    Not that I would ever wish any ill on Stewart. Nice guy, but Shatner’s Kirk is way more enjoyable as a a captain than Cap’n Crunch there.

    Edit: I kind of expected this. People seem to be conflating Mr Stewart, whom I do mention I think was a nice guy, with the character he played, which I think was not very interesting, but hey.

    However, people are right in pointing out that the comment was ill timed.

      You could’ve just kept that one to yourself. Especially in a thread commemorating the death of the guy you’re railing against.

      Only a heartless, soulless clanker could write something like that, mere hours after Sir Patrick Stewart’s passing, all while the entire planet is grieving the loss of one of the greatest persons who walked on this Earth.

      Sincerely, FUCK YOU ASSHOLE.

      I think it’s just because you’ve not only chosen to be wrong, but you’ve chosen a less than great time to be wrong about this in particular.
