Bald Captains Not Allowed
Dare I risk venturing into one of those boring Viewings posts no one likes?
We just finished season one of Star Trek: The Next Generation. It’s gonna be a full rewatch, although I saw at least half of them on the Horror Channel (RIP) about eight years ago. Anyhow, a troubled season one—it only gets better after this. To be fair, it does build towards a pretty strong final few episodes.
So do I like TNG as much as TOS? Probably not. How much of that is sentiment for the show I watched lots as a kid? Hard to say… but definitely a factor.
A short documentary on the final season one disc gave me a chuckle. Gene Roddenberry recalled Patrick Stewart first being suggested as the new Enterprise Captain, and he had his doubts. He wasn’t sure he could cast a bald man in the role!!
I see exactly what you mean, Gene.
