Patrick Stewart has died

Make it so.

proud we collectively deem this site-relevant

the man who got me into star trek which then got me into computers which got me where I am today, that's extremely sad

He will be missed. Rest in peace, Captain.

Lost a great one.

Not unexpected but still hit hard.

RIP to one of the truly great ones

Make it not so

I never met him. I'm crying.

Profound shock.

I often think of Picard looking down at us, through a force field in the Enterprise D, sees our wars, our inequalities and slowly shakes his head: "Savages". In his role as Picard he was a bit of a teacher to me.

I used to watch Star Trek TNG back in the 1990s. Patrick was great as Captain Picard.

I did notice that in the latest Wolverine he seemed to be doing not so well with his physical status, looking quite frail and his voice was also no longer strong as it used to be (that was in Logan 2017, so already 10 years ago). Dementia is kind of eating away at the neurons.

He was a gift to the world.

I remember him as Gurney Halleck and his brief non-speaking turn as Karla in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

What can you not say about a man like this. Beloved by all and someone to look up to on and off the screen. Many of us grew up learning from and laughing with Sir Patrick Stewart and his characters. He was an actor's actor, committed to his roles.

No being is so important that he can usurp the rights of another, but yesterday we lost someone very important.

Engage.

Was great in Oblivion. RIP

He saw everything

He played one of the most exemplary men of the last century, and brought life to an ideal of what humanity could aspire to be. The fiction was a vehicle, and through it he represented our best.

I didn't know anything about him other than his work, which is perhaps as fine an epitaph as any man could have.

In Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (1979), Patrick Stewart has a short appearance near the very end as soviet KGB mastermind Karla.

Never have I seen such presence and charisma squeezed into so short a scene.

There dies part of my childhood. RIP, you gave the world so much!

RIP Patrick Stewart, he will always be Picard and Xavier to me.

Am I the only one who regularly tells Claude to "make it so"?

RIP

That's so sad :(

Mirab, his sails unfurled.

I commend you to the stars

I usually don't follow this kind of celebrity news. This is the first time, maybe in my life, that I felt the news of a celebrity passing in my gut.

Patrick Stewart's role in TNG was iconic and left a big mark on me as a kid. I felt like TNG really envisioned a society that would be utopic, and I was always inspired by his code, his faith in himself and his morals, and his deep curiosity and compassion for the people around him and the strangers out in the universe.

The world of TNG still lives in a tiny corner of my brain, as a place of both comfort and inspiration.

Plays a melancholy melody on a flute

He is The Picard.

‘Damage report!’

a thing isn't beautiful because it lasts

RIP Professor X

I am going to watch TNG once again for him starting now. I am sad.

THERE. ARE. FOUR. LIGHTS.

I'll never forget this line, and what it means. I think of it often.

Godspeed. ;~;7

RIP

Just as I'm in the middle of watching Picard Season 1.

But it was too late. I've seen everything.

In our hearts, you will always live long and prosper, Captain.

Watching Star Trek TNG episodes when they first aired in the late 80s had a powerful effect on my imagination as a child. It would not, and could not, have been the same show without Patrick Stewart. RIP.

I have (re)watched Star Trek TNG more times than I can remember. I got a shock when I saw the title of this post.

One of the celebrity deaths I actually care about. Rest in peace.

Honorable mention: thanks to red letter media for keeping the memory alive. And for being dorky and entertaining.

RIP.

Damn. Doomsday may be his last appearance. I wonder if they filmed anything for secret wars.

Wow, what a loss. So many iconic characters, so much inspirational

:(

I would watch some TNG tonight in his honor… but since the Ellisons bought Paramount, it’s not available on streaming in my country anymore. (Billionaires really will spoil everything.)

Instead I’ll go find my old DVD box set of “I, Claudius” where he had a memorable role too.

Paywall for an obituary is something else

i sense a great disturbance in the force...
