A quick video on all the ages we see Jean-Luc Picard. Stay in the loop if ya want: Facebook: / junkballmedia Twitter: / junkballmedia Patreon: / junkballmedia
As Mr.Plinkett has pointed out: The reason why Picard is bald in his academy days is because the filmmakers of Star Trek Nemesis thinks the audience is stupid.
Correction; Stuart Baird the destroyer of Nemesis thought the audience was stupid, the writers, cast and crew didn't like him one bit because he made nonsensical changes to the established canon...
People always say "Patrick Stewart never ages!" when the real secret is he was actually youngish and looked 70 from the time he was in his 40s. And stayed that way until he was 70.
It's because filmmakers think the audience is dumb. Otherwise we would have thought "who is this not bald man on the picture on Picards desk? Clearly not Picard, because Picard is bald, was bald and will always be bald!" Star Trek is lost, fans must get over it.
Academy prank played on him perhaps? What I don't understand is why he's wearing an NCO uniform (black collar) instead of the cadet version which has a red collar? More Academy pranking?
wasn't there some mumbo jumbo about Picard/Shinzon having a blood disease and that is why he lost his hair? total retcon so Shinzon could also be bald. ...just imagine Nemesis being done today, they would have just used CGI de-aging on Patrick Stewart and he would have played both roles.
@@ZeroB4NG I've never heard that before. As for CGI-de-aging him? I personally didn't think much of the 10/15 years they took off Stewart for X-Men III so back then in 2001/02 to take off 50-years from Picard/Shinzon for Nemesis would probably have looked even worse.
ZeroB4NG I don’t think so, Shinzon had at least two reasons to shave his head that make perfect sense. He’s a military leader among apparently hairless Remans, so a no nonsense solution like shaving it all off makes sense. And/or his apparent obsession with Picard, he seems to know and even admire the man through intense study and he has some desire to connect with the man. Shaving his head as a subtle nod to that makes sense too.
In Tapestry, Q says Picard is "twenty one" and it takes place in 2327 ("Here's to the Class of 27!"). Which would necessitate his birthday being in the later half of the year if we accept 2305 as his birth year.
Ah it all makes sense now if the show is set in 2397 (or there abouts) then that means the show is the 90's and that explains the person dressed like a Matrix extra now. I would suggest Picard shaved his head as he was on the triathlon team. We already know he won a Marathon as a Freshman so adding swimming and cycling too may explain the bald head - though one would hope he wears a hat when running so he doesn't get sunstroke - maybe that is why his hair fell out - he burned his scalp to often.
"what can you say? it was the seventies" and I"m thinking "huh?" .... "2370's" ..... heheheheheheh you really got me on that one. Mr Junkball has some cleverness.
More pictures were leaked today. I wonder if they will have James McAvoy to do any flash backs? He has offered to play it. If he did, he would have played a younger version Stewart in X-Men and Star Trek.
I can’t help but think I’m looking at Professor X, in that first leaked image from the upcoming Picard series... Even though I always recognized him as Picard before that, having grown up with TNG.
They keep saying the show is like Logan - thanks Secret Hideout that is exactly the opposite of what I wanted to hear - I suspect they plan to kill him off at the turn of the 25th Century now in the show's 3rd year.
90 Lancaster I hadn’t heard their describing it as being like Logan... And, while I dug the hell out of that movie, to me, Picard and Star Trek are wholly different things from the X-Men, and that grittier take on it. It really seems like that’s all they want to do lately: Turn Trek into something it isn’t, for the sake of being ‘cool’.
No way will they kill off Picard - he's worth too much money. They would only kill him if Stewart decides he definitely doesn't want to play the part again.
@@ThreadBomb I believe there are some statements that have been made that suggest that the very reason Stewart said yes because he WOULD get a death scene at the end of the 3rd year - He is gushing all the time about exterminating Professor X (which wasn't the smartest Move telling someone the time that a character is going to die reduced tension for anytime that character is used in their younger self - I guess with Fox-Marvel being almost dead now it no longer matter - but still). Picard is a tool to fuel all access subscriptions - if they can do that with controversy they will.
So... in the new Picard series, he's been demoted to CO of a tugboat after an unfortunate mid space incident. It is kind of like the Kominsky method in space. (You can laugh, but Steward would ace this premiss.)
