... maybe picard is hot

That realization does eventually occur. Hell, feast your eyes upon these covers of TV Guide that imply or straight up declare Sir Patrick Stewart as being hot (I am sorry for any undue effects this might cause):

What he's wearing might be doing some of the lifting.

I love that these issues are 6 months apart and he's wearing the same outfit. Like, TV Guide, you were a big deal way back when, you couldn't get a second photo shoot booked?

I also would like to point out it's a Han Solo outfit. I don't know what this implies but I feel like Tumblr can help me out with this one
