The Anti-Riker Collective

[at Quark's]

If you can't let your guard down with one of your closest friends, offering some fun for you, then who can you let your guard down with? Bev & Deanna would have no reason to suspect Will would introduce them to something dangerous. That's what was so pernicious about it. Even Picard, who is arguably the most socially isolated person on the ship fell prey, because there was at least one person there (Bev) with whom he lets his guard down. The game spread (& rapidly enough to go unnoticed until it was too late) because of the chain of personal trust that runs through the ship

On its own, that's true, and fair enough.

However, they work in an environment where any of their 'closest friends' can and sometimes do turn out to be possessed by an alien or parasite, or under some other form of influence, or even be a flat out 'double' of the original -- I'd guess about once per year. You'd think they'd have gotten a bit more reserved and wary over the years

He didn't wanna spoil the mood by jumping out of the bed, demanding his communicator back, and calling down a team to scan the game and analyze its neurological effects before continuing anything with her XD

I was thinking more along the lines of maybe using the vast resources at his disposal to look into who TF he's bedding down with in the 1st place, I'm thinking that the bare minimum of research that a modern day woman probably has to do to make sure she's not going to be alone with a creep might have saved everyone a lot of trouble

I notice in my journeys through Star Trek fan groups that second only to conservatives is the community dislike of Will Rikers’ character. Why is this?

I'm not trying to get this thread off topic, but what is that referring to?

Just that Star Trek fans dislike Riker and conservatives quite a lot in my interpretation.

I saw that and let it slide but probably shouldn’t have. This is not the forum for contemporary presumptuous politicization. Please no more.

There is nothing presumptuous about it. It’s a valid, fair and supported comparison, even in the confines of this forum. Besides if you are against contemporary politicization, you have your work cut out for you in here.

I’ll express my comparisons as I wish until you have a valid reason for me not to and I mean valid across the board. Thanks.

I’ve been a moderator on this board for almost 15 years and never had an issue like this arise. You have zero data to support your contention. I have my work cut out for me at the moment starting with you.