There’s the tradition in some countrues, of shaving one’s hair or eyebrow when accepted into college/higher education institution, maybe the bald picard photo was when he got accepted, and shaved his hair, which is supported by the fact that he isnt wearing any academy rank pips... this is my in-univerese explanation theory, I know it sounds like a bit of a stretch
If this came out on April 1, you'd probably change the channel's name to "Junkbald" for April Fools Day, as a joke about Picard's hair (or, lack thereof)...
Quick Question: What's the average human lifespan in the late 2300's? It's a long shot but I think it'd be cool if they kept up the odd tradition of Picard being about 10 years older than Stewart, which would put him around 90. Given how long people seem to live in Star Trek, it could work.
I think it's about 150. The TNG series bible (made even before casting, and with some interesting details that were later changed - like it said Data should look like he was from the Indian subcontinent, and built by aliens wanting to understand humanity instead of built by a human) said what the average human life span is in the setting, I think. It also specified that most of the characters should be played by actors 10-20 years younger than them, just because of their medical technology making ageing not hit you so hard. It had said Picard would be in his 60s and be played by someone in his 40s, so I guess Stewart just squeaked by within that range. Of course that thinking didn't apply to the casting of Wesley, and I think not to Geordi either. Like, Federation humans in their twenties would still read to us as twenties, not like they were just beginning puberty. But they're meant to look mostly the same through their thirties, and look as if in their thirties when in their forties and so forth, all the way up to being 150 looking roughly like our 90-100 year olds of today. So it scales somewhat rather than being a flat 10 year advantage on life. But of course there's the wrinkle of real actors in real time that impacts production just as it did with Vulcans. Spock looked a lot older than T'Pol at similar ages, Sarek aged a lot in a couple of decades then looked more or less the same 100 years later, and so forth. Makes me wonder if Janeway was also meant to be in her 60s since Mulgrew was in her 40s, or if the production staff had mostly dropped that outlook on things. I've got a similar pre-casting bible for Voyager and it doesn't really talk about that stuff like TNG did, but I don't remember if it did specify an age for her or not. Since this was her first command, it would make more sense for her to be in her 20s or 30s like Picard was with his first command, but that's obviously not the case. So I suppose she either deferred like Riker did, or perhaps spent a longer time on the science department promotion tracks (since Eddington seemed to think anyone in security would never be in the line for a captaincy, it might apply for the blue-shirts too) before switching to command training after a fairly long career, while Picard was ambitious and focused right on there from the beginning.
Kit Vitae Spock was only half Vulcan after all. We know Mcoy lived into his 130s though his makeup made him look every bit that age, you could argue that he had little interest in any life span or youth enhancing processes and leave it at that. A healthy well fed human ages at a fairly predictable rate and it would take some sort of technological intervention to make people approaching 100 look anything less than their age. I’m not sure how thorough the ban on eugenics and genetic manipulation is in the Federation, but I assume the people we see are essentially unaltered in that sense and thus not noticeably different from us. So the advantage likely is in technological medicine applied in the course of a human life to mitigate the effects of essentially the same aging process we go through. I would say that with direct and effective treatment of the effects of aging and a generally healthy lifestyle for fed citizens 130-150 is doable as we see some people reaching that today, and I can see people seeming to be younger due to this intervention.
@@DrewLSsix As I recall, the bible said something about their understanding of the body being so deep and thorough, their scans so good and medical technique so preventative, and their environment and lifestyle being to such a high standard, that their bodies go through a lot less wear and tear. There's definitely an aspect of Gene's new-age flavoured handwaving going on there, but one could suppose for instance that their telomeres wear down less quickly (and hence why children still appear the age we know them today, since wear on telomeres doesn't begin until after puberty), their organs in general don't tire out so fast (think the toxin-filtering process, skin elasticity, etc), and other things like that, leading to the body accumulating age damage less quickly. There are already some telomere treatment proposals that claim their result could be something similar, and they don't involve eugenics (either by breeding or germline genetic engineering), so I think the Federation would be on board with that. Of course the writers' intent was to handwave it as just Medical Advancement, because who knows how wildly treatment might have changed form in almost 400 years to pin down something specific that could get dated. But as fans, it's fun to speculate on what exactly any number of things in the show "really" are :) Put simply, I suppose I agree with you, haha.
