Sir Patrick Stewart has passed away :(
This year can get in the fucking bin
Oh noooooo! I've been dreading this day for years I fucking love him
From when 1st saw him in dune as a child, I saw him as a role model and father figure. I cried hard all the way home after watching Logan because of him and I never cried in a movie in my life. I hope he understood how much impact he had on the lives of his fans. The characters he played really embodied what it meant to be the change you want in the world.
It's been a rough fucking year.
Scheisse Junge.
One of the greatest Shakespearean actors of the last 100 years and one of the funniest voices in American Dad has died... Also he was in Marvel shit.
Rest in peace Sir Patrick, you are free now.
I swear to Satan if glorious Sir Ian McKellen dies before fucking Trump and terrorist Netanyahu I'm going to lose my shit.
God does keep taking the wrong 80 year olds....
The Royal Shakespeare Company describes the actor as a "colossus"
Close, but he was actually Professor Xavier.
With Alzheimers and Lewy Body dementia, I am glad he can rest now.
What a terrible combination of diseases to suffer from simultaneously.
same thing with robin williams, he had a severe case of it.
Pretty much. Most have an image of how they wish to go, peacefully in their sleep is a good one. But to have that combination is to be in such a dreadful state. Alas, it is not of our choosing at the end of it all.
Yep, my grandmother had Alzheimer’s/Dementia, if not that bad a case. Fuck both of these diseases.
My dad too. His team thought he had Lewy Body dementia but was never confirmed before he passed. That shit is truly awful.
Nooooooooooooo!
He will be missed.
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.

Thanks. That's very nice.
His obit better goddamn start with stardate. I'm not even a trekie.
The man had so many good roles. King Richard, Gurney Halleck, that guy in that Toby Hooper movie about space vampires. Do we have to just talk about Star Trek?
RIP Captain Ahab
This one really bummed me out.
Same.
He's seen everything. RIP
....on the grass.
"You're not married, you live alone and you've never watched Star Trek?"
"No"
"Good lord"
👌
I'm so glad he was able to introduce us to the man he looks up to most

Wish there was a way to watch this without Instagram
I don't use any shit owned by fbook
What did he say?
On stage talking about himself at the greatest actor ever, and about his history, and his thousands of sexual conquests of imagine objects. It was a bit. 😊
I didn't know he was 86, it's less surprising in that context. Still a bummer, a legend is gone.
man. I really thought shatner would go before him and chekov.
Shatner was recently on Jonathan Frakes and Brent Spiners podcast and he still looked the same as he did like 20 years ago and still sharp as a tack. I think what help keeps his mind sharp is he stays up to date on stuff. Like he was quite knowledgeable about AI for example. for being 95 he acts like he's in his late 60s.
It is amazing how long Shatner has kept going. But that is the power of 'Denny Crane!' ;)
A great actor, and a decent human. Rest peacefully Captain. You've earned it.
Loved his performance as Lenin. RIP
RIP
He was very cool. RIP
RIP, one of the greats for sure.
damn :(
Ouch
RIP in Peace my man.
Oh shit.
This Magic set is gonna blow up!
There are signed cards in the collector packs.
It will be because of his influence.
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
