nothing ? he was an actor on a few tv shows, he seem’d a nice guy but then so is my neighbour.

I guess I find it a little depressing that there’s any reverence for actors, they are… acting. The local plumber, nurse etal do more good in the workd.

Jonas Salk however, mucho respecto.

CAPT Picard is everything that leadership is supposed to be. Rest in power Jean Luc.

Honestly, I don’t really know. He was a celebrity, not my friend.

I loved quite a lot of the things he started in. TNG is a significant part of my childhood. Outside of acting, he seemed like a class act.

But I never knew the guy. His death brings me sadness, but I don’t think I’m in mourning. Not for him at least. His death just feels like another piece of the world I was born into going away.

there are four lights!

Man gave a stellar performance and taught me to speak my truth even if any and all are trying to mess with you

Also, so sad we’ve never got to see him play Spider Jerusalem in an adaptation of Transmetropolitan. He wrote one of the forewords in the TB, and really would have loved to do the role.

RIP . Captain

I think his character on star trek is what got me into the show, I think he did such a great job and made the show immersive. I had a pretty abusive childhood, that show was all I had. Its responsible a lot of my views and morals, extremely formative. Outside of his acting, he seems like a he was a wonderful person and the world is less bright without him.

Overhyped US imperialism propagandist whitewashed by Liberals

guy on TV

Nothing, I never met the guy. but he always seemed kinda cool for an old man

Reason I joined the military, got out and continue public service. He was a voice for me as a call to action. Be the change you want to see in the world. He will be deeply missed.

Sir Patreck Stuart

You misspelled Patrick Stewart on the title, btw.

(Also Patrick Stuart is a completely different actor)

He represents a central figure in media mythology that everybody knows stands for integrity, earnestly trying to do what you think is right, and hope for a better future. Because if we can dream of making it to the stars, people will keep dreaming of making it to the stars.

Star Trek is culturally centralized as a pillar of hope and wonder that everybody can reference. If you know somebody likes Star Trek, you can basically know that they’re a good person. And Patrick Stewart is the figurehead and father figure we all know, strive to be, and hold as the gold standard of.

His character’s words were written by writers, sure. But, CULTURALLY, we all collectively know that he represents that hope and wisdom.

It’s odd and impossibly human how something so incredibly real can come from all of our dreams when they’re put together.

And while I know that his passing isn’t the loss of that message of hope by any means… But I’d be lying if I said it didn’t feel that way. It really does feel like it’s our duty to ourselves to continue the hope that we know and feel, even if, right now, it feels a million miles away and fading.

Sir Patrick Stewart didn’t die. He’s become more powerful than any of us can possibly imagine.

Picard thought me more about morals and ethics than any of my teachers. RIP buddy

One line from Prof Xavier in Xmen means a lot to me.

“Just because someone stumbles and loses their way, it doesn’t mean they’re lost forever. Sometimes, we all need a little help.”

I used to go to sleep listening to the furnace and pretending it was the hum of the Enterprise with Patrick Stewart at the helm. I was safe because he was there. I’m in my fifties now and still that sometimes helps me get to sleep.
His passing is like a gut punch. My stomach is in a knot and my eyes are all welled up.
RIP Patrick - you will be missed.

His character as Picard is one of the clearest role models of leadership, something I want to aspire to.
