1. Love Will Wheaton

2. Is that bad that the others were just coworkers?

3. Pitch this show to the networks.

4. > “There were moments where I wanted to call them to tell them about things. That is a supernatural impulse. Everyone has parents. Every child has a mom and a dad. And you want to share that with them. And I’ve just accepted that when I have that impulse, I text my Star Trek family.”

   The rest of it is worth reading. Which is surprising in our click bait world.

   Or you can watch the source interview here:

5. When we become adults we can choose to make a family out of whoever suits us.

6. I mean I think a lot of us felt parental love from LeVar. 🌈

7. So wholesome. I love JF and LB.

   I wish I was Levar Burton 😉

8. Levar Burton is like a dad to most GenX people.

9. Whill Whheaton ,just ask Stewie

10. In Patrick Stewart’s defense, I don’t think he loved any one on that show until it was almost over. I remember hearing him talk about how he learned a lot about himself and life on TNG. From the stories he told, it was generally the gist of “…and it turned out I was a dick! So I learned not to be a dick about that thing!” but learning that lesson a bunch of times about different things.

11. “Nana, I just beat Sheldon Cooper in a tournament!”

12. Dr. Crusher is sad.

13. Only ? Was he supposed to have more

14. Everything I’ve heard about Burton just leads me to believe the man is as close to a saint as we can get in Hollywood these days. Big Mr. Rogers energy

15. Shut up, Westley!
