Why did Jean-Luc Picard speak with an english accent?

[NFS4]

Wasn't he French?

 

[Orsorum]

Don't question Jean-Luc, Ensign! :|

 

[notfred]

Because Patrick Stewart is English.

 

[imported_Strang]

I think it's the same reason that Professor Xavier had one.

 

[MacBaine]

Cause people from the future are more sophisticated than that.

Yep

I guess no one respects the French.

But then one of my professors this year speaks with a polish accent, so over the phone people think he is polish instead of black, since this country is still racist.

 

[ohtwell]

Because he could! NEVER question a superior officer!!

Well duh

Everyone knows that! But why not make him an English captain?? Besides, he'd get more respect as a captain of a starship as an Englishman vs being French

 

[Fritzo]

Because in 2150, France surrendered to England.

 

[Jzero]

Wah doo yoo sink I speak wis zis ridiculous accent?

That's why.

Where did he develop a Polish accent? If he's from Poland, then I'd say that he's Polish.

And how in the hell would that make someone racist, anyway? If you hear someone on the phone speak in an English accent, and think that he's from England, does that mean you're racist against the English? I don't follow your logic.

He wasn't named Jean-Luc because he was french. His mother always loved International Coffees and named him after her imaginary lover...

The same reasons why the actors who played Russian officers in K-19: The Widowmaker spoke english w/ a russian accent

Then his name would have been John Woods or something... and that just doesn't sound as cool as Jean-Luc Picard.

Flowers for John Luck Pickard!

Everyone knows that people in the future, in outer space, in ancient history, and in foreign countries speak with British accents.

I mean that's just a Hollywood fact.

I have the beast in my sights Mrs. Moneypenney.

Picards brother had a French accent

 

[Balt]

The truth is during the entire series he was speaking in French, and when the universal translator spit out what he was saying into English, it did so with an English accent.

Even when he was Locutus?
