Harold Pinter-Quotes

Why am I NOT MOURNING the death of Patrick Stewart? I first saw Stewart as Picard after having known only Kirk, and I always found him weak by comparison. Kirk had URGENCY. Sisko had STRENGTH. Janeway had FIRE. Archer had FORCE. Picard was just a mealy-mouthed liberal reading Shakespeare in space. Then, in later years, he started lecturing us AMERICANS about politics. In March 2017, he told The View that his friends in D.C. advised him that the best way to make a difference was to "fight, fight, oppose, oppose" TRUMP. He said that applying for U.S. citizenship was his way to "fully engage in the American political system and legally oppose Donald Trump's administration and policies." And he most famously said "The fact is when America sneezes, the world catches a cold. America I think is on the edge of a very bad flu infection and it's because of the man who's in the White House." And I only grew to hate him more. Finally, he willingly participated in the destruction of his own character, Jean-Luc Picard, in the first two seasons of that garbage Paramount+ show. He stood by while they took everything that made Picard GREAT and DECONSTRUCTED it into woke "weak male" garbage. So no, I'm not wearing black today. Because when an actor chooses a side - and that side is AGAINST ME - that actor is already DEAD TO ME. This is just the final nail in his already-closed coffin.

Great actor, but pretentious asshole. RIP
