RIP: Patrick Stewart

So sad to see that actor Patrick Stewart has passed away :(



I was aware of him way before his roles in Star Trek and The X-Men (and The Avengers). He was in the BBC tv movie I, Claudius (1976) ... I had to watch as I had read the books I, Claudius and Claudius the God. And I saw him in Excalibur (1981) and Dune (1984).

But I will always like him best as Captain Picard of the starship Enterprise. He was an example to me, so wise, always doing what was right.

Here is the end of the last episode of the series Star Trek: The Next Generation, titled All Good Things..., in which Captain Picard joins the crew's poker game for the very first time ...
