Patrick Stewart to be knighted, not tortured, by the queen

Engage! Scifiwire (via ScifiSquad) reports that Patrick Stewart will be knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. Stewart is best known as Jean Luc Picard, captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise in Star Trek: The Next Generation. What you may not know is that he's an accomplished British stage actor, specializing in Shakespeare. Let's hope that the knighting goes smoother than Patrick Stewart's last encounter with a queen, as seen above.
