About this episode
The episode discusses Riker's encounter with the USS Pegasus and explores his past and character development.
Only so much time before we encountered John Locke, the Stepfather of the Star Trek universe. Riker meets his Captain from another Ship - the USS Pegasus - which was deemed lost 12 years ago. Well, it's back, and the Romulans want it. That's when we discover there's a lot more in Riker's past that made him the No. 1 he is today, including new phaser settings (mutiny!). A wonderfully acted and directed episode with a stellar cast. Must Watch! Please send us any thoughts on the series to LetsReEngage@gmail.com or on Bluesky, Greg's social media of choice.
