Downvote away but I'm not particularly sad. He lived a great life and died at a fair age. If anything had been different, I'd worry that we wouldn't have gotten the same guy.

Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

Great actor who inspired millions. Thank you, Patrick.
This idd
Fred Rogers taught us to love ourselves and be good to each other.
Robin Williams taught us to laugh and have wit.
Sir Patrick Stewart taught us to have wonder and to have hope for and help work towards a better future.
What a dark day. His loss is immeasurable, but like those who came and left before him, what he has given us will live on forever.
May you rest in peace, Sir. And to his family and friends, my heart goes to you on this day, October 28th, 2026.
I can't believe William shatner outlived him.
That was exactly my first thought.
Shatner is 9 years older.
he cheated by using that space ribbon time heaven thing.
And at least the last time I saw him, seemed to be doing amazingly well
Well as if it wasn't enough bad news already! Shatner is still alive! /s
Forever in our hearts
:(
Of all the celebrity deaths, I think this one I feel the most. I won't say I'm sad, Patrick Stewart lived an awesome life, and I'm glad to hear he didn't have to battle Alzheimers or Lewy body Dementia for a long time.
RIP to an amazing actor who played amazing roles, and who lived a full life that we should all strive for.
Lewy Body Dementia is what Robin Williams had, and why he killed himself. It's vicious.

RIP, Captain.
This one hurts
Make it not so =(
Do not engage 😥
Agreed
RIP. I hope he got to see everything.
Fuck. Going to go pour out some earl gray for my fallen homie.
Many of my favourite moments in all of media are of this, out of place, British/French/Space man, speaking softly and at length about morality and the human experience. He still continues to give me hope that Humanity can eventually surpass the greed, hate and fear that hold us all down. Hopefully, we can see a glimpse of it in our lifetime.
Let's see what's out there.
My favorite Unknown British Shakespearean Actor.
Rest in peace
Oh, fuck today.
I'm not usually one to get emotional about celebrities but this one sucks. RIP legend.
I'm so glad we got one last go around with Picard in Season 3 while he was still here. I was just watching Unification: Part I last night and enjoying this scene:
B'iJik: How would it benefit the Klingon Empire? I'm sure Gowron will ask.
Picard: The only benefit to the Klingon Empire would be our gratitude.
B'iJik: That is what you want me to tell him?
Picard: Yes. And please add that, if he is unable to provide us with a ship, then I am sure there are others in the Klingon Empire who would be willing to help me. And then... they would have our gratitude.
B'iJik: [long pause] I see.
Picard: Also, please tell Gowron that I am immensely gratified that he is prospering so well. A tribute to his skilled leadership.
The scene were he was speaking to Sarek as he wasted away on his deathbed hits differently now, too.

Goddamn. I am just working on my first academia teaching assignment: A cultural study of the influence of TNG where I introduce the series to fresh Gen-Z'er. Suddenly, my academia sociobabble sounds kinda misplaced.
Fuuuuck I'm not ready for this
Terrible day for rain.
It's always a hard thing to deal with the death of someone you care for. It's a weird thing to feel so much sorrow for someone you never knew.
But here I am crying because I really loved him and he will never know how much his art has meant to me.
Sad days
My favorite thing he's done was dressing down James Corden in front of a live mic. Captain, my captain, forever.

Sorry to see him go, but I'm happy we got to see him, and the others, once again in Picard.
A great actor, and a decent human. Rest peacefully Captain. You've earned it.
I always feared Sir Ian McKellen would be the first of the two to leave us.
