I can't stand Riker either - he's so fucking smarmy . . . but Picard can get it!
Also - never watched Star Trek . . . started after listening to this episode . . . I'm nearly through the 1st season of TNG right now. Very much enjoying it, but, Chemda - I think you should watch other sci-fi too . . . I think your excitement about this show is pretty much for the same reasons that I think most great sci-fi is great. It approaches a lot of modern issues from an "others" perspective which allows them to tell really meaningful stories in ways that are relatable without bashing you over the head.
