Patrick Stewart has died

It’s been awhile since I’ve watched something he’s been in but now learning that he’s gone, it feels similar to having a good childhood friend pass into the night

Lost a great one.

Oh man, Patrick Stewart is a base rock part of my personality. Star Trek The Next Generation was formative for me ages 7-12. Sad to see him go.

I remember watching Star Trek: The Next Generation with my aunt and uncle as a kid. I was always more of a Star Wars fan, but they gave me a huge appreciation for Star Trek. My uncle still has a miniature replica of the USS Enterprise. Rest in peace and thanks for the fond memories.

One thing that doesn't get enough attention - when COVID lockdowns started, he just made reels reading Shakespeare's sonnets. It was such a lovely break from everything else on social media. Really loved those.

I'm so saddened by this news, I still watch TNG regularly. Separately, I'm also kind of blown away that Captain Kirk outlived Captain Picard.

Patrick was and always will be one of the brightest stars.

His eyes wet… (I looked up the original script, it’s “Kiazi’s children. Their faces wet.” But I’m gratified that you knew what I meant.)

Oh. This is going to affect me more than or nearly as hard as George Carlin passing back in '08 did. This is a horrible year.

I was dreading this moment. RIP. I’ll be re-watching The Inner Light in his honor tonight.

He’s finally seen everything

<3 It was inevitable, though you always hope for an exception. I don't think I've ever seen any work of his I didn't deeply appreciate.

This hits pretty hard. TNG and Picard's character was a huge part of my childhood.

"All good things must come to an end". Loved the Next Generation, loved Picard. RIP captain. I can still hear the voice: "Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before."

Don't ever stop boldly going wherever you are.
