    Another nit about Riker’s argument: at one point he detaches Data’s arm to demonstrate that he’s a machine. Four years later Riker’s arm was amputated and reattached by the subspace aliens in Schisms.

      well, I’d settle for that bit where Riker takes his arm off, “I’d like to call Riker to the stand, please”, and then a curt gesture to Worf, armed with a batleth.

      (if you’re getting the sense that I don’t like Riker… there’s a reason for that. )

        Look, just because the affair didn’t turn out well doesn’t mean you should have bad feelings towards Riker. Will has to do what Will has to do and there are just so many life forms out there that he has yet to fuck.
