And, while Picard makes an excellent role model (there is Captain Picard Day, after all), he's not exactly comfortable with kids.
Isn't Picard going to be a Daddy in one of the upcoming novels? (I could be wrong).
I believe he finally got with Beverly Crusher.
Gee...its about time. I use to wonder about his sexual preference. Nothing wrong with him being gay, or bi, or whatever. But all those years with Bev practically humping his leg, and he never gave her what she wanted so badly?? SOME LOVIN!!!! some SEXUAL HEALING???
