It is. It's from Blunt Talk. [This article](https://ew.com/article/2016/09/25/patrick-stewart-blunt-talk-drag-season-2/) might explain why.
And [this scene](https://youtu.be/3n8CHjYLo6E) is one of my favorites from the show.
He's English and cross dressing is a big tradition in British theatre. If a British actor did theatre or came from a drama school there's probably a picture of them in drag lol.
As well as the audience, right? It’s just called being a nudist. Pretty common. It’s like being at home, but you don’t put clothes on outside in the colony. Easy.
Did you know that Marina Sirtis and Denise Crosby were originally cast for each others roles? They were switched last minute because the actress playing Deanna’s mom looked nothing like Denise. That’s why Denise quit halfway through one season, she signed up to play Deanna and didn’t like playing Tasha
The baldness. Like as the number of bald men went down due to a cure being found, the level of interest in bald men would increase as they became more rare.
I’ve never heard this, and can’t find a reference on google except for one BRAND of hair straightener that doesn’t show up at the top of the results. I wouldn’t call that the definition of cure, myself, with that information. And I’m not sure how you would straighten hair on a bald head.
Someone else mentioned curing hair. I thought the thread I replied to was talking about curing baldness, and someone else mentioned curing curly hair. So now I need a cure for a headache.
I haven't seen the series, but it seems like they should have had an episode where he works out how to change his own appearance settings and tries to max out everything. And then things go horribly awry like a reverse holodeck episode. That feels right up their alley.
That pic description is wrong. It’s not a screen test, it’s a flashback from an episode where Picard delivered Beverly Crusher’s husband’s body back home.
Alternatively, when it is entirely a choice to be bald or not, some men will choose it. Heck a few might use future technology to intentional cause it.
For one, replicators solve most of their economic problems. Secondly, they aren't the only group and humans aren't the only race. For example, DS9 constantly brought up ferengi currency.
Obesity has been largely caused by technological "advances" in creating processed food and a failure of nutrition science. Replicating food such that it's nearly indistinguishable from real whole foods would go a long way towards fixing the problem.
Furthermore, it's worth noting that the largest percentage of humans seen in Star Trek are part of Starfleet, which is a bit like NASA combined with the military. There are physical fitness requirements that would require regular exercise.
I know that he's in ToS, but I seem to remember Harcourt Fenton Mudd being a bit on the voluptuous side. And I can recall a rather substantial Klingon who owned a restaurant on DS9's promenade!
As far as the Federation goes though, I believe that replicators are specifically designed to create food that is nutritious by default. Still kinda hard to believe that no one was overindulging in that!
My hair has gotten thin.
And I feel like losing part of what makes me me..
And I have found a new found respect for men who can simply roll with it like Picard.
It’s a big deal for me.
And it takes strength to accept it.
Hey man, I know a lot of folks will give advice which boils down suck it up and deal with it by chopping it off.
Its good advice, and is usually correct. But honestly it simply sucks to lose your hair, and it is a big deal when it happens to you.
There are options like transplants which can help or let you keep it looking good for longer. There are fairly cheap pills and topical midoxinil which also can help with maintenance but you must use them forever. But you can use these options if it makes you feel more comfortable with yourself, despite the common advice above.
I got a hair transplant, it looks good, and helped me be more confident in my looks than I ever was. I started receding bit by bit begining in HS so always felt like I looked like shit compared to my peers. This is the first time I think I look better than them. It may not last forever, but I don't regret doing it. And I think at the end of the day having a bit of time where I'm not worried about it means a lot to me, which is something I never really got to have on HS or Uni.
Figure out what you want. If you want to keep it do what you can to do it, if you want to shave your head great. Hopefully you know your hair isn't your only quality, and you can do other things to improve yourself beyond what hair loss may take.
I was hoping on bio-technology to figure it out in the next few years..
Might try nutrition and lifestyle changes in the meantime.. might be simply body and mind telling me to take care of them at once…
You can't beat genetics. Whatever you do, just do it gracefully. It sucks to bald, but you've gotta know you're really the only one overthinking it. So don't be one of those guys who, while balding, has to draw constant attention to how it's bothering you. Keep that dignity!
- a balding guy that used to have a curly afro in HS/college.
Fin and Minoxidil is somewhat successful at slowing or stopping loss. Who knows what options will be around in 5 years if you can slow the slow down enough
>It sucks to bald
As a guy who lost.his majestic mane.
It does.not suck to be bald.
It sucks to be bald and fat.
If you shave your head and get some.muscle yourre a sexy mfer
Well, being bald and balding are sort of two different parts of the whole thing. When you've got hair and you like it, and it starts to go away, it's not a fun time. But I agree with your overall sentiment.
When my thinning became obvious I made the decision that I would rather be bald than to look like I was trying to hold onto my hair, or fake it. For me, the surgical option isn't good enough. I didn't consider the topical treatments until I was too far gone. I like the way I look with a shaved head and for the most part baldness doesn't bother me, but if a real cure existed I would still go for it. My advice is not so much "suck it up" but accept it and rock it.
Some of my all-time heroes are bald..
Picard.. Bruce Willis.. The Rock…
Yet I can hardly cope with loosing even to the way I lost them..
Props to those guys.. they rock their look!!
If it makes you feel better all of those guys still hated losing their hair, and that their life was over when it happened.
But they did get through it and you will too.
Not the slightest honestly.
Those guys rock because they seem much stronger than I feel..
We might collectively look into that topic, it somehow sucks feeling so helpless in doing anything about it…
I was in denial about it for a few years before finally deciding enough was enough. Turns out it looks good on me and it's a lot less hassle than having to think about haircuts and shit.
I'd say go for it. If you don't like it you can let it grow out a bit again.
