Roddenberry's 'no conflict' rule failed this TNG episode.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Commander William Riker reunites with his father, Kyle Riker , in Star Trek: The Next Generation, but Gene Roddenberry's insistence on avoiding conflict made the episode fall flat. When creating TNG, Roddenberry implemented a "rule" that there would be no conflict among the show's main characters, implying that they would have moved past that by the 24th century.

Roddenberry Overruled Adding More Emotion To Star Trek: TNG's Riker Father & Son Story The confrontation between Will and his father falls flat.

Thankfully, modern Star Trek shows have mostly abandoned Roddenberry's "no conflict" rule, and Star Trek: Picard gave Jonathan Frakes the chance to show much more emotional range as Captain Riker. "The Icarus Factor" does have an entertaining B-plot as Ensign Wesley Crusher , Lt. Commander Data , and Lt. Geordi La Forge recreate an important Klingon ceremony to cheer up their friend Lt. Worf .
