Mr. Spock: A Vulcan would face such a loss without tears.
Young Spock: How?
Mr. Spock: By understanding every life comes to an end when time demands it. Loss of life is to be mourned, but only if the life was wasted.

The Royal Shakespeare Company describes the actor as a “colossus”
Close, but he was actually Professor Xavier.
8 daysWith Alzheimers and Lewy Body dementia, I am glad he can rest now.
What a terrible combination of diseases to suffer from simultaneously.

Pretty much. Most have an image of how they wish to go, peacefully in their sleep is a good one. But to have that combination is to be in such a dreadful state. Alas, it is not of our choosing at the end of it all.

Yep, my grandmother had Alzheimer’s/Dementia, if not that bad a case. Fuck both of these diseases.

I didn’t know he was 86, it’s less surprising in that context. Still a bummer, a legend is gone.

One of the greatest Shakespearean actors of the last 100 years and one of the funniest voices in American Dad has died… Also he was in Marvel shit.
Rest in peace Sir Patrick, you are free now.
I swear to Satan if glorious Sir Ian McKellen dies before fucking Trump and terrorist Netanyahu I’m going to lose my shit.

The man had so many good roles. King Richard, Gurney Halleck, that guy in that Toby Hooper movie about space vampires. Do we have to just talk about Star Trek?
RIP Captain Ahab

Shatner was recently on Jonathan Frakes and Brent Spiners podcast and he still looked the same as he did like 20 years ago and still sharp as a tack. I think what help keeps his mind sharp is he stays up to date on stuff. Like he was quite knowledgeable about AI for example. for being 95 he acts like he’s in his late 60s.

It is amazing how long Shatner has kept going. But that is the power of ‘Denny Crane!’ ;)

A great actor, and a decent human. Rest peacefully Captain. You’ve earned it.

From when 1st saw him in dune as a child, I saw him as a role model and father figure. I cried hard all the way home after watching Logan because of him and I never cried in a movie in my life. I hope he understood how much impact he had on the lives of his fans. The characters he played really embodied what it meant to be the change you want in the world.
