A few personal words on the passing of Patrick Stewart, the perhaps most influential actor in Star Trek history and the man behind my favorite captain.

Sometimes I think this just can't be true. I'm heartbroken. Patrick Stewart (1940-2026) was a true legend, and for my generation the most important representative of Star Trek. His passing leaves an immeasurable void.

Today we mourn the passing of Walter Koenig, best known for his portrayal as Pavel Chekov in TOS and in seven feature films. He will be remembered for his lasting contribution to Star Trek and for inspiring generations of fans.

More and better pictures and a few new references in Jörg's articles with Observations in TNG: "Déjà Q" and Observations in TNG: "A Matter of Perspective".

I have long wanted to write about this. My new article on Reimagined TOS Characters takes a closer look at how faithful Discovery and particularly Strange New Worlds remain to the originals. Of course, character interpretations are subjective, and this article reflects my own perspective and what I think a prequel should preserve.