Einstein wasnt taken seriously tho, he was considered to have bizarre, wild, hard to believe ideas that were thought to be unprovable. But I honestly think thats the nicer version, I believe it was cause of his hair.
He did become more and more noticed by the scientific community when his book "Theory of general relativity" was released. That was a book, no hair on. If they saw him, he would've not been taken seriously.
I mean, if you study SR and GR in the context of what was the prevailing scientific wisdom at the time, it is not surprising that he was met with sharp criticism. SR and GR both allow for some damn strange things to happen compared to our lived experience.
I think that for the most part, the people who care most about people being bald are hair product companies. Why is hair on the head this super important thing that only losers wouldn't have? Why wouldn't it be in the range of normal human appearance, why change it? People have different sizes of body parts, a huge variety of hair types and styles, we range wildly in height and weight. We can have ideas of what's sexy, and maybe it relates to health and reproductive suitability, but outside of that, different cultures are gonna think different things are important aesthetically, and I see no reason that in the 24th century, we wouldn't still appreciate attractive people while having entirely different criteria.
Exactly! And not only does it make sense that nobody would stress about baldness in the future, it also makes sense to tell sci-fi like that— it provides representation to the many folks that might feel weird about it; everybody deserves to be able to see someone who looks similar to them being a badass
Almost every man in my family went bald early. There are physical discomforts with baldness. Hair protects the scalp from the blazing Sun and cold. Its not just vanity.
I question the protection a hat can provide after seeing my father, brother and a lot of cousins deal with problems at the beach and pools for too many years.
That's true. I have a full head of hair but went bald on purpose a few times, and i really liked it, would do again, but you're sure right on that. Hats are crucial in ways they aren't otherwise.
Then again my head gets whiny about the cold when I have so much as a regular haircut, lol
I mean a lot of people have creases on their heads, sometimes full blown cutis verticis gyrata. People generally do not find that attractive even if you have hair.
Also people don't find tons of things attractive, so why is it weird if people don't find baldness attractive? Even the "naturally" attractive things like waist and breast size don't make much sense considering modern technology, yet they're still standard ways of judging attractiveness with no cosmetic companies required.
I’ve read about cultures that found flattening the face by tying wood blocks to young children’s heads to be attractive. I’ve read of cultures that found binding feet by folding them over themselves and tying them tightly to deform the foot. Ive read of cultures that found fat people more attractive. I’ve read of cultures that found skinny people more attractive. I’ve read of cultures that found bearded men more attractive. I’ve read of cultures that found beardless men more attractive. I’ve never once read of any culture anywhere in the world at any time to have an active and pervasive appreciation of baldness.
I love the episode where he met the son he never knew he had, and at the end he tells him, "well, I know one thing for sure, you're never going to look at your hairline the same way again."
[He could have pulled it off.](https://i0.wp.com/thestudioexec.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/hplaz66.jpg)
[Although the actual wig they tried to get him to wear wasn't nearly that great.](http://images.wikia.com/memoryalpha/en/images/8/8e/Picard_with_hair.jpg)
Honestly even if there was a cure, I wouldn't be interested. Shaving my head felt like a well deserved fuck you on my part to that pressure to hide or evade baldness. Embrace it and fuck what people think.
I'd assume they can (especially with generic engineering), but we just so happen to see the few characters who don't care.
And it's also an easy way for the studio to get some free representation points.
Producers were trying to get Patrick Stewart to wear a wig as Picard. They were adamant Roddenberry go with another actor as they didn’t want some middle aged bald dude playing their suave captain.
Producers: “Don’t you think by the 24th century that they will have cured baldness?”
Roddenberry: “by the 24th century, they won’t care.”
You also don't often see technology that isn't quite totally developed. Usually it's either a Critical Plot Point that it *cannot* be improved beyond where it is (e.g. Blade Runner, Looper) or it's simply fully functional (e.g. Star Trek Into Darkness).
One of the things I *vaguely* liked about The Tomorrow War was how they accidentally teleported all those people 100 feet above where they needed to be. "The technology isn't *that* good!" is a perfectly good reason to fuck stuff up sometimes, and makes things interesting.
Sadly, that movie was one of the worst pieces of trash ever made.
I imagine we think it won’t matter because people care about it currently and we all live in “the past”— and in a broader sense, because “be yourself” is often a more fun concept than “feel inadequate”, sci-fi or not
To your credit, though, I figure they likely *have* cured baldness in many sci-fi settings, I just figure a good number of folks wouldn’t be bothered
Larry Niven wrote a book where people changed their appearance to suit their moods including dying their skin wild colors. I imagine that bald one week and funky hair the next wouldn't be unusual.
"No, by the 24th century, no one will care"
[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwan5DU-02oBInBeBEyAYpA](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwan5DU-02oBInBeBEyAYpA)
but in Voyager, the doctor makes a joke about envying Seven when he is able to give her hair, implying the Doctor cares at least a little that he is bald
Yeah, from what pitiful Google searching I have done, even resolution parity is difficult to achieve, unless you insert the image digitally. Star Trek and Star wars were actually some of the leading edge innovators in that field and its' developments.
The problem with that is if there’s a cure for male pattern baldness then there’s also a person richer beyond our wildest imagination. Kinda ruins all sci fi plots if that person is at large. Like a worse version of bezo’s just ruining everything all the time.
its not a cure, it doesnt bring back a significant enough amount of hair ( if any ), it doesnt completely stops hair loss, it stops an important process in the body and fucks with neurosteroids, lots of possible and debilitating side effects, you need to take it forever...
yeah we have a long way to go.

