Star Trek DS9 Episode 55 - Defiant

"Commander William Riker shows up unannounced and Kira shows him the Defiant, where he reveals his true motives for coming to Deep Space Nine."

I'm a sucker for these crossover episodes. I enjoyed the twist in this one. You see, Riker shows up on DS9 and Kira takes him on a tour of the Defiant. He then takes her hostage and steals the ship. Come to find out, it is really Thomas Riker and he is a member of The Maquis now. Remember him? The second Riker that was created by a transporter mess up back on TNG? So cool. I actually like Thomas Riker better than William, he is much more suave and badass. If only he had a scar or something to differentiate between the two. Like Tomax and Xamot.

55 down and 121 to go

I loved this one! Well, I loved seeing Riker again... any Riker. then we never saw Thomas again, right? Unless he showed up on Voyager.

You never see him again. Which sucks, they easily could have used him again at some point.

Would have been awesome if he had become a recurring badguy. Actually, if he had just become Xanatos from Gargoyles. Except as Riker.
