HOLLYWOOD HAS HAD a shocker of a year.

At times like this, you have to look to Patrick Stewart’s wholesome and entertaining Twitter account for some light relief.

And he’s had a good 2017.

1. He began by saying goodbye to Obama with a classy touch

2. He’s never afraid to row into an argument

3. His support of Huddersfield Town FC is a source of joy

4. Ah yes, Express Freight

5. He mixes jokes in with some serious campaigning

6. But mostly his three million followers are there for his dog videos

The swimming lesson that wasn't. Our foster pibble Ginger is perfect afternoon company. @ASPCA @WagsandWalks #AdoptDontShop pic.twitter.com/yDWiXbCSXS

13. This is why he’s a good chat show guest

14. He watches stuff in bed like a normal person

15. This does look like a memorial service

16. This shoutout to his son Duncan on his birthday is Dad On Social Media 101

17. There he is, picking apples

And not a Star Trek reference in sight.
