Patrick Stewart - one of the acting greats, an icon and possibly the finest orator in tv and film history and more than that, a working class hero.
We will be celebrating his life on the pod properly soon but for now, he will be hugely missed, from the world of Trek, from Cinema+as a man, R.I.P.

I always liked Pavel Chekhov.
It’s quite a thing though, isn’t it, to play a supporting character who will be part of the fabric of popular culture forever? Good for him. He made a lot of people happy.
RIP Walter Koenig.

R.I.P. Walter Koenig, the man who made the Enterprise crew truly complete when he joined Star Trek at the start of its second season in 1967 as Pavel Chekov.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today.
Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.