Also it just occurred to me that some people I know who have stayed remarkably stress free look "about in their 40s" in their 50s and early 60s, but that's mostly because what looks a certain age to us is including whatever results of living highly stressed or in a polluted area or smoking etc did to a person, and what "looks a certain age" also changes culturally based on generational perspectives. So the casting age discrepancy mentioned in the bible could be more shorthand for how healthy etc the actors should seem, since people "age faster" when their bodies are given a hard time. Maybe?
@@1978rharris Nah, the collar being the same colour as the shoulders is exactly what differentiates the TNG cadet uniform from the DS9/VOY uniforms (sometimes called "type 2" for their coexistence with the TNG style) . Plus the shoulders appear more rounded (as in that cadet uniform) and not so sharp (as in the type 2 variant). And since Picard is retired and living on Earth, it is quite possible he's a guest lecturer at the academy sometimes.
Picard season 1 is the year 2399. PS is 78/79 in real life. He is playing a 93/94 year old Picard. And by god I hope PS is wearing old age makeup & is speaking slower on purpose.
Everyone knows, Picard lost a bet... to Q. So his hair was erased in all of history. That was somewhere between 2369 and 2379, hence the Nemesis photo is affected by the alteration in the timeline.
I had kind of been hoping that they would use the All Good Things/The Visitor/Timeless/Endgame uniforms in the new show (or at least a new design clearly based on them, like the Enterprise uniforms in Discovery). Doesn't look like it from this picture though.
Theory: this is some time after the Borg, Dominion and various alpha quadrant powers going nuts for a while. So the Federation is already reverting to its non war like state. This includes ditching the more militaristic uniforms in favor of something like the last golden age of peaceful exploration. Theory continued: Picard, a man that wasn’t never particularly thrilled with the whole starship as family toting luxury liner thing and who has been through the worst of the late 24th centuries conflicts is finding himself disenchanted with this return to status quo. This is the starting point for his story, an old man out of his own time either trying to accept things as they change or trying to resist the ebb of repeating history.
@@DrewLSsix Yeah, I definitely feel like it's a "revert to the good old times as political messaging" (Federation civilians know at least as much about their military as we do ours, if not more) thing. I feel like that applies to the recurring-future-uniform, as well as the one we got a glimpse of here. Interesting to think about how the movie-era uniform and the FC-era one both: became real jackets, had ribbed padding, were majority one colour with department being only on the neck and wrist, had a top worn underjacket with said department-coded neck... I always enjoyed both kinds a lot more than the others, and I knew they both looked more "serious", but I never thought hard enough to notice all those very highly specific similarities as well.
Kit Vitae It’s like the difference between TOS where the whole space travel in what amounted to T shirts was a novelty and unique concept when everyone else was wearing some sort of futuristic space garb, the several of the TOS films where they seemed to change between jumpsuits and serious military style uniforms often. I like to think this represents the political realities of their respective times, with the pose Klingon war TOS era being similar to what I described for the Picard setting. Except we get to see it through the eyes of a man that’s likely not buying it.
@@DrewLSsix I feel like Picard would take the opposite tact if anything, though? He was more opposed than most to the idea of considering Starfleet a military force first and foremost, and hated to think of himself as a soldier.
The next video should be about 70s fashion in Star Trek universe through centuries. I think there is a trend where in every century in the seventh decade something clicks in fashion designers to make wacky clothing. Remember Bones in disco clothes with the medallion in TMP?
As Mr.Plinkett has pointed out: The reason why Picard is bald in his academy days is because the filmmakers of Star Trek Nemesis thinks the audience is stupid.
and to make Tom Hardy look like a neonazi.
Yeah the TNG Movies are a mess of concessions to a general audience who were not even interested in the Movies in the 1st place.
Correction; Stuart Baird the destroyer of Nemesis thought the audience was stupid, the writers, cast and crew didn't like him one bit because he made nonsensical changes to the established canon...

