You know, I just realized how dumb it is that I grew up on TNG and yet have never written a bald dude into my sci-fi.

I need to stop sucking and do that.

It's that Picard-being-bald thing: it's not that they won't have a cure for baldness in the 25th century, it's that humanity will be long extinct by then.

That's not where I thought this was going to go :(
