Riker makes some bad choices in this TNG episode.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Commander William T. Riker became a great Starfleet Captain, but you wouldn't know it from watching this episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. For seven seasons and four movies, Commander Riker served as First Officer on the USS Enterprise-D under the command of Captain Jean-Luc Picard .
The Pakleds are strange aliens, even for Star Trek , and their depiction borders on offensive. The dumb aliens would not be seen on screen again until the animated Star Trek: Lower Decks , where they feel significantly less out of place. After La Forge beams over to the ship and begins repairs, Counselor Deanna Troi arrives on the bridge and tells Riker that Geordi is in "grave danger." It's already odd that Riker did not consult Troi about the Pakleds in the first place , but it's stranger still that he completely ignores her worries. Not only does Riker underestimate the Pakleds, he also ignores the advice of both Worf and Troi, which results in the Pakleds taking Geordi hostage.
