was troy an ex girlfriend or did she and riker have an on-again-off-again thing? it was never clear

or were picard and beverly, riker and troy in open relationships because they worked too much for personal lives

the writers wanted to hint that maybe they were both couples sorta without explaining or committing

honestly 7 years on the same ship with the same people and few people had any kind of home life it was probably like a small town applebees waitstaff where everyone has dated everyone else at some point and can’t find another job

It's both. I remember hearing that Frakes and Sirtis basically played their characters as if they were still in (some sort of) a relationship.

My take is that Riker and Troi had a really intense relationship on Betazed, they separated for a while, then when they met again on the Enterprise they just had a lowkey thing where they hang out and occasionally they gently caress, but are extremely not exclusive.

I still say Gary Seven and Seven of Nine would be perfect to get Tuvixed together into a single character. (Who would, of course, be named Gary of Nine.)

Yes that is the impression I have, and it's even confirmed in the episode where she gets mind raped and it starts with her and bearded Riker hooking up.

Later in Insurrection however this is contradicted when she says she never kissed him with a beard.

Hey in the holodeck are images of characters projected with the sound of them speaking generated separately or does the projection include their lungs and tongue and whatever and the sound of speech, singing, instruments etc is all actually analogue

She never kissed him *up there*...

(Actually, I can think of at least one episode where she kissed his beard, the one with the monogender aliens)

Kinda makes me wonder what would happen if they tried to make a show that just picks up like season 6 of TNG, and doesn't fumble the first season or two rehashing a precursor series or playing anything "safe". I guess there are gonna be replies saying that that's Farscape and I should check out Farscape, which I probably should.

You definitely should, although Farscape is decidedly an anti-Trek in a lot of ways so factor that into your expectations.

I had a job across the parking lot from an Applebee's and at the end of every day you could find several members of our staff over there drinking and shooting the poo poo. I did it a couple times and it was fun, but then I realized that was apparently the extent of a few of their social lives. Drinking with their coworkers. At a bar in a chain restaurant. Kinda killed the vibe for me.

This is really fully explained in the first Thomas riker episode but basically they were very serious and then riker broke it off because he got a promotion that would have made them go long distance.

They should have figured out more ways to work in Dixon Hill episodes of TNG. I think there are only two and they're pretty decent episodes. Its me I'm the Star Trek fan that loves holodeck adventures.