The best one
Don't jinx it!

You should do a video on the inconsistencies of Data’s various “ports” on his head and body.
yes yes yes
Pretty flashing lights.
What's inconsistent? Data can have multiple ports and he can upgrade/modify himself if he chooses to.
Laurence Quint Just an idea bro!
Is that a new intro? Either way, it's amazing.
People always say "Patrick Stewart never ages!" when the real secret is he was actually youngish and looked 70 from the time he was in his 40s. And stayed that way until he was 70.
THAT INTRO THO. I'm like 70% more hype about Picard now that we've seen an image, but still more excited for animated trek
Man, I remember, as a child, seeing Patrick Stewart in the movie "Dune". Seeing him now makes ME feel old as hell! LOL
I've never understood why he was bald in that picture where he's played by Tom Hardy.
It's because filmmakers think the audience is dumb. Otherwise we would have thought "who is this not bald man on the picture on Picards desk? Clearly not Picard, because Picard is bald, was bald and will always be bald!" Star Trek is lost, fans must get over it.

Love your channel so much.
It's so indepth and goes through all the behind the scenes stuff.
Love it!
Love all your videos! Thanks for making them!
This is BY FAR the best Trek show on RUclips.
It really should have been "Star Trek: Mister Pikkard!"
Such a great video. The attention to detail and humor is wonderful :)
Always a joy to watch your junk.
Production value on these is too damn high!!!!!
loving that new intro

Fantastic video.
A very cool video. Thank you. I hadn't realized how old Picard was supposed to be in TNG. If only I was aging as well!
I wouldn't mind seeing a series centered around the Stargazer.
late 24th century-hipsters started wearing old Starfleet uniforms. You're going to hear Picard talk to a camera about that - A Lot!
Presumably you can buy surplus Starfleet uniforms at the army disposal store.
nice video! Thanks again, I had no idea the actor who played Rene also played Picard in Rascals!
Wow, never knew he was born in 2305. He's old AF. Works out quite nicely for the new series, though. 'Memba how old McCoy was ?
137 years, boi
In Tapestry, Q says Picard is "twenty one" and it takes place in 2327 ("Here's to the Class of 27!"). Which would necessitate his birthday being in the later half of the year if we accept 2305 as his birth year.

Always a winner!
His ages! Classic!
The 70s....
Ah it all makes sense now if the show is set in 2397 (or there abouts) then that means the show is the 90's and that explains the person dressed like a Matrix extra now.

We already know he won a Marathon as a Freshman so adding swimming and cycling too may explain the bald head - though one would hope he wears a hat when running so he doesn't get sunstroke - maybe that is why his hair fell out - he burned his scalp to often.
"what can you say? it was the seventies" and I"m thinking "huh?" .... "2370's" ..... heheheheheheh you really got me on that one. Mr Junkball has some cleverness.
Can you do a video on Denube class runabouts plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz???
Actually, it was the 60's, 2360's, not the 70's. Only Season 7 of TNG takes place in 2370. The movies all take place in the 2370's, though.
More pictures were leaked today. I wonder if they will have James McAvoy to do any flash backs? He has offered to play it. If he did, he would have played a younger version Stewart in X-Men and Star Trek.

So guess Picard was born just 12 years after Star Trek 6 took place!
I never thought about it in that way...🤔
Amazing!
TNG: Seasen 5 Episode 2: What is that about the jacket from picard?
Hopefully Picard has a child by now and the guy who played young Picard in rascals and Rene his nephew should play his son.
As others have noted, the uniforms seen in the Picard image actually more closely resemble the TNG cadet uniforms.
People who have seen them in person are saying they have a unusual rank marking system.
So... in the new Picard series, he's been demoted to CO of a tugboat after an unfortunate mid space incident. It is kind of like the Kominsky method in space. (You can laugh, but Steward would ace this premiss.)

Interesting to think about how the movie-era uniform and the FC-era one both: became real jackets, had ribbed padding, were majority one colour with department being only on the neck and wrist, had a top worn underjacket with said department-coded neck... I always enjoyed both kinds a lot more than the others, and I knew they both looked more "serious", but I never thought hard enough to notice all those very highly specific similarities as well.
Kit Vitae It’s like the difference between TOS where the whole space travel in what amounted to T shirts was a novelty and unique concept when everyone else was wearing some sort of futuristic space garb, the several of the TOS films where they seemed to change between jumpsuits and serious military style uniforms often.
I like to think this represents the political realities of their respective times, with the pose Klingon war TOS era being similar to what I described for the Picard setting. Except we get to see it through the eyes of a man that’s likely not buying it.
@@DrewLSsix I feel like Picard would take the opposite tact if anything, though? He was more opposed than most to the idea of considering Starfleet a military force first and foremost, and hated to think of himself as a soldier.
intro music? Edit: found it ruclips.net/video/NdRN2FR5jy4/видео.html
When synthetic actors become realistic enough, this won’t be an issue. We will all be watching cartoons.
The next video should be about 70s fashion in Star Trek universe through centuries. I think there is a trend where in every century in the seventh decade something clicks in fashion designers to make wacky clothing. Remember Bones in disco clothes with the medallion in TMP?
Don't forget Bones' bitchin disco beard!
there's a really good blog on the fashion of tng--google 'Fashion It So' if you're interested.
Kirky5551 thank you, the description of clothing are gold!
"Jean-Luc, you could have shaved..."
Advice by many a female Starfleet cadet; taken too literally.
Perhaps he shaved his head when he first entered Starfleet Academy, then let it grow back during his time there? Maybe Jean-Luc lost a bet...
you are so fucking funny 😂
It was the 70s. The 2370s. B )
I can hear your kids in the background around 3:12 and 3:34 hehehehhe

MAD HATTER? LOL WUT
Please do nerdy review of the best episodes.
I like the new updated Starfleet uniforms in Star Trek: Picard. The bald Picard was a huge continuity error in Nemesis.
