I still laugh at the overused, simplistic joke that there is still no cure for baldness in the future.

All Good Things...

I wonder if the show will enjoy any guest stars from the original ST:TNG cast?

Bald Picard is bad enough. The bald holographic doctor from ST:V is worse.

I worry that it will be awful. Maybe they'll surprise me and come up with some good stories.

You're *****ing because they are bald? lol

lol Sam. No. Not the bald characters but the presence of baldness in the distant medically advanced future. It is like Rogaine research peaked in the early 21st century.

Heck. How many times has any of the various series' ship doctor cured some unknown deadly disease? Yet, baldness is still kicking it. It is not as much as being a big deal as it is something completely unreasonable to assume still exists.

Yes, I'm laughing because they were bald. Why is laughing blocked out in your post? Keep in my I've been bald for 20 years. I find it amusing. Doesn't bother me, but it does make me laugh.

So that's Darth Vader before he wore the mask?

EDIT: All that is needed now is a scene of Vader looking out the port of an Imperial Star Destroyer and say, "Engage."

I'm an enormous Star Trek fan and I'm not worried about it being bad at all.

It's going to be good or it's not. If it's bad, I likely won't watch it so much. I'm of the opinion that it's not that important and people who get all crazy because something doesn't meet their expectations really need to find something more important to them to invest so much energy into it. There are several Star Trek's that aren't that good and obviously people have opinions about all the non-original Star Trek movies. The constant hate (over the course of years) on Jar Jar Binks was unbearable to listen to.

Will I be unhappy that it isn't good? Yeah, hell. I was very unhappy about season eight of GoT. I'm over it though. The great thing about Picard is it won't be the last Star Trek. We've got four other new Star Treks coming besides Picard!

The doctor was made to look like his creator. That guy was bald because karma. He's a jerk and deserved it!

That doesn't say laughing.

They've disappointed me a ton lately with bad Trek. IMO the reboot movies are abysmal. Then Discovery season 1 was equally bad. I do, however, think Discovery got significantly better in season 2, specifically with the character of Saru. They started doing some good things, so maybe there's hope. On the bright side, I think The Orville Star Trek knock-off was outstanding. So maybe the new Picard show can be good. We'll see.

Baldness IS the cure!!

Make it so!

Orville is pretty good, as long as you understand that none of it is meant to be taken seriously.

Shame it's going to be for streaming only. I'm not paying for another source of entertainment.

What exactly was wrong with the reboots? Heck, Discovery too? I've liked them both. At best I had some issues with the later movies prior to the reboot. That said, I will still watch them and do not hate them at all.

I would recommend not applying expectations to show / movies coming out. Then, take them for what they are. That I believe is the very reason I was so sorely disappointed in GoT season eight. I expected the greatness that made the books so great, but clearly. Writers not named GRRM suck at GoT writing.
