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

[-] aeronmelon@lemm.ee 18 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] aeronmelon@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

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?

[-] Rhaedas@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] usernamefactory@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 months ago

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: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Stephanie_Niznik

[-] Rhaedas@kbin.social 8 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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

And for what it's worth, although the inference seems to always be sexual, I don't think it needs to be. It can be just as much admiration and "holy shit, captain". Which is totally justified.

I also like the look Riker gives when Geordi tells him he already ejected the core before being ordered.

[-] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

My bad. You're right. Good eye!

[-] Stamets@startrek.website 2 points 11 months ago

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

[-] Rhaedas@kbin.social 5 points 11 months ago

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".

[-] aeronmelon@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

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.

I mean...

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

[-] Stamets@startrek.website 8 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

Complaint: What was the point of the entire sequence?

[-] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Patrick Stewart said "make it so"

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

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

His beard refused to be a part of the movie.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Anything without the beard is bad.

[-] Vespair@lemm.ee 27 points 11 months ago

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

[-] kaitco@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

No beard: Unsteady child

With beard: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[-] aeronmelon@lemm.ee 8 points 11 months ago

With beard: Stalwart ship's Captain

Without beard: Al Gore (before beard)

[-] verity_kindle@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

That is a great chin! If you have a great chin, let it be free!

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 51 points 11 months ago

Not a leader with hair? I'll have you know he was de facto emperor of Rome!

[-] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 28 points 11 months ago

This must be that Biggus Dickus chap I've heard so much about

Well that was a wig. So technically...

[-] neuracnu@lemmy.blahaj.zone 24 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Worf, Troi and Dr Crusher were all growing it out. Gotta go thru the weird bob phase first.

Tossing around terms like "pansy" and "milf," implying somehow that someone shouldn't be taken seriously as a woman because of their haircut. Nah, this sucks.

[-] contortions@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

Eh, lazy/outmoded normativity can be a source of humor, be it self-aware or in earnest.

[-] USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website 1 points 11 months ago

Sounds like a post hoc justification.

[-] contortions@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

That's all I had on me, I left my ergo hoc in the helipropter

[-] Blackout@kbin.social 15 points 11 months ago

The 80s were a hell of a drug.

[-] cmbabul@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

What the 80s did to some motherfuckers

Gorde with hair looks like EAZY-E in space.
