Seeing news that Patrick Stewart has died. Dang that sucks.

I think this is the first time a celebrity death has hit me really hard, and I didn't really know what to do with it all day Friday. TNG is "my" Trek, it's safety and comfort whenever the world is too loud, and Picard is my favourite captain by a long way.

Opted in the end for popping the last few eps of Picard on, balled my eyes out again at

Spoiler

the reveal of the restored Enterprise D bridge

and felt a bit better.

Reading and listening to so many lovely tributes from people who worked with him has been both sad and lovely over the weekend. He seemed like a lovely person.
