I love the answer Gene Roddenberry gave regarding a bald TNG captain.
At a press conference about Star Trek: The Next Generation, a reporter asked Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry about casting Patrick Stewart, commenting that "Surely by the 24th century, they would have found a cure for male pattern baldness." Gene Roddenberry had the perfect response.
"No, by the 24th century, no one will care."
- wingerlang 9y agoI don't really understand it. Is it because they have fixed it to not become bald in the first place (so no cure needed), or is he just saying no one cares about it?
- paulintrognon 9y agoBecause I guess we'll focus our futur minds on more important things than someone's baldness
- jacobedawson 9y agoMaybe by the 24th century being bald is an affectation for style's sake, and Picard is actually like a 24th century punk.
