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!

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”.