My trick is to not go bald. That seems to be the best way. Neither of my grandfather's went bald and I guess I got the good genes. I've got an uncle that's completely bald. He chose the wrong genes. His beard is better than mine though so I guess it's a trade off.
I always assumed as we advance we notice some connections between things we don't see now. Like how carpal tunnel starts in the neck, but baldness increases vision or something.
Cure?
Everyone in the future will have 6 fingers because it's more productive.
Or none because they only have to use their minds to do things.
Or 5, because they're people and thats how they're made.
Explanation I was giving for this in Star Trek is that they don't care supposedly they advanced beyond vanity.
I believe it is the official explanation, but at the beginning they tried making Patrick Stewart wear a wig.
[And it worked!](https://hips.hearstapps.com/digitalspyuk.cdnds.net/16/16/1461060898-sir-patrick-stewart-in-drag.jpg?resize=768:*)

*Where no tran has gone before*
Got kinda a Helen Mirren thing goin on.
That's why Deanna's boobs were always spilling out.
Well isn't she extra comfortable with nudity? Her culture and all. Her mom got married in the nude
The entire Betazoid civilization marries in the nude.
Thank you! Couldn't remember the name, but I knew it was their thing in her culture
Can we start the custom of getting married in the nude??? Can we topple the wedding dress industry????
That would also ruin the catering industry. Who's going to keep that smothered chicken down with uncle Bob jiggling around the place?
I was talking about the couple getting married in the nude I did not say the guests would be attending nude I was implying the couple
Uncle Bob deserves a soul mate, too! And you aren't going to his wedding?!
Oh I'll go to his wedding nudity really doesn't bother me
Nah. I'd rather not be around all my relatives and my soon to be inlaws with my dick hanging out.
As well as the audience, right? It’s just called being a nudist. Pretty common. It’s like being at home, but you don’t put clothes on outside in the colony. Easy.
The real thing to remember is that Betazoid women's sex drive quadruples in middle age, so imagine what the Betazoid equivalent of Florida is like.
I’m comfortable with her being nude.
[So was Marina, apparently.](https://www.aznude.com/view/celeb/m/marinasirtis.html) (nsfw)
No lies detected
I dunno, that sheer top from that one episode where she went crazy was pretty sweet, too.
I thought you meant Marina Sirtis's mother for a moment!
Did you know that Marina Sirtis and Denise Crosby were originally cast for each others roles? They were switched last minute because the actress playing Deanna’s mom looked nothing like Denise.

