Enjoy your laurels, Doctor. I’m not sure I could.
More and more when you see the fans it makes sense, like I had somebody—it started sort of normally: “I just wanted to thank you, it was very important… When I went to my first foster home, we went to the living room they turned on their TV, and your face was on the screen, and we all sat and watched that show.” He said, “I think you just became my mother-figure, you became sort of this voice of reason.” Then we were talking and I thought isn’t that interesting and then he said, “and you know, through all 12 foster homes.” And I was like [visibly taken aback] — from all 12 foster homes you were the constant because your show was on the air, and you were the constant in my life. You take what you can get, and if you get constancy from watching a figure on television, and that’s going to help you survive—that’s great.

tbh beverly crusher is everyones rock, like yeah everyone is there all the time but you know that she is the one character that if you suddenly beamed onto the show that you could trust and know would fight for you, we barely got to see her outside her mothering doctor role but in the brief glimpses of her LIFE you could see this marvelous stable human being who had friends and extracurriculars and whatnot, she could not so much coerce but encourage someone into doing something she knew would be good for them, picard and children or pretty much anyone and theatre, beverly crusher is a rock, she is a solid point for kids who need that and even adults to reach out and touch, to be touched by, all in all, that is why, beverly crusher, is my favorite, and gives ME hope, tng (via indelible-space)
