I never saw Patrick Stewart at a convention and didn’t come with him into direct contact in any way when working on #StarTrekPicard but there’s one Patrick Stewart/Jean-Luc Picard related achievement that only I have ever made - find proof that Patrick Stewart exists in the #StarTrek universe. 1/10
The problem I have with “universe” here is that it isn’t specific enough. A term as encompassing as universe can mean actors, directors, and all the stuff that makes Trek and not just what shows up on the stories told. Canonically specifically tells us he exists within the context of the stories Trek tells. Even if it’s just a blurry prop.
