        Riker, over comms: “'Sup, stupid.”

        Thomas: “I’m closing the channel.”

        Riker: “How would like to make some extra scratch and keep my Imzadi company for a few weeks?”

        Thomas: “…I’m listening.”

      Huh. Been a while since I seen Nemesis. I must be conflating the two movies.

      Also just means the trill had bad taste, that’s all

        I do prefer the beard, but later Riker without a beard works well. I think it’s because the character and actor have grown into the part at that point and don’t present themselves the same as the early season Riker. I was going to call him “gangly” but I don’t think that’s right, but first season Riker was less sure of things.

        Let’s not forget the other badass old Riker with the peppered gray beard who said “I’ll get the Klingon’s attention”.

          I think the word you’re looking for is “lanky”.

          He was, kind of. But those first episodes with the thinner beard (he was wearing fake facial hair to make it fuller) made him look even more like a pencil.
