Ceti Alpha 3: A Star Trek Podcast

252 - Thomas Riker Season 7 - Part 2 - ...and now the conclusion. The trio completes their Thomas trilogy covering the first appearance of transporter double Lieutenant Riker, and his subsequent adventures on the Enterprise-D (if he had replaced Commander Riker). We continue our journey into season seven with the Riker-focused episode, "Pegasus." How does a mid-career Riker deal with his former captain, Admiral Pressman, and his new captain, Jean-Luc Picard? Especially a Riker who has been stranded for years, reflecting on his life choices? We also follow Data in red, as he grows in the role of first officer through the rest of the season. How do the "Lower Decks" officers try to press a Commander Data? Who gives Deanna Troi her bridge officer test? And what are the potential futures for Thomas Riker and Data in "All Good Things..."? We also go through four TNG feature films, ending with saying goodbye to Data and Riker in a whole new way.
