  I will never understand why the beard went for that movie. People give it shit constantly but the worst part is the lack of beard, not the Shinzon stuff

    Bro, Shinzon was Nemesis. Riker lost the beard in Insurrection.

    And you complain, but that super hot Trill Ops officer seemed to like it.

      My head cannon is that he couldn’t be bothered, so he sent Thomas instead.

        Riker, over comms: “'Sup, stupid.”

        Thomas: “I’m closing the channel.”

        Riker: “How would like to make some extra scratch and keep my Imzadi company for a few weeks?”

        Thomas: “…I’m listening.”

        Meredith Murphy is the actress who portrayed a Trill science officer in Star Trek: Insurrection. She received no credit for this part

        Wow, why?

        I think that must have been a different Trill officer? According to a link in the footer of the same page it was this actress on the bridge: memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Stephanie_Niznik

      Huh. Been a while since I seen Nemesis. I must be conflating the two movies.

      Also just means the trill had bad taste, that’s all

        I do prefer the beard, but later Riker without a beard works well. I think it's because the character and actor have grown into the part at that point and don't present themselves the same as the early season Riker. I was going to call him "gangly" but I don't think that's right, but first season Riker was less sure of things.

        Let's not forget the other badass old Riker with the peppered gray beard who said "I'll get the Klingon's attention".

      I outright refuse the complaint about the ARGO. I have never understood people’s problems with it.

      Also when it comes to the Remans, presumably. I’ll do some research and get back to you on that.

        Complaint: What was the point of the entire sequence?

      By the way, were the Remans all left to die when Romulus and Remus were destroyed? Because they never got mentioned again.

      Star Trek Online has a whole storyline about that. It isn’t canon, but it ought to be.

    His beard refused to be a part of the movie.

  • m_r_butts@kbin.social ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    He was motivated by that planet (from Insurrection, not Nemesis) making everyone feel younger. It made sense to me.

    source

    • aaaa@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      You’re not wrong, but I think his biggest motivation is when he kissed Deanna and her reaction to the beard was “yuck!”

        Fair. But she clearly got over it, unless Thaddeus and Kestra were grown in test tubes.

    Anything without the beard is bad.

  I refuse to acknowledge shaven Riker. Bearded Riker is the only truth

  No beard: Unsteady child

  With beard: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

  With beard: Stalwart ship’s Captain

  Without beard: Al Gore (before beard)
