  • 1 Riker - Virgin. You trust him to do his best to make a good impression. May not know what he's doing but by golly he'll try.

  • 2 Rikers - Missionary. Classic, reliable, and gets the job done perfectly.

  • 3 Rikers - He has fucked his way into this situation and he will fuck himself out of it.

  • 4 Rikers - He has tried to fuck himself out of the situation. The situation was Pon Farr night at the Trek Convention.

7 Rikers is effectively just a jazzy, horny, sentient beard.

So 'God Ransom' but with a beard and more rizz?

You need to flip that last 'r' upside down...

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago

No that's what I'm giving him

We’ve all been on the wrong side of a pon farr once or twice

Riker seems to fuck (up) an awful lot

Oh, that would have been a perfect title for this!

It’s not too late to edit! Q bless Lemmy

In the heat of the moment, it's forgivable to go full Riker.

Can’t forget the Thomas Riker!

What episode is this from? I just binged the whole series last weekend and don't remember this

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Easily my favorite episode. The visual and written humor lays out both how insane the Borg challenge is while simultaneously illustrating Boimler's Kirk-level talent for defeating impossible odds. Scoring 100% seems to require no less than:

  • Transport onto a Borg cube armed with nothing but a phaser
  • Teach the Borg queen empathy
  • Defeat the Borg queen at chess
  • Capture five Borg prisoners
  • Rescue ten Borg babies
  • Set the cube for self destruct
  • Establish subspace comms to schedule rendezvous with Starfleet
  • Steal an escape pod and escape the doomed cube

One viewing isn't enough to absorb all the greatness.

Why did he take the risk with fake sideburns when he could have just ... grown sideburns?

Sideburns are a William thing. And thus anathema to all Thomases. Thomasii. Thomasse? Whatever.

0.75 Rikers

Just imagine, with all those parallel universes, there was almost definitely a Riker with an even bigger beard.

What have you done

[–] EnsignRedshirt@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

This is terrific, but why isn't panel 3 a picture of Thomas Riker? Literally the second Riker, who also has a fuller beard (Thomas doesn't shape his beard the way Will does).
