noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
He will be remembered for Trek but I will keep the flame of Patrick as Lenin alive, as he would want.
YES ty Awoo
“Don’t trust the liberals, they will betray you!” a lesson Comrade Patrick taught me that I have never forgotten.

Ah shit this fucking sucks.
I can’t believe William Shatner outlived him, what the fuck.
Genuinely think William Shatner could become one of the oldest men in the world. If he didn’t have such a long documented career I might believe he was lying about his age for whatever reason.
I just checked he’s 95 lmao what the fuck he looks 80 tops.
He said that the trick to looking younger as you get older is to gain 5-10 pounds a year to keep the skin taut, lol
Also having tons of money for rich people healthcare
There was a pic of him from his 95th birthday and he looks like he could pass for mid to late 60s. Like I said the fact he’s such a big Hollywood name and has been around for so long is pretty much the only reason I haven’t suspected him of being an age fraudster lol.
He was just playing festivals with his metal band last month
His what?
His cover of Bohemian Rhapsody is certainly a treat, particularly the bit at around 3.47:

Wait till you hear what Christopher Lee was doing.
Despite being 86, I still gasped
The first loss of the core TNG crew and it was the big man himself, almost inverse of the original series where Shatner is almost the last left (him and Takei)
Also Walter Koenig (who played Chekov) died too literally 4 days ago?! WTF
Wait, really? I thought Walter Koenig had died a long time ago! I wonder who on earth I was thinking of. Huh.
the chekov from the new movies died in an accident
soon it’ll be just wesley…
Patrick Stewart has asked that you donate to Johns Hopkins Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center Fund and Alzheimer’s Foundation of America Caregiver Resources.

I keep seeing comments that he was a socialist, but these kinds of organizations are oppositional to public, collective funding and decision making around health care and research.
Contrary to “from each according to their ability”, they rely on discretionary donations from individuals/corporations, the largest of whom are overtly using it to evade taxes which would otherwise be distributed according to public policy. The donor economy allows these people to have arbitrary power far exceeding their expertise.
And rather than “to each according to their need”, decisions are made with far less accountability than a state or other public institution would be subject to. In particular, groups who represent different diagnoses are put in the strange situation of competing with one another in popularity contests. Which leads to vast waste of resources on promo, PR and pointless activities which advertise the fundraising projects. And god help you if you have a disease without a big advertising campaign, that wealthy people don’t feel like using a tax shelter.
I suggest if you are feeling a grief that is soothed financially, send it to someone in mutual aid, or put it in your pocket and hand it to the next person who asks you for change on the street.
RIP king
Tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all!
Come cheer up, my lads. Come cheer up, my lads.
Tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all!

It’s only been like ten minutes since I found out, just before it hit the press, so I’m staggered and doing my best to process everything, while my phone is blowing up. There will be wonderful obituaries and reflections from so many people who knew him. I’m going to do my best to write my own, but that’s going to take a little bit.
For now, I want the world to know that Patrick wasn’t just my captain or my castmate; he was my friend and mentor. He made me a better actor, just by being in scenes with me. He never treated me like I was a kid; he always treated me like I was an equal, a fellow artist, at a time when I wasn’t mature enough to understand how precious that was.
I haven’t seen Patrick in a long time, our lives and schedules being what they are, but I thought about him almost every day. He rarely posted in our group chat, but when he did, it always made me smile. He always texted me back when I reached out to him directly, no matter what it was about, and he always — always — made me feel special.
I wish I really were a Traveler of all of space and time, so I could go to him, one final time, and tell him how much he means to me. I think he knew, but still.
There is so much more to say, and it’s going to take me some time to say it. Until then, I loved him, the same way I love the rest of the space family we shared. May his memory be a blessing.

