HAPPY PICARD DAY!
HAPPY PICARD DAY!
To celebrate Picard day ( my first time celebrating it ) I wanted to give my thought on TNG so far. I’m about done with the first season and there’s been a lot of good episodes and some episodes that are pretty boring ( sorry 😢 ) however every episode Captain Picard is the reason I finish it no matter if it’s a good or great episode or if it’s a boring episode. Picard is a very stern and serious character but can also be very caring and since he’s so serious when you see those moments of him being caring and nice and going out of his way for others it really shines bright and shows that Captain Picard is one of the best characters in Star Trek. Also Patrick Stewart is so good at his job!

Fun fact: there's a trope called "Growing the Beard", which is the opposite to "Jumping the Shark" wherein there is a dramatic difference between "before and after" through a series run. The trope got its name from Star Trek: NTG after Commander Riker grew out his beard which coincided with a significant improvement of the show, with an increase in quality and the show growing into its own identity.
And all because like your's truly, Jonathan Frakes hates the act of shaving.
I move we rename this trope to Legover The Chairs.
I get where you're coming from, but as someone who enjoys looking at Riker with the beard, I do prefer the trope of "Growing the Beard".

Sisko became more interesting as a character once he grew a beard too.I remain convinced Sisko's beard was actually a changeling. Jury's out on Riker.
@asherbasher@lemmy.world I nominate Halt and Catch Fire from season 2 onwards. I liked season 1, but it found a new level when Donna and Cameron started their studio.
