Were Riker and Troi having casual sex during the series?

[2of1million]

They were having sex with other people more than with each other. I just watched the episode "The Price" and Troi was with that dude *shudder*. The next episode Riker was with some alien chick. I'm watching the whole series on dvd again!

Why *shudder*? Being a heterosexual male, I would say that guy was very handsome.

There was, alas, an episode that would have dealt with Riker and Troi exploring the renewal of their relationship on the Enterprise, but it was never filmed. I did, however, get ahold of a portion of the script....

Riker: I mean, let's say we did.


Troi: What if?


Riker: Is that like the end of the world or something?


Troi: Certainly not!


Riker: Why shouldn't we be able to do that once in a while if we want to?


Troi: I know!


Riker: I mean, really, what is the big deal? We go in there. We're in there for a while. We come right back out here. It's not complicated.


Troi: It's almost stupid if we didn't!


Riker: It's moronic!


Troi: Absurd!


Riker: Of course, I guess, maybe, some little problems could arise.


Troi: Well, there are always a few.


Riker: I mean, if anything happened, and we couldn't be friends the way we are now, that would be really bad.


Troi: Devastating.


Riker: Because this is very good.


Troi: And that would be good.


Riker: That would be good too. The idea is to combine the this and the that. But this cannot be disturbed.


Troi: Yeah, we just wanna take this and add that.


Riker: But of course, we'd have to figure out a way to avoid the things that cause the little problems. Maybe some rules or something.


Troi: Huh.


Riker: For example, now, I call you whenever I'm inclined and vice versa.


Troi: Right.


Riker: But if we did that, we might feel a certain obligation to call.


Troi: Well why should that be? Oh, I have an idea, I have an idea--No calls the day after that.


Riker: Beautiful. Let's make it a rule.


Troi: All right, sir.


Riker: Now here's another little rule: When we see each other now, we retire to our separate quarters. But sometimes, when people get involved with that, they feel pressure to sleep over. When that is not really sleep. Sleep is separate from that. And I don't see why sleep got all tied up and connected with that.


Troi: Okay, okay. Rule # 2: Spending the night is optional!


Riker: Well now we're gettin' somewhere!

somebody misses Seinfeld baaaaaaaaad.

I miss it too!

In all seriousness, I perfectly understand the *shudder*--something about that actor's performance in that role seriously grated on me from the first time I saw the episode (well before he was cast as Lloyd Braun). Maybe he was just doing his job really well, but he oozed a smug sliminess that made me want to see Riker put his fist in the guy's mouth. But even when he wasn't necessarily supposed to be acting all that slimy, his delivery annoyed me.

Yep, that's exactly why I shuddered...

I think Riker did a good job not to put his fist in the guy's mouth. When he tells Rhal that he wants Deanna to be happy he must be telling the truth or Rhal would know, and given the way they are going head to head, Rhal would have commented on that.

I think Riker got a lot of non-Troi tail on the ENT-D so he didn't really need to tap Deanna.

Crudely put, but I agree.

 

[Nebusj]

Oh, come on. For all the blather about Riker as a Ladies' Man you'd think he had ever gotten any action from a species that actually had a gender. Wesley Crusher had more casual sex and Wesley was 22 before he learned that LaForge lied and re-aligning the dilithium grid was not ``casual sex''.

 

[Wolf_359]

They were until Worf go involved with his two Klingon Penises!

I know this thread is quite old, but there post are very interesting. I always took it as "implied canon" that Will and Deanna were still getting it on from time to time, including in unaccounted for/off-camera time jumps.

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

10 years! That might be a new record.

But on topic, I got the impression, from time to time, that Deanna & Willie were still....interacting at times.

 

[SPCTRE]

Willie

We all know that's how he calls it.

 

[JoeCabby]

For sure they did. In the future with no STDs and monthly birth control injections. Why not.

 

[Herbert]

As long as neither one of them was having sex with a Ferengi, I’m good with this.

Y U no likea to givea the good lobe?

Damn Kilingon anatomical redundencies

They were just friends....and on some rare occasions, with some benefits.

 

[Sakonna]

I usually read "Violations" as telling us they had sex at least once while on the Enterprise -- that Troi is starting with the memory of an actual consensual encounter, that the mind rapist is then warping into an assault.

Though the episode is definitely open to interpretation on this point.

^^Minuette said she was that real...hell, if they're real enough to shoot you, they're real enough to...you know.

As for Riker and Pulaski clones getting it on...judging by the actress's appearances on TOS, I don't think a younger Pulaski is somebody that Riker would kick out of bed.

The need to "clean" the holodeck...I imagine it's accounted for. Remember, in "The Big Goodbye", they couldn't just shut off the holodeck because there was a danger of dematerializing the people inside. Apparently the malfunctioning holodeck couldn't distinguish between the people and their by-products...though you gotta wonder how Wesley knew about that....

I don't think Riker would have kicked Pulaski out of bed at any age!

 

[The Old Mixer]

God damn! I don't even remember writing this shit!

ETA: Actually, I vaguely recall post #25.
