Jeb! Repetition posted:I swear Frakes is actually playing him a little different, like eye movements and voice and stuff. Would he have put that much effort in? Frakes cares enough about the craft that when he asked to direct an episode and Berman told him he'd have to learn, he basically spent every waking hour of the day on the set or in post-production: Shadowing directors, watching editors, things like that. Yes, he put that much effort in. And it shows in his TV work (just don't look at his movies as examples, because  ).

Jeb!'s posts prompted me to watch SFDebris' video for "Second Chances," and he made an interesting suggestion. As we've mentioned, the TNG writing staff was flirting with the idea of killing Will off, promoting Data, and putting Thomas at the conn. SFDebris took the idea, but gave it a little twist; instead of killing Will, have him finally accept a promotion and get a ship of his own. The idea would be that the events of "Chain of Command" would set off a period of soul-searching in Will about the state of his career, and this would only be amplified by meeting his double, an echo of the man he was before he decided to devote himself entirely to getting the big chair. Will would come to the conclusion that he was stagnating by staying as first officer of the Enterprise, which would motivate him to finally grab the brass ring and bring his character arc to a close, all while shaking up the character dynamics of the show without having to write Frakes out of the series. Personally, I prefer seeing the same faces year after year, but even I admit the idea has legs.

It's kind of jarring to me that they keep bringing up the idea of Riker getting offered commands from seasons 1-3, but after BOBW it stops for the most part. I wish we had seen more of Commander Shelby in the series.

Apparently, if Patrick Stewart hadn't renewed his contract and come back, we would have - the plan for that was to promote Riker to captain and make Shelby his first officer.

I wonder what happened to Borg universe Tommy Riker. I bet he just lived his life on that planet and never knew a thing, just pining for Deanna til he died alone, an old man.

Riker does get his own command in Titan. I mean, books and all so canon's out the window, but it's definitely an idea that's been explored.

Moddington posted:The Titan is canon, Nemesis brings it up as Riker's upcoming command near the beginning. That's awesome. I'm only familiar with the premise of the books and missed that nod in Nemesis. The concept of a mostly non-human crew with Riker and Troi out there spousing it up is enticing.

There was meant to be a conceit that they were now low on ships after BoBW, but that doesn't make sense for long. I'm pretty sure they would've just slipped the fleet buildup in a different way and done Improbable Cause anyway.
