First trailer for ‘ONE LAST ORDER’. The documentary follows a drive-thru worker on her final day of work after 34 years. While she expects a quiet farewell, her town has other plans. Releasing November 24 on Netflix.

There was something extraordinary about the way Sir Patrick Stewart could make even the most powerful characters feel profoundly human. Whether commanding the bridge of the Enterprise or guiding a generation of young mutants, Sir Patrick Stewart brought a tenderness to his characters that made us feel we knew them. Behind that unmistakable voice was an actor who understood that even the greatest heroes could be uncertain, that strength could exist alongside vulnerability, and that compassion was never a weakness. Over a career spanning more than six decades, his performances became woven into the lives of generations who grew up watching him. As Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Professor Charles Xavier, and so many others, he left us with characters we loved, lessons we carried, and memories we'll always treasure.

En 2014, una niña de 11 años pidió conocer a Patrick Stewart. Su familia esperaba que el actor le dedicara apenas dos minutos, pero él se quedó casi veinte. Un fotógrafo tomó unas 5.000 imágenes durante aquella convención. Sin embargo, decidió publicar solamente una. La niña se llamaba Dawn Garrigus y padecía una enfermedad mitocondrial grave. Era admiradora de "Star Trek" y su mayor ilusión era conocer al hombre que interpretaba al capitán Jean-Luc Picard. Gracias a la fundación Make-A-Wish, consiguió reunirse con Stewart durante una convención en Atlanta. Sus padres pensaron que el encuentro sería muy breve. Pero Patrick se sentó junto a Dawn y comenzó a conversar con ella sobre sus personajes favoritos. Le firmó sus figuras de acción y compartieron algunas risas. En un momento, la niña le dijo que era un honor conocerlo. Stewart respondió: "No, el honor es mío". Después de unos quince o veinte minutos, cuando la conversación estaba terminando, Dawn lo abrazó espontáneamente. El fotógrafo James Barker, que había permanecido a cierta distancia para darles privacidad, consiguió capturar aquel instante. Durante los cuatro días de la convención había tomado unas 5.000 fotografías. Pero decidió publicar solamente esa. La imagen se difundió ampliamente y conmovió a miles de personas. El padre de Dawn contó después que aquel encuentro había cambiado su admiración por el actor. Ya no lo recordaba solamente por sus personajes, sino por la manera en que había tratado a su hija. Hoy, 29 de octubre de 2026, se anunció el fallecimiento de Patrick Stewart a los 86 años. Entre tantos papeles inolvidables, también quedan momentos como aquel: una niña que soñaba con conocer a su héroe y un hombre que consiguió hacerla sentir que la persona importante de aquel encuentro era ella.

This is a vile, disgraceful crime. What kind of person looks at the names of innocent people murdered on September 11 and decides to desecrate them? These are the names of people who never came home. People who kissed their children goodbye, went to work, and had their lives stolen. Their families come here to mourn. To see those names defaced is sickening. The 9/11 Memorial is sacred ground. Anyone who comes here must understand what this place means and treat it with the solemnity and respect it demands. Those names are not a canvas for anyone’s hatred. “Never Forget” is a promise to the dead and a duty of the living. Not just on September 11. Every day. Every year. Forever.

Favorite show in years.
Since its première, in 2022, “Slow Horses”—Apple TV’s fast-paced espionage drama about a division of MI5 where the screwups and sluggards end up—has become “a treasure to those in the know, and a nonentity to outsiders,” Inkoo Kang writes. The show, starring Gary Oldman and Jack Lowden, boasts nearly two dozen Emmy nominations, and a few wins, but has never reached the breakout status of “Ted Lasso” or “Severance.” Read why Kang thinks the underrated program is the best on Apple TV:newyorkermag.visitlink.me/Eo…
