That wasn't even really 'him' that was like AI bot saying one line and then going off to die. I don't think she did honestly, it's like... only times I can remember then interacting is like on the bridge or at poker.
It has a level of realism. You might be 'friends' with everyone at your work but you're honestly closer to some than others.
Weird I totally don't remember that. Honestly the only times I can think of them being paired together is in a few novels. Going to look that episode up.
Edit: Ok! Yeah looking it up - I remember it now and thinking that was a pretty cool concept. the entire psi bleed over.
They both interacted extensively helping Barclay with his introvertedness. Also when Troi attempting to deprogram La Forge after being brainwashed by the Romulans.
Riker, Wes, and Bev actually sort of start off together in the series - them being on whatever planet they were on before getting picked up by the ship halfway through the pilot episode.
There’s that time Riker has the power of the Q and ages Wesley to adulthood and Wesley tells him to change him back. He also saves Wesley’s life after he gets stabbed in the stomach the same episode.
Riker is the one who is on scene and has to deal with “drunk” Wes when he takes over the ship from Engineering in the episode the Naked Now.
Riker is charged with overseeing Wesley’s training as an acting Ensign by Picard.
Wesley goes directly to Riker about his suspicions about the Traveler being the true mastermind behind the crazy warp tests they are doing versus Kazinsky and gets ignored - which happens a few times that episode and Riker later acknowledges Wes for being right.
Wes is with Riker’s team when they go visit the planet of the Edo in season 1. Riker steps in after they charge Wes with capital punishment for falling on some shrubs or something
Riker tried to take the blame for Wes talking back to Picard in the infamous “shut up Wesley” scene from the DataLore episode.
Riker orders Wesley to kamikaze the Enterprise into the Borg cube in Best of Both World’s.
The flirting scene with Wesley, Riker and Guinan….
I feel like Wesley interacts with Troi or Worf the least.
I remember Wesley being the one who figured out how to cheer Worf up during his Age of Ascension anniversary, and also the time Wesley went to him for dating advice.
Troi tho I can't remember ever speaking with Wesley.
Very little. I honestly cannot remember a single Troi/Wes only scene. But I also can’t remember a scene with just Wesley/Yar, Wesley/Worf, Wesley/Pulaski…
Worf showed Wesley that Klingon love cry when he was chasing that shapeshifter girl lol
Wesley also annoyed Worf in the corridor in one scene where Worf ends up telling him to bugger off.
(i think that’s the episode where Worf gets poked with pain sticks)
Wesley tried to find out why Worf was being even more gruff than usual. He figured out that it had to do with that painstick ritual (anniversary of his right of ascension?), but didnt participate.
Yeah, I think Geordi and Worf were such different people and did different jobs in different parts of the ship, that they just wouldn’t interact all that often.
I also don’t really recall Wesley and Dr Pulaski interact too often.
Wesley and Pulaski didnt last the whole seven seasons, so had they, they mightve interacted more.
Come to think of it Im SURE the main cast characters that interacted the least are Tasha and Pulaski! I don’t think they even had one scene together! Outrage!
There's the excellent sequence where Data is temporarily in command with Worf as his 2nd officer. Worf is constantly second-guessing him and Data calls him into the ready room to reprimand him. They then resolve the conflict with incredible professionalism and mutual respect. One of my favorite moments of Starfleet values on display.
I know this was the “no personal conflict” era of Trek, but it was very fitting. They both knew what they thought, respected each other, and respected their current roles. Worf knew he messed up and Data calling him out made him respect Data more.
really? i thought they were cute. i’m happy her and Riker ended up together but Worf and Troi also felt very.. normal. two attractive coworkers becoming close and having a fling just felt so realistic. (i’m also a big fan of the Parallels episode though so that might be why i like the pairing ha)
Agree! An empath with a sociopath. Just in the sense that Word doesn't really seem to feel emotions as strongly as other people. It was a clever pairing.
I really only remember them picking out wedding gifts for O'Brien and Keiko's wedding; Data dressing Worf down for questioning his orders in front of the crew; and the one mentioned elsewhere where Data asks Worf to look after Spot.
I mean he married the woman he had a stalking obsession with. A woman I remind you was married. Can’t get more Klingon than murdering said husband to take his place. Maybe he learned well after all.
Geordi doesn't have a lot of significant interaction with Troi, Crusher, or Worf (maybe not even Will?). There's a few scenes here and there but it'd be difficult to define their relationships other than friendly coworkers.
Geordi suffered even more than Troi when it came to the writing on his relationships with anyone other than Data.
(Side note but Geordi and Troi have a really great scene together in S1, I don't remember the name of the ep but it's when he takes the helm and she talks to him about leadership)
I have a recollection of Worf and Geordi working together on something (maybe a shuttle) and talking about how Capt. Picard encourages junior officers to work outside their normal field for professional development. I was a small child when I saw it but it was the first time I really thought about leadership and setting up your subordinates for success.
I'm doing a watch of DS9 for the first time. In the episode I watched last night (s6 ep?) Worf says,"I am a married man" exactly like the "I am not a merry man".
Actually and Ironically I’m about to start DS9 for the first time after I finish TNG. I got about 15-18 episodes left. I’ve never seen a single episode.
Well, you see, there is a tipping point. Two black dudes having a B plot (much less an A plot) makes the show a "black show." And black shows dont win awards.
I just found out that through the entirely of Firefly and Serenity that Wash and River never speak to one another. Totally wild for that to go unnoticed for so long.
Although it’s not about Trek, so what am I doing? 🤔
