Don't you hear my call, though you're many years away, don't you hear me calling you?

Is Voyager first in number of times her captain threatens to blow her up?

Am I the only one who liked the scene with him and his Dad whacking the hell out of each other with sticks whilst blindfolded? Granted, the costumes were a bit silly, and I wouldn't exactly call it the ultimate evolution in Martial arts, but the conversation between Riker and his father is great.

I liked it too. It gave Riker a kind of depth that he lacked, even with his other character development.

It also showed another side to him other then the assured, confident man we saw on TNG. That was one of the things I liked about "Pegasus".

Infact, I'd suggest him finally standing up to Admiral Pressman as one of his best moments.

Dueling Rikers (Second Chances)
"I've never made love to an alien before..." (First Contact (Episode))
His performance in All Good Things was pretty good
His introduction on the Holodeck with Data (Farpoint)
Crashing the Enterprise in Generations. Maybe not a good Riker moment, but a good scene overall.

I personally like when he dealt Enterprise its deathblow in TATV
