When was Riker an admiral?
All Good Things. Maybe the novelverse too? Either way -- he wasn't insofar as canon is concerned.
Sorry, you confused me when you said he was 'no longer' an admiral, as if he was one between Nemesis and PIC.

Just rewatched the episode and I'm going to stay with the 9. This was very good Star Trek, after last week where I didn't feel like it was very good Star Trek at all. I loved the mystisim of the Narak/Soji path scene delving into Soji's dream, and the stuff with Hugh and Picard really was excellent. I was trying to find the easter eggs, like the shot of the Enterprise E and I couldn't find that one. I did notice the Flotter lunch box though.
When the episode aired, there was a lot of talk about Rios and Raffi together but because this thread moves so fast and that was a few days ago, I don't remember what it was. I was looking at those scenes and they were not sexual in nature. Heck, Raffi and Rios know each other, probably closer than Raffi and Picard, or at least that's what episode 3 intimated. I like that it was Rios that tried to comfort her when she clearly is struggling (I was surprised everyone else didn't even care about that aspect, just that she was successful).
If last week let me down, this episode was a great rebound. I'm enjoying the series, but I really was worried that it was taking a turn for the worse. I'm not sure what to expect for the final 4 episodes, but this was a nice turnaround from episode 5 to episode 6.

I didn't say it. I was just answering what I figured the poster was talking about.
How does the preview for next week’s episode have to do with All Good Things?
Maybe you're thinking of talk about Rios and Jurati?
Could very well be. History does repeat itself, thanks to that not-understanding-history thing. Hopefully we'll survive long enough for another liberal generation to appear.
That works for me. I was even thinking that the series could end in his death, and he would become a martyr for a more noble Federation.
Last time on Star Trek: Picard...
Number One is un chien andalou
To quote Kivas Fajo: "Dali."
He should have been. There is no reason to believe that he'd do worse than in the alternate timeline.
Except that the guy took what, 50 years to make captain?
Maybe he was made a Captain soon after he got his ship on Nemesis, that's how Sulu got it.
I think we all assume that he did make captain at that point. The point is that if he was only in Starfleet for maybe another decade after that, we can't assume that he ever made admiral. If he spent as long as a captain as he did as a commander, then there's really no room for him having been an admiral.
AGT was premised on a future where he might have gotten off his ass and made captain soon after the series ended, rather than continuing to wallow in his first officer role for nearly another decade in the films.

Or logic
Ironically, Picard is the first series that allowed the characters to move on with their lives.
Honestly, if you survived one of these five to seven year stints on a starship dealing with the shit Picard, Kirk, and the rest faced, I'd expect a lot of folks to move on from Star Fleet as fast as they possibly could.
In the deleted Cmdr. Madden scene at the end Riker is wearing 4 pips.
You mean they retire as soon as they're eligible for their Starfleet pension. Or at least the equivalent in the "moneyless" society of the Federation.
Riker might not even be retired when we see him. He may just be on extended leave or something.
