Moving into a new place means getting various services established and for Sir Patrick Stewart<\/strong>, it might have been easier to hook up with the Borg hive mind than to get his cable service connected at his new digs in Brooklyn.<\/p>\n Patrick took to Twitter when his attempt to set up his cable with Time Warner Cable did not go well. “All I wanted to do was set up a new account with TWCable_NYC,” he complained, “but 36hrs later, I’ve lost the will to live.”<\/p>\n The Twitterverse responded, including various Star Trek<\/em> alumni. “Somebody help the Capt’n!” said Mike Sussman<\/strong>, speaking to LeVar Burton<\/strong>.<\/p>\n “I agree, MBB,” said William Shatner<\/strong>.<\/p>\n “Sounds like you chaps could do with a reliable engineer. :)” said Simon Pegg<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Stewart was unimpressed with the speed (or lack thereof) with which Time Warner Cable answered him. “Impertinent, presumptuous,” he said. “And so…’original.”<\/p>\n “How can we assist you?” asked a Time Warner representative.<\/p>\n “If that question had been asked at any time in the last 36hrs it would have been of value,” Stewart replied. “But now…”<\/p>\n “I apologize for the frustration,” said Time Warner. “If you change your mind, we are here.”<\/p>\n Stewart’s original tweet was retweeted by almost fifteen hundred people.<\/p>\n Time Warner’s response to the PR mess? “There’s no doubt we have a lot of fans at the company, of the actor and Star Trek<\/em> in general,” said a spokesman for Time Warner. “But the truth is, any customer that reaches out to us … we’re going to offer them help the exact same way.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Moving into a new place means getting various services established and for Sir Patrick Stewart,…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2413],"tags":[2440,4790],"class_list":["post-20180","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cast-crew","tag-stewart","tag-time-warner-cable"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"T'Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"Cast & Crew<\/a>","tag_info":"Cast & Crew","comment_count":"10","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20180","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20180"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20180\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20186,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20180\/revisions\/20186"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20180"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20180"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20180"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
