When my brother's Klingon Death Metal band played on top of the Space Needle at the 40th anniversary Trek convention last September, there was Riker snapping photos. It was weird.

Some days you get the bear, and some days the bear gets you. I'm afraid I still don't understand, sir. I've had twelve years to think about it. And if I had it to do over again, I would have grabbed the phaser and pointed it at you instead of them. They were just sucked into space. That might've been one of the shortest assignments in the history of Starfleet. You're going to be an interesting companion, Mr. Data. Well, that's certainly good to know. You enjoyed that. Fear is the true enemy, the only enemy. The Federation's gone; the Borg is everywhere! Worf, It's better than music. It's jazz. I suggest you drop it, Mr. Data. Some days you get the bear, and some days the bear gets you. Maybe if we felt any human loss as keenly as we feel one of those close to us, human history would be far less bloody.
lol.
regarding riker's style of sitting down, I'm fairly certain that this was a conscious decision on Frakes' part and that he is, therefore, an acting genius.
― herr doktor (askance johnson), Thursday, 9 May 2013 15:25 (thirteen years ago)
Sitting down in a way that displays your crotch to the entire room. That's so Riker.

it's because he's cocky

I think it's a combination of being tall, having to stay in shot, and also Riker just wanting to appear awesome.
― Camp Macaroni Style (snoball), Thursday, 9 May 2013 15:56 (thirteen years ago)
it's hilarious that nobody ever says anything about it -- you'd think picard would be like, "what the fuck are you doing #1, sit down like a normal humanoid"
― herr doktor (askance johnson), Thursday, 9 May 2013 15:58 (thirteen years ago)
Ha, yes, the one scene where Riker cock flashes Ten Forward and then Picard sits down without airing out his junk is probably my favorite.
About halfway through the video I started thinking, "Is that how men sit in chairs and I've just never noticed it?"
― carl agatha, Thursday, 9 May 2013 16:02 (thirteen years ago)
Oh wait it's not Picard. It's some other bald Starfleet officer.

According to a comment I stumbled across:
This was on reddit yesterday and Wil Wheaton confirmed Frakes did this because he injured his back and it was more comfortable then twisting his back to sit down the hundred times he would for each retake of a scene. It is also the reason he constantly leans on things.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 11 May 2013 23:40 (thirteen years ago)

then after the writers’ strike, I’d grown a beard because I hated to shave. And Roddenberry fell in love with the beard, and the beard became a part of the character in a way that was, as Gene described it, was a nautical, decorative beard, which he took great pride in designing on my face.
