tv is bad for you

Picard was sitting, watching television.

To be precise, he was watching episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation. He remembered the Farpoint mission, remembered Q and his 'trial for humanity'. He only grew more sullen when he switched it ahead many episodes to First Contact with the Borg. He watched as a model of the Enterprise was bombarded with weapons fire, glaring when an actor dressed as him came on screen, pleading with Q to help him.

"It's entertainment to them," he said, his voice flat. "It's just entertainment to them."

"It gets worse, doesn't it?" replied Picard, facepalming with much gusto.

Kate ruefully commented as she glanced toward the screen, gesturing a hand to it, "That depends, do you really want to know about some of the media coverage of the show? Or you and the actor?"

"You know, I believe I actually do," Picard said with a laugh. "At the very least, it might explain some of the looks I get."

Kate laughed, and then went to find some articles.

"Don't say you weren't warned then," she commented before finding several articles. Including TV Guide's Sexiest Man on Television, and People saying how sexy bald is with a quote from Patrick Stewart.

"Does that really say 'sexiest man on television'? Isn't that more than a little presumptuous?" Picard asked, totally amused by it all.
