What a great actor...

Gotta give TNG credit.
Until Picard, male leads had always been either male model types, or quirky, eccentric characters.
Picard was an older, balding, frail looking man, who had no funny quirks or eccentricities, and I thought at the time that it would never work.
No one was going to buy into his character.
But Stewart sold the character, and he became the epitome of authority and leadership.

Eventually the crew noticed the guy was never around and was neglecting his duties. So Riker shuts down the holodeck and gives the guy a talking to. then the holobater guy lost it and started crying.
it was so unintentionally funny.
Beyond that, I couldn't stand TNG. I've seen all of the original series and loved those. TNG didn't have the same appeal because the Captain Picard character doesn't have any swagger. Kirk was the shit. He wasnt afraid to slap a bitch if he had to, and if that didn't work, he would seduce a green skinned ho.
And nobody on TNG looks as good as Uhura did in her prime.

Not sure about swagger, but he was, as I said, the very picture of authority.
And I'd trade you 5 Uhura's for Ensign Ro.
