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,

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

Sounds like a post hoc justification.

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

Who looks like EAZY-E?

BobbyNevada,

Sorry, “Geordi”

Anticorp,

He’s Rick James, bitch!

BobbyNevada,

Fuck yo couch warp core!

The 80s were a hell of a drug.

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

What about beards?
Riker Beards

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

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

Stamets,
@Stamets@startrek.website avatar

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.

Patrick Stewart said “make it so”

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

aeronmelon,

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

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

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".

aeronmelon,

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.

echodot,

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

aeronmelon,

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.”

FYI: memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Meredith_Murphy

Edit: Wrong actress, please see replies.

SatyrSack,

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

Wow, why?

hakunawazo,

IDK. IMDB listed her also with (uncredited).
m.imdb.com/title/tt0120844/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_c…

Rhaedas,
@Rhaedas@kbin.social avatar

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,

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

Rhaedas,
@Rhaedas@kbin.social avatar

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,

My bad. You’re right. Good eye!

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

    samus12345,
    @samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

    His beard refused to be a part of the movie.

    Anticorp,

    Anything without the beard is bad.

    aeronmelon,

    With beard: Stalwart ship’s Captain

    Without beard: Al Gore (before beard)

    Vespair,

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

    kaitco,

    No beard: Unsteady child

    With beard: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