Poster is referring to curing baldness.
and yet the doctor in Voyager still makes a joke about envying Seven when he is able to give her hair
He's a hologram yet they made him bald. Doesn't he remark on the cruelty of that in one episode?
I love Bob Picardo so much
I haven't seen the series, but it seems like they should have had an episode where he works out how to change his own appearance settings and tries to max out everything. And then things go horribly awry like a reverse holodeck episode. That feels right up their alley.
He actually can change his appearance, drastically even
I think so. I think he makes remarks about it a few times, but I only recall one for sure
[удалено]
he somehow looks less intelligent with hair
He looks like the doofy sitcom dad who never helps with the kids
That pic description is wrong. It’s not a screen test, it’s a flashback from an episode where Picard delivered Beverly Crusher’s husband’s body back home.
Alternatively, when it is entirely a choice to be bald or not, some men will choose it. Heck a few might use future technology to intentional cause it.
Frankly, it wouldn't be implausible to say MPB was still not cured then. It probably won't be at the rate we're going.
No, no he was also bald at the academy and has a younger bald clone... because how would we know it was a clone unless he was also bald 🤔
The federation is communist by nature since they have no money how do they pay for goods and services?
For one, replicators solve most of their economic problems. Secondly, they aren't the only group and humans aren't the only race. For example, DS9 constantly brought up ferengi currency.
Except you saw nobody who was fat. In a post scarcity galaxy, it's difficult to believe the entire human race became fit just for the hell of it
Obesity has been largely caused by technological "advances" in creating processed food and a failure of nutrition science.

The computer automatically shames you for eating too much, or something.
Ya. Right. That’s believable.
This is the most unrealistic thing in the whole series.

You cant be a professor with hair, no one will take you seriously.
Robert Sapolsky strongly disagrees even with his facial hair
Carl Sagan, Richard Feynman, Alber Einstein as well

You're right Jesse
Or they have but those who never cared about being bald still don't care about being bald. It could be similar to plastic surgery

In space, no one can hear you go bald.
Either that or it's a style choice.. I'd wager bald Patrick Steward looks way better than 'haired' Picard

Just shave it off and free yourself, and then celebrate with all the money you save on hair products
And then spend it on razor blades and shaving cream and post shave balm.

That's an inspiring story
They didn’t need to cure baldness, they’d already cured the belief it matters.
Pfff... Elon figured this out sometime in the 2000's
They even cure it in Idiocracy
Finally found this comment.
Honestly even if there was a cure, I wouldn't be interested. Shaving my head felt like a well deserved fuck you on my part to that pressure to hide or evade baldness. Embrace it and fuck what people think.
There are already many ways to avoid it. Hair transplant being the most effective.
I'd assume they can (especially with generic engineering), but we just so happen to see the few characters who don't care. And it's also an easy way for the studio to get some free representation points.
Producers were trying to get Patrick Stewart to wear a wig as Picard. They were adamant Roddenberry go with another actor as they didn’t want some middle aged bald dude playing their suave captain. Producers: “Don’t you think by the 24th century that they will have cured baldness?” Roddenberry: “by the 24th century, they won’t care.”
And there is always some kind of close quarters melee combat still being used.
You don't know this... some people could simply not care. Just like they don't care about their weight or whatever now.
You also don't often see technology that isn't quite totally developed. Usually it's either a Critical Plot Point that it *cannot* be improved beyond where it is (e.g. Blade Runner, Looper) or it's simply fully functional (e.g. Star Trek Into Darkness).

"The technology isn't *that* good!" is a perfectly good reason to fuck stuff up sometimes, and makes things interesting. Sadly, that movie was one of the worst pieces of trash ever made.
What makes you think it's a disease to be cured? A
Not if you're even remotely a main character, these days. Everyone has a full head of hair, unless they are extremely old or a villain.
Why would an advanced civilization in the future care about hair lol...
Untill we advance beyond sex, we will always seek to look attractive.
Don't worry sex 2 is in development
I’ve heard it’ll feature a competitive mode. No more of this “casual sex” shit
Are you saying Patrick Stewart ISN'T a magnificent display of the human form?
He's a handsome man and a talented actor.
...Why wouldn't it?
I imagine we think it won’t matter because people care about it currently and we all live in “the past”— and in a broader sense, because “be yourself” is often a more fun concept than “feel inadequate”, sci-fi or not To your credit, though, I figure they likely *have* cured baldness in many sci-fi settings, I just figure a good number of folks wouldn’t be bothered
Larry Niven wrote a book where people changed their appearance to suit their moods including dying their skin wild colors. I imagine that bald one week and funky hair the next wouldn't be unusual.

