Comment on It's all in the trim

  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?

        That was a background character, not the one you're thinking about (see other reply). There's a bunch of side characters in that and other movies that don't get credited. One well known one is Tom Morello of RATM.

        IDK. IMDB listed her also with (uncredited).

      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

        Correct. Stephanie is the one everyone always refers to for that look she gives Riker in that scene. RIP.

        My bad. You’re right. Good eye!

    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 think the word you’re looking for is “lanky”.

        He was, kind of. But those first episodes with the thinner beard (he was wearing fake facial hair to make it fuller) made him look even more like a pencil.

  but the worst part is the lack of beard, not the Shinzon stuff

  I mean…

    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?

      source

      • ummthatguy@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Patrick Stewart said “make it so”

        source
  • grue@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    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 ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

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

  • aaaa@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

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

    source

    • m_r_butts@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

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

• Anticorp@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Anything without the beard is bad.
