  Ad astra, Patrick Stewart ✨ I've met many of the cast of Star Trek – The Next Generation over the years, but unfortunately I never had the chance to meet him. I hope he knew how influential that programme was across astronomy – it's no coincidence that the observatory now known as JWST was originally and for many years called the Next Generation…

  Patrick Stewart was a legendary actor, and a pleasure to watch both within and without the Star Trek franchise (Hamlet, Macbeth, the Hollow Crown).The NY times editorial board seems to have become even more performatively egalitarian. Stewart (like Ian McKellen) was (IMNSHO quite rightly) recognized with a knighthood for his services to drama…

  I first saw Sir Patrick Stewart as Captain Jean-Luc Picard, and through Star Trek: The Next Generation, I discovered a vision of the future that has stayed with me ever since. A future where greed, hunger and sickness were things of the past. Where humanity had grown beyond its obsession with wealth and power, and where we could focus on becoming…

  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.

  I have so many fond childhood memories from TNG together with a persisting, strong feeling of hope for a bright version of the future. Something which gave me a spark of hope and optimism that brought me through the tough teen years and up and through adulthood. And which still to this day gives me a hope for a better future in our world even on…

  Star Trek TNG was a lot of things to those of us that watched it then, one of the things was it healed us a bit after the Challenger disaster made going to space scary (the launch was shown live in my school). It sparked my interests in space, physics, art, language, philosophy, and so much more. Picard wasn’t just a father figure to Wil Wheaton’s…

  Patrick Stewart, who died today at 86, became Professor X and Captain Picard. As a boy, he watched his father beat his mother, and heard the doctors who came to help tell her it was her own fault. In the video below, a woman thanks him for helping her survive her own abuse, and

  The great actor # PatrickStewart died yesterday, aged 86. He was best known for his role in something called # StarTrek , which was apparently a celebrity walking show. Like Strictly, but with caguoles & stout boots. My favourite Stewart performance was this 2016 short made for # TheGuardian : "What has the ECHR ever done for us?" It's about the #…

  Like everyone else here, Patrick Stewart as Captain Picard was a foundational part of my childhood. As it happens, I'm currently on bag 27/30 of the Lego Enterprise D right now. I've actually had the thought a couple of times over the past few years that this day had to be coming, and that it'd likely hit me hard when it did, especially after my…

  I knew this day would come, but I don’t want to accept it. At the end of an interview with his new wife, they showed his laughing face. It looked old and the frailty scared me. So much of my teen years revolved around Picard and Data. I understood Data because he acted like me, but I always wanted to be like Picard. All the characteristics that…

  Whether as a captain, a professor, a king, or more, Sir Patrick Stewart's work inspired generations worldwide through his courage and compassion on and off-screen. May his memory be a blessing.

  Breaking News: Patrick Stewart, who found acclaim as a Shakespearean actor before making a career pivot that would bring him his greatest fame, has died at 86. He achieved pop-culture stardom with major roles in “Star Trek: The Next Generation” and “X-Men.”

  Alas. "Patrick Stewart, ‘Star Trek’ Captain and ‘X-Men’ Superhero, Dies at 86 He’s forever known for playing Jean-Luc Picard and Charles Xavier, whom he “admired for their morality, for their kindness, for their sensitivity, for their compassion.”" https://www. hollywoodreporter.com/movies/m…

  I think that I liked him most as Sejanus in I, Claudius. That was before any of his major sci-fi roles.I see him in this episode:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xA6QbwPGlgkI've read both Suetonius and Tacitus on the subject of Augustus and the Julio-Claudian dynasty:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julio-Claudian_dynastyThose who lack this family…

  Star Trek wasn't just about space exploration... It was about how to live and work together in an environment totally different to what was being experienced att.....on 🌍 Respect for each other's part to play, whether socially or professionally....Picard showed a leader born for the position, as Kirk was.. humour, incredible leisure scenes where…

  One of PATRICK STEWART's greatest roles was Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation - a Captain who stood up for what was right. He delivered many great speeches in the role. This, from The Measure of a Man, is one of the best.

  RIP. What an actor. I spent my teenage years watching ST:TNG every week with my mom. His Picard was, of course, as iconic as a iconic gets. Debate the different ST captains all you like, fine, sure, so many great characters, but Picard will always be •my• captain. 1/ https://www. theguardian.com/culture/2026/o ct/29/patrick-stewart-dead

  Also his guest appearance as Alistair Burke in Frasier episode The Doctor is Out (S11E3) is nothing short of hilarious.The episode is classic sitcom "wrong conclusion escalates out of hands" so I highly recommend watching it in full instead of the clips but if it's not on your streaming platform, Stewart's scenes are cut together in