am I wrong or is that final sentence a dogwhistle?
Wheaton has expressed support for both Israel’s [sic] right to exist and the human rights of Palestinians, a stance often described as liberal Zionist framing.
probably.
wil is a slava ukraine guy
Wil is just sooo fucking cringe. Human Funko Pop. Wesely was cooler than him.
as far as i know he’s done right by his stepsons, and his own childhood was fucked up but he should definitely shut up about brands and geopolitics
I dont think he is a particularly bad guy in any stretch, they hired him to do post epusode online stuff for new trek and promotional stuff as well a cameo in the worst season of star trek ever made and then was the only tng cast member not included in the 3rd season. He just strikes me as a shill and a bit of a dork
For all the hate Wesley gets, he at least stood up for a group of Native Americans over being relocated by the Federation, and had no problem sacrificing his career for it. Whereas Wil Wheaton doesn’t get much further than your typical shitlib “both sides” type of fecklessness.
Wesley was mostly fine. He was annoying in the esrly years but the early years were weird.
Hard to imagine why a lifelong socialist might not have met or spoken to this asshole in a long time!
Could you explain the dogwhistle? I don’t recognise anything suspicious
it’s just that I’ve seen that exact phrase used dozens of times by official Isn’traeli twitter accounts when an IOF soldier gets merced
I thought that was sort of a Jewish phrase. I also see “of blessed memory” which is sinilar
ok, that would explain it. another thing the settlers are trying to conflate I suppose

shut up, wesley!
Zinda, his eyes red. Darmok on the ocean.
Rest in peace.

My own father passed away this year in January. Am I crying because he introduced me to TNG so I am still grieving his death, or because Picard was the one heroic character whom I wish my dad, flawed as he was and we all are, had been more like?
Maybe it’s both.
I’m so sorry for your loss. :hugs:
Thank you. :)
Thinking about it a little more, I think I love Patrick Stewart so much because he didn’t seem to disappoint much when compared to his character of Captain Picard.
He portrayed a character that represented a vision of humanity that showed what was possible for us all. Growing up with that role model, but then seeing how the world actually works was really difficult for me. Humanity was such a big disappointment in reality. So much wasted potential.
Now that he’s gone, reality is just a little harder to face, and our little flame of hope seems to flicker a little more.
RIP Space Dad
Thanks for the memories and teachings, Captain. 86 is a lot of life to live and I hope you received your fair share of good back from the world you put so much good into yourself.

William Shatner @WilliamShatner
What a heartbreaking week it has been. Sir Patrick Stewart was a friend, a colleague, and a magnificent actor. From the stage to the bridge of the Enterprise, he brought intelligence, grace, and a deep sense of humanity to everything he did. Captain Picard stood for the best of us, and so did the man who played him. I was filled with affection and admiration for him and his work.
My heart goes out to Sunny and his family. He will be deeply missed.

Fans across the world mourn the passing of a true and irreplaceable legend. As Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Patrick Stewart took the starship Enterprise to places it had never gone before.
He inspired a whole next generation of star-gazers who looked longingly ahead to a brighter future for all humanity. Our hearts are heavy, indeed. Rest in the heavens, Captain.

Con: tv man died
Pro: george takei is sad
He had Alzheimer’s and they were still making him do Picard?
Apparently he was diagnosed fairly shortly before he passed. It’s not like no one ever worked after their diagnosis just because they loved what they did - no one forced Terry Pratchett to keep writing. Also, I thought they stopped making Picard a few years ago?
Also, he wanted to do it, he was heavily involved in the whole project lol
Sam Neill, Tim Curry, and now Patrick Stewart. We’re losing all our comrades this year (all three have played as Communists before).
And were comrades in spirit.
Picard was of the best, healthiest, and most non-toxic masculine role models in popular culture–a great depiction of how a man can be strong without being a bully and kind without being a pushover. TNG (and Picard in particular) was enormously influential on me growing up, and Patrick Stewart himself seemed like a really good guy off-stage as well. I don’t tend to give a shit about celebrity deaths, but this one sucks.