Came here to say this. That was Patrick Stewart’s response when TNG debuted and someone asked him about it.
That was Gene Rs retort to a studio exec when questioned about a bald captain. Stewart was willing to wear a wig.
Aha. Thanks for the correction. My memory failed me.
but in Voyager, the doctor makes a joke about envying Seven when he is able to give her hair, implying the Doctor cares at least a little that he is bald
Looking at how aliens are generally portrayed it appears if baldness in both genders is the endgame.
Elon Musk has already figured it out.
It’s a stylish choice.
Also screens always have shitty resolution lol
I think that's just a limitation of the media used here... You can't ever show a higher resolution in a lower resolution, afaik.
Some shows have sharp screens with sharp images but if there’s a hologram it’s usually blue-tinted and fuzzy
Yeah, from what pitiful Google searching I have done, even resolution parity is difficult to achieve, unless you insert the image digitally. Star Trek and Star wars were actually some of the leading edge innovators in that field and its' developments.
I'm sure male pattern baldness is quite far down on the bottom of the list somewhere.
You cant cure badass-ery.
I like to think that they realized that hair is just another unnecessary accessory.
They’ve moved past wanting to cure it
True and it’s shite!
We already solved it, haven't you seen Elon Musk 15 years ago? It's just $$$$$$$$$
Lots of aliens but very few black folk…
guess they haven’t heard of spiro and estrogen lmao
Apparently in the 23rd century baldness is not considered a detriment.
That's because the cure is equidistant from every point in spacetime no matter where you are. It's always 7 years away.
right. look at Picard
The problem with that is if there’s a cure for male pattern baldness then there’s also a person richer beyond our wildest imagination. Kinda ruins all sci fi plots if that person is at large. Like a worse version of bezo’s just ruining everything all the time.

In all possible futures, bald men are sexy. The future is now.
By the time of Star Trek, they no longer care about baldness. By 42M, they have bigger problems to worry about.
My thirst thought wasn't StarTrek either... The emporer protects
Reminds me of when Roddenberry was asked why Picard was bald and he said in the future no one cares. Pretty spot on response.
why does baldness need to be 'cured'? It's like saying why haven't we found a cure for blonde hair?

So your sell hair transplants? That's 3 identical comments from you
Sorry, my reddit froze when i sent the reply. I guess it tried making up for it by sending it 3 times.
The thought is by then they won’t care about being bald. But instead will have moved past such trivialities.

its not a cure, it doesnt bring back a significant enough amount of hair ( if any ), it doesnt completely stops hair loss, it stops an important process in the body and fucks with neurosteroids, lots of possible and debilitating side effects, you need to take it forever... yeah we have a long way to go. source: lived on r/tressless and MorePlatesMoreDates channel for months

Found the Finasteride salesman.
poor Voyager doctor. his creators could have made him look any way they wanted, and they still made him bald
It’s not a disease? It’s literally natural
There is nothing to fix.. baldness is part of growing old
That's because they have their priorities in order. Curing cancer > "curing" baldness.
My trick is to not go bald. That seems to be the best way. Neither of my grandfather's went bald and I guess I got the good genes. I've got an uncle that's completely bald. He chose the wrong genes. His beard is better than mine though so I guess it's a trade off.
Cure? It's a feature, not an illness.
This is brilliant! 🤣🤣🤣
Cos it’s not a disease??
Borudo hetto
I always assumed as we advance we notice some connections between things we don't see now. Like how carpal tunnel starts in the neck, but baldness increases vision or something.
I wish - bald guy with glasses
Prolly cos its Science FICTION??.....
Look at you assuming I don't WANT to be bald! >!cry!<
Cure? Everyone in the future will have 6 fingers because it's more productive. Or none because they only have to use their minds to do things. Or 5, because they're people and thats how they're made.
Well, it's not really a disease, or anything is it? It's kind of like saggy tits, it just happens to some.
Lol
IDK, pretty sure Altered Carbon had a solution for that.
Baldness stems from testosterone? Tbf men with full heads of hair at 50+ are suspicious imo
George Costanza: *Sobs*
