Well, fuck. That’s all I can muster right now. 😢
Not long after Walter Koenig (Chekov) too.
I felt like he was ready to move on during the filming of Picard.
Am I the only one that feels like he was 60 years old for the last 30 years?
Have to admit when I heard the news I did a quadruple take.
Shaka, when the walls fell.
I am on a TNG marathon for the best Picard eps.

Mr. Spock: A Vulcan would face such a loss without tears.
Young Spock: How?
Mr. Spock: By understanding every life comes to an end when time demands it. Loss of life is to be mourned, but only if the life was wasted.
–Star Trek: TAS, Yesteryear
He is an inspiration to generations.
Even in his passing, hopefully his works will inspire the next generation.
Pour one out: Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.
“Someone once told me that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives. I rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey, and reminds us to cherish every moment… because they’ll never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we’ve lived. After all, Number One, we’re only mortal.”
I’m currently on Season 4 of my TNG re-watch. The episode tonight is going to be a very bittersweet viewing. RIP, Mr. Stewart, you will very much be missed
What episode is tonight?
Episode 2, Family. I’m fully expecting to get a little teary eyed watching it
Almost cried just reading which episode.
Family is such a great episode. Such a departure from the razzmatazz of BOBW. A moment to sit and reflect on what Picard went through. I love the symbolism of him falling back to earth. Plus we get a lil peek into Worfs backstory, and we get to watch Will Wheaton completely phone it in (still love it, he was a teen and had other things on his mind, no hate).
As a kid I really didn’t like that episode, but now it’s in my top 5 TNG EPS for sure. Patrick Stewart’s performance is just top notch, as it always is. We lost a legend.
Fuck 2026.
Some people have been a part of your life as long as you can remember. They feel like a pillar, part of the structure of the world. Then they are gone leaving an empty space. Your view of the world suddenly feels less secure. Nothing left but to remember and do the best we can with the memories.
