Name the episode, and was Riker tempted by the ladies?

The episode "Deja Q" was Q's best outing on TNG, but concerning the women, my guess is that Riker had to experience some fleeting emotional reaction or he wouldn't have told Q off like that. "You're so stolid! You weren't like that before the beard..." And really, Q did do a right fair job of rendering them.

The best part of the episode is when Q gives Data the gift of laughter. What a damn joy.

False. The best part was obviously:

Q: What do I need to do to prove I'm powerless?

Worf: You can die.

It’s even better than that, Worf simply says “Die,” and nothing more. The look on everyone rises face is amazing. And then of course Q’s response is also priceless “Oh very clever Worf. Eat any good books lately?”

Honestly, one of my favorite exchanges in all of Star Trek

He could go to Holodeck 4 any time he wanted.

Of course Riker is tempted by these women, Riker is a very sexual man. However, in this moment, he’s acting as a Starfleet officer. Q is a threat to his ship, and being a command officer on that ship, it’s his duty to protect it. So he says no, he doesn’t need Q’s fantasy women. That’s the correct call, because he knows what happens when you play Q’s games.

Nah. Riker gets enough real women.

Ricker literally is accused of rape in the next episode.

Riker doesn't want to be fed. Riker wants to hunt.

Tempted to do what? Have sex on the bridge? Leave his post with them? There isn’t much you can do in that situation.

He could at least slip them something hard with his contact details on, something they wouldn't forget.

Although, he IS not foreign to appreciating the beauty of a woman's mind and body, he is never shown having no control over his desires.

Especially when it comes to his duty, his choice is not even up to debate.

So, no.

3 x 13 Deja Q? Literally the one I have on as I scroll.

And probably. How could he not be?

Riker is tempted by any woman lol. He is a dirty bastard

Thank you! Couldn't remember the name of the ep. I knew it was the one where Q gets kicked out of the continuum with no powers. Chooses to be human for his "punishment ".
