In a lot of very real ways, I realize that I have, for a long time, considered Stewart’s portrayal of Picard to essentially be the reference standard of what outstanding leadership can and should be.
Also, as to Stewart himself: I’ve always thought he was, at his core, a genuinely good human.
Fuck, man, I haven’t felt this heartbroken about a celebrity death since Anthony Bourdain.
Same. I normally don’t particularly care that much about celebrity deaths. I mean, it’s sad in a lot of cases, but it doesn’t usually well my eyes. But when I found out about Patrick, I felt a huge gut punch. The last time I felt this was Robin Williams :( they were both good people who did not deserve dementia :(
Paul walker for me. But same deal.
Agh. Fuck. Yeah; Williams was a huge loss as well 😢
