come on, he's a Farengi Grand Negus.

Star Trek took the effete Christopher Plummer and made him the maddest scenery chewing Klingon ever. My money is on a Giamatti Fremen, played as mad King Midas.

He should play Sirna Kolrami

I hope they don't have him be some sort of sentient holodeck historical figure.

Harvey Pekar with head ridges.

Nooo! I want him in blue.😉

And also the shortest..

Yes basically that dude from Big Fat Liar. Scratch that just do Big Fat Liar but on the set of the Enterprise from TNG.

Now, I'm picturing him doing his Pig Vomit rant from Private Parts in Klingon makeup. Greatest Star Trek series ever if it happens.
