I was never a Trekkie, but he grew on me because of his Shakespearian flair. One of these days I’ll catch his renditions of the Bard’s sonnets.
I didn’t originally think he was right for the captains role in STNG, but he really developed the character and I later enjoyed what he accomplished with the role.
Oddly enough, reality seems to have followed fiction here. His character later suffers from a dementia like disease.
Jean-Luc Picard suffers from Irumodic Syndrome, a degenerative neurological disorder similar to dementia.[1]
Key Facts About Picard’s Condition
- Nature of the Disease: It is a degenerative brain condition affecting the parietal lobe, causing synaptic pathway deterioration, confusion, hallucinations, mood swings, and memory loss.
Engage Mr Stewart !
Well done.

The Logan movie kinda pissed me off
Wolverine as an “old man” has-been driving a limo in Las Vegas (though I liked that Chrysler 300 platform)
Professor X having the brain tremors/seizures that f’ed everyone in a 100-yard radius
Both those guys getting killed
I was not happy
