    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

          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.”

        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.

      I mean…

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

        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.

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

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

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