He does have some good moments though, so ease up. It took waaay too long to take this character from annoying airlock fodder to intelligent, but flawed officer-in-training… and in a sense, they didn’t fully succeed on that journey.

Not just an emotionless Vulcan stand-in, considering the number of episodes the Enterprise is saved by having this android aboard makes him kind of a “machina ex deus ex machina.” I wish they had made her de facto role of cultural/alien contact specialist and diplomat more formal from the get-go, but I guess the priority was form-fitting clothing and inconsistent sensing of emotions. One of those characters that grew on me in the rewatch. Over 30 years later, and I’m still wondering about the wisdom of naming a doctor “Crusher,” but, I mean, she’s capable, compassionate, and… we’re never going to resolve that thing between her and Picard, are we? Much like Spock was the quintessential Vulcan who turns out to be a very atypical Vulcan, so too is Worf the Klingon’s Klingon who… was not raised by Klingons, has a greater sense of honor than just about any other Klingon we meet, and generally only kicks ass off screen. I’m so glad they switched you to Engineering. In the meantime, keep speaking technobabble like a boss. Sorry, Geordi, you’ll have to wait for Ensign Kim in Voyager to be more hapless in that department. Unless it’s about romantic relationships. And “it” could be starship operations or some sort of consensual intimacy. Still, it works.īearded or clean-shaven, Riker’s ready to step over a chair, sit down, and let you know how it’s done. He just doesn’t have any ounce of cowboy (although Patrick Stewart does).
Like Kirk, he has his own particular tortured backstory. Picard” forget that Picard has Kirk’s zeal for truth, justice, and the Federation way.
Note: Everything below may contain spoilers and definitely contains some snark. (Not convinced by the Screen Junkies that you need to watch the one with the space ghost? Want to skip most of the slog of the first two seasons with a binge watch? Check out the new viewing guide!)
