Sir Patrick Stewart is best known for his acting, yet supports so many causes that is never mentioned. To me, his work outside of acting is what places him in a class by himself. The world needs more like him

There was a flashback scene in the season 2 premiere of "Picard" that showed bits and pieces of Jean-Luc's mother being abused and assaulted by an unseen entity.

Knowing this part of Patrick Stewart's past, it was quite clear that it was inspired by his own experiences.

With S2's premise being Picard going back to the past to reconcile his present and future, I expect that this will play a significant part in upcoming episodes. And it'll be dark and triggering, but I hope cathartic to viewers somehow.

Amazing man.

I'm lucky in that I was raised in a family with a father who very firmly believed that men didn't hit women.
