I think they were afraid some of Patrick Stewart's fans might just do that…! (I'm not sure what it is about certain science fiction fandoms, but some do seem to me to attract a lot of 'trainspotter' obsessive types whom I'd probably place on the mild end of the Asperger's spectrum.)
Galaxy Quest is great fun! Some Trekkie friends of mine squirmed in painful but amused recognition.
