I get it, it’s the 32nd century and the glasses are maybe heads up displays that only he can see and use. But don’t you think in three thousand years they would have figured out how to build that stuff INTO or ONTO the eye? Instead of making the person, or the person choosing to wear an ancient form of corrective lenses.

    The character himself explained in one episode, why he still wears glasses (something about psychological effect or so, I think).

      In that case, I’ll put on my 17th century dress wear for my next evening event … no one will be able to beat my witty arguments while wearing my formal dress, neck ring, leggings and pompom high heel shoes

        Well, if you recall it was Win… Winston Chur… Winston Churchi- I’m sorry, but are you really just gonna stand around like that while we debate? And why the fuck is there an artist doing an oil painting of you right now? Whatever, I can’t debate with someone like this!

      When you wear glasses, people don’t look at your eyes. They look at your glasses. It’s especially useful for deception.

        The more I think about the reasons why his character has glasses … and the more I look at him and remember his character … the more I thought that he was probably an android of some sort and the glasses might have been just a distraction or deception so that people wouldn’t think he wasn’t human.
