perhaps a poster here has Violations n a recorded format as a tape or file. Perhaps said poster could cue up that scene and take vidcaps of Picard having hair.
Perhaps.. is S5 out yet?

About that forehead doohickey... Wasn't there an odd forehead fixture of some sort on the other telepathic impersonations the Ullian mind-rapist did, too?
And yes, these close-ups raise the question of whether Picard had hair in 2354, or wore a bad rug. The latter would jibe better with Nemesis...
Nope, it doesn't matter. He had hair in "Tapestry" as well.

Maybe in that shot in Nemesis he'd shaved his head for the Starfleet swim team & was now reflecting upon the irony of it all.

I know that he only laughs in the scene where he's stabbed, looking at the sharp-pointy thing sticking out of his chest. However, isn't there a scene earlier on w/him speaking several lines of dialogue? Like at the very beginning of the episode...?
Guess I need to watch "Tapestry" this evening. I kinda hate to do that, tho, 'cause I've been watching the episodes in order....

Yah... I was pretty sure all he did was laugh. Cause the only time we even see him is when Q shows John Luck the fight while he's still in "heaven".

i think this is a likely explanation.. for the "Nemesis" picture, Picard shaved his head upon entering the Academy for the reasons that young men frequently shave their heads when joining military academies (or if you like the 'less-military' approach you can assume a swim-team or bunsen-burner-accident excuse).. then, by "Tapestry" he had regrown his mop, but would tragically lose all his hair some 30+ years later (he still had a combover by the time of "Violations"
The young Picard, played by Marcus Nash, did not speak in "Tapestry"

plus, i'm sure its obvious they cut a few corners on Nemesis, they dint want to buy a wig after already having paid Tom to shave his head.
plus, they probably didnt want to confuse casual fans by showing Picard with hair, theyd be like 'who's that guy with hair?'..
plus, i say plus too much.

I heard the story, that he had shaved his head for another movie and didn't want to regrow it for Nemesis.
