  • Poor writers, they never get any credit

  • Stewart was, to me, an archetypal man's man.in Picard. Embodying a real man to me in so many ways. The author is right in this eulogy of a great actor and a great role.

    That out of the way, Brooks' Sisco is the much better captain, man, father, and role model and Brooks' acting in Ben, I feel, does a much better job.

    I will sorely miss Stewart, as we all should. All the captains' actors and writers who made them should be too. What a great franchise and body of effort and work.

  • I think the most memorable of the Picard-focused TNG stories for me was "Tapestry". It really hammered home how much of one's potential is lost when one never takes risks.
  • So many posts and comments are saying the same thing. I guess it's one of the things we remember most about Patrick Stewart and his portrayal of a starship captain. The quintessential captain. Honorable, wise, but humble, diplomatic, reasonable, with high morals, and fortitude under pressure.

    Nah, I got my partner into TNG during the pandemic and she was in her thirties. It was our comfort show during that time, one episode a day.

  • I find it fairly amazing that they could say this without mentioning the episode "The measure of a man" in which Picard literally makes the case.

    Perhaps it is uncomfortable for people to think about now.
