R.I.P. Patrick Stewart

I had my 1st back surgery in '92 at the wee young age of 21. I was usually running around chasing girls instead of watching TV but that put me down for about 3 months. Looked forward to the 6-8 block on some station that played 2 episodes of ST:NG and in that time it turned out I watch most of the episodes. After that I made it a point to be somewhere to watch the current season and/or record it. He's been my captain ever since.

Also, and I mean this as a nice warning, don't read his autobiography. It's one of those don't meet your hero type of situations.
