How about a Riker and Troi raising their daughter tv show?

I know many if they wanted to see this kind of show they would want it set on the Titan but why not simply go for something else and focus on their post Starfleet life as they start to live a normal everyday life away from adventure and all that while simply raising their daughter. Maybe the daughter is a Starfleet cadet so you do get a taste of that stuff as well.

Also I am not saying they just putter around the home either. Troi see's patients as she is still a counselor but just a civilian one. Maybe Riker teaches at the Academy and maybe the daughter is in his class. Sometimes Geordi or Barclay or Beverly or Chief O'Brien stop by for a visit.

Me I always felt Riker and Troi was one of the better romance couples in Trek. My top 5 would be.

1 Riker/Troi
2 O'Brien/Keiko
3 Paris/Torres
4Stamets/Culber
5 Rom/Leeta

Sisko and Cassidy and Worf/Jadzia just miss the list.

Eh, Frakes and Sirtis do work well together on screen, but the romance side of the Riker and Troi relationship was never the strongest, IMO.
 
What daughter? Don't they have a son? I'm pretty sure it was a boy in the trailer.

I'd actually like a show like that but only if they give Troi some of Marina Sirtis personality, Troi with Sirtis sense of humor would be awesome.

Well we learned from "First Contact" if we want to see Troi with a sense of humor having her liquored up more would be a good way to go. Plus as Betazoid women get older I think they might loose some of their conservative traits like her mom. They become more free spirits the older they get. Which leads to them being super horny or whatever it was Lwaxani was going through in season 2 when she came aboard the Enterprise looking for a husband.

Just no. Beyond the idea itself being awful, I'd like to see some Star Trek that isn't driven purely by nostalgia.

At this point, the CBS Trek tagline should be: "You remember "X"? So do we!"

As you and both well know, nostalgia sells.
 
Not a big fan of that idea tbh, sounds very boring and sitcom'esque.

It's a daughter in the trailer. Unless he has a REALLY high pitched voice. lol There is also a rumor that Lulu Wilson is playing a character called Kestra. So if true, there we go.
 
Huh ... weird, I could have sworn it was a boy but I didn't pay that much attention to the kid.

Yeah but as the immune system weakens as part of the aging process, spaceherp would become more opportunistic. Just like real life herpes and unlike the common cold by the 24th century, I'd wager there's no cure for space herpes. Or there is and Riker kept getting the latest treatment at the end of every episode where he was getting busy. Maybe the 24th century cured the "superbug" strains too... now there's some allegory that Trek won't ever bother with to any worthwhile extent.

It's not 1968 anymore when free love didn't have that sort of ramification... oh, wait...
