    I’m an atheist. Sometimes I come across the question of where I get my morality. I often refer to TNG in my mind. What would Picard do? He would ask his crew for information, assess the situation, and give orders.

    So much of my right and wrong came from his portrayal of that character. Today is a black day.

      Im not a celebrity worshipper. I don’t read tabloids but as a latchkey Xenial. He was my TV dad. Every Sunday night I would go to bed and watch MASH and then Star Trek. From age of 9 to 15. It sparked my interest in scifi

      I got a lot of of my morals through that show and ironically Roseanne, despite the wildebeast she turned into later in life.

      His loss hurt. They usually don’t, even for people who’s shows, movies and music I like. But this one stung far more than I thought it would.

      Avengers doomsday is going to be even more heartbreaking knowing it’s his last performance and watching his world get destroyed.

      I only watched this about 50 times last night. https://youtu.be/kH1XlwHQv9o?is=Q2jaVTpEvsYnraTc

      The nuanced stoicism he brought to the leadership and mentor roles like Jean Luc Picard and the maniacal aloofness he brought to roles like Director Avery Bullock… I am happy to have experienced his characters.

      Make it so.
