Riker forgetting who he was yet hooking up with both his ex and the coworker who hates him is the most Riker thing ever

This is a man who turned an attempt to embarrass him into a causal admitting he would be okay with being with two Klingon women at the same time.
Like, for an episode, he was almost his own romantic rival.

I don't remember him in a tryst with two female Klingons in any novels or episodes but may have forgotten.

Riker absolutely overcompenstetes for Picard for a bookish, introverted nerd lol
Mlabonte21@reddit
lol— same situation in that episode where he wakes up 20 years in the future.
He’s like: “jokes on YOU, Tomalok! I created Minuet on the holodeck—she’s not even REAL!
And the Romulans are like: 😳 and all embarrassed for him…

That was the most Tommy Dreamer moment in the show - Riker pulling the “I’ll take ‘em both, I’m Hardcore” in context
UTchamp@reddit
What episode is this? I dont recall
eddiegibson@reddit
The first one is A Matter of Honor, season 2, episode 8. The second one is Second Chances, season 6, episode 24.

Which is also what Ryker was telling himself

Don't forget, his transporter clone Tom almost was his romantic rival.
eddiegibson@reddit
That was what I was referring to.

I love that awkward scene in Ten Forward at the end!

Ya gotta give him credit though, he saw Roe and Troi sitting at a table together and walked over there and said “now what?”
BitterFuture@reddit
So, I understand I'm in trouble.
How much trouble am I in?

He was a space player. I love the DS9 when Thomas Showed up posing as him and all the ladies were checking him out .
Neelix-And-Chill@reddit
I just love how the show ends with Worf and Troi starting a relationship… but the second Frakes is in charge of a movie (Insurrection)… Riker is taking a bath with Troi.

During my current rewatch, I got to the episode, The Game and thought to myself, "Just how many times has Riker's dick gotten himself and/or the ship in trouble?"
Ralph--Hinkley@reddit
The Game is an annoying episode, but at least it has Ashley Judd.
Valuable_Soil_766@reddit
I'd skip it if it wasn't filled with judd
Ralph--Hinkley@reddit
I also love A Time to Kill, you get sweaty Ashley Judd. However I skip The Game more often than not.
DonktorDonkenstein@reddit
"Sweaty Ashley Judd" ok now I suddenly need to own A Time To Kill on 4k bluray.
Medical-Parfait-8185@reddit
mmmmmm Ashley Judd :P\~
Raguleader@reddit
Better question: How many times has it gotten himself and/or the ship out of trouble?

It cracks me up that this is a clip from an infomercial selling enterprise software.

I love how in the middle of everyone figuring out the amnesia plot, the three of them are trying to get it in.

Federal-Opening-2742@reddit
Did Frakes write and direct this one? (Can't really blame him if he did - but ... well ... )
GetBillDozed@reddit
Les Landau directed the Conundrum
Federal-Opening-2742@reddit
I doubt Frakes had many complaints. :)

Those pips are the only think holding him back.
Riker’s career is kept in high-gear thru the actions of a secret, multiplanetary alliance of jilted boyfriends and cuckolded husbands across known space.

That’s only what we got to see. In-universe pretty sure he hooked up with more than the two of them!
