#TNG S05E06, "The Game". Riker tries a new hypno file on Risa, and before long the whole crew is hooked.

Oct 13, 2026, 12:38 PM@aphyr S5E17, “outcast”. Riker is just a chaser, thats it, thats the plot

@dangerdyke correct, but also one of my fav episodes for her monologue

Olympus MonsTerIlludium_Q36@woof.groupOct 12, 2026, 1:49 PM@aphyr - I never liked the character of Ro Laren. I was like "I can't believe someone like her got to be a bridge crew on a Federation flagship when she clearly needed to be sent back to boot camp. I guess the writers thought Picard needed to be a crybabysitter." Plus, she clearly didn't want to be in Starfleet, and shonuff she ended up betraying it. Then 30 years later in "Star Trek Picard" they had her rub Picard's nose in it.
Don't get me started on the actress in "Battlestar Gallactica".
