Was great in Oblivion. RIP

He played one of the most exemplary men of the last century, and brought life to an ideal of what humanity could aspire to be. The fiction was a vehicle, and through it he represented our best.

I didn't know anything about him other than his work, which is perhaps as fine an epitaph as any man could have.

In Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (1979), Patrick Stewart has a short appearance near the very end as soviet KGB mastermind Karla.

Never have I seen such presence and charisma squeezed into so short a scene.

There dies part of my childhood. RIP, you gave the world so much!

RIP Patrick Stewart, he will always be Picard and Xavier to me.

He saw everything

Am I the only one who regularly tells Claude to "make it so"?

RIP

I commend you to the stars

Picard out.

Make it so.
