Live long and suffer!

He’s famous for playing Borg-battling Starship Enterprise Capt. Jean-Luc Picard on “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” but after his recent move to Brooklyn, actor Patrick Stewart came face to face with an omnipotent foe that’s defeated many a New Yorker — the cable company.

And the British-knighted Shakespearean star quickly learned that when it comes to Time Warner Cable, resistance is futile.

“All I wanted to do was set up a new account with [Time Warner Cable] but 36hrs later I’ve lost the will to live,” Stewart, who recently settled into a $2 million home in Park Slope, ranted on Twitter.

The cable company — notorious for its epic delays in getting customers set up with new accounts or rectifying problems — replied at warp speed.

“How can we assist you,” Time Warner responded. But it was too little, too late for Stewart, also known for his role as Professor Charles Xavier in the “X-Men” film series.

“If that question had been asked at any time in the last 36 hours it would have been of value,” Stewart replied. “But now . . .”

Twitter followers quickly came to Stewart’s aid.

“Did you tell them to ‘Make it so?’ ” quipped Jason Gorman, invoking one of Picard’s famous catch-phrases.

Even “Star Trek” co-star LeVar Burton — who played Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge on the show — chimed in. “Been there,” he tweeted his old chum.

Stewart’s rant was re-tweeted some 1,115 times.

“There’s no doubt we have a lot of fans at the company, of the actor and ‘Star Trek’ in general,” said a Time Warner NYC spokesman. “But the truth is, any customer that reaches out to us . . . we’re going to offer them help the exact same way.”

The actor is quickly becoming a Park Slope fixture at places like Brooklyn Fish Camp and Zito’s Sandwich Shoppe.

“For so many people, it’s every day that they have to deal with the headaches of Time Warner,” said Zito’s owner, Marcello Bucca. “Hopefully his rant . . . might help fix it for everyone else.”
