Is baldness really stigmatized today? Besides Patrick Stewart we've got Jason Statham Bruce Willis Howie Mandel Damon Wayons Samuel L Jackson Probably a lot more

It's more that awful attempts to hide or minimize baldness is stigmatized. Obvious wigs or pieces, bad comb-overs, sprays and such. Owning it works. Commercials still sell the horror of it though, and that wouldn't work if people didn't see it as a bad thing. Sold it even more when TNG came out, as that was still the age of hair club for men and it's ilk. remusclaw fucked around with this message at 22:25 on Apr 26, 2017 |

I dated a balding dude for years but he had a rockin' bod and the only time I noticed he was balding was when he was the one that called attention to it. Reminds me of the famous words of wisdom: "you can be fat, you can be bald, but don't let yourself be fat and bald." Being bald on top of looking shabby is just a multiplier of your shabbiness. Being bald while looking sleek is a multiplier of your aerodynamic qualities. Case in point: Rom

Baldness is still kinda stigmatized. That's not to say that a bald/ing man can't be considered good-looking or respectable by society, but chances are, when you picture a sad, pathetic, lonely older man, you're going to imagine him balding.vermin posted:I'm a pakled Hey gently caress you buddy

Being ugly is stigmatized, a lot of people can be bald or balding and not look ugly.

TNG always used to make a big deal about what great shape Picard was in, mainly in the early seasons. Not a big deal one way or another but something that's noticeable enough.

Dude, I know someone who is bald and while he keeps the rest of his hair, he lets that part grow long like a Terry Bradshaw, looks really ugly.

twistedmentat posted:Kind of a decent summery of the issues with Discovery Trendacosta (who, to be fair, is one of i09's better writers -- granted, that's not saying much) really, really gives Fuller an undeserved free pass, despite citing two articles which say that CBS was getting pissed at how long he was taking before being ready to shoot episodes. He asked for and received one delay from CBS, but at some point you need to poo poo or get off the pot, and the last sentence of that story (saying that if Discovery sucks, it's entirely CBS' fault) is bullshit.

The only worthwhile writer they have now is Evan Narcisse. io9 was my go-to sci-fi news site 3 years ago, but lately it's been AICN levels of terrible.

What are the must-watch episodes on TNG?

The real simple uniforms make sense as a - you know - uniform, although I think the TOS ones are the actually most flexible in terms of hosed-up aliens. As for other poo poo, I imagine the real reason they didn't make it fancy for hew-mons is to save money and labor. Or possibly to keep them boring in Voyager.

I can't lurk this thread in good conscience without giving Frame of Mind a nod in addition to the other episodes that have been mentioned. It might be my favorite TNG episode period.

Brothers (esp. after watching Family) First Contact ("always wanted to make love to an alien", not the movie) Half a Life (the only must-watch Lwaxana Troi, also David Ogden Stiers)Probably can think of more on the way to work.

This is the mark of a good series, when people keep expanding the must watch list. For Voy or Ent, there would be arguments about what things that people have in their list should be kicked off.

Haven't seen it since I was a kid, though, should see how those "this was on broadcast TV?  " effects look in the remaster.

I enjoy Family, but only the Picard stuff -- Worf's parents are so, so over-the-top that it's painful and the subplot about the Crushers is just boring.
