Riker plays a complex instrument with no fixed resonant settings where your arm extension and lip tightness determines the note and your breath drives the volume. It is an instrument you play with your entire body.
Data plays an instrument with no fixed positions that requires careful control. It’s an instrument capable of playing multiple notes at once, but requires neither lips nor lungs, perhaps indicating his slight lack of humanity.
Picard plays a recorder using someone else’s hands:
No big surprise that Riker plays an instrument based on rythmic thrusting.
An artist commits.
The real difference is that Jonathan Frakes actually knows how to play trombone, and pretty well. Patrick Stewart and Brent Spiner don’t play their instruments at all.
Spiner, however, is an accomplished singer.
Holy shit
Oh man it’s a CRIME that we never got to hear Data sing wtf!
We did, just not enough.
Why don’t I remember this
Its from early in Nemesis during the wedding reception for Riker and Troi.
They get married???
Oh thank you, still haven’t watched the movies but I’ll get to it this week
Edit: The end product of suffering…
Isn’t Rom arguably the most important?
But who was his mentor?
But Rom is a union man
Never finished DN9 but have heard this joke before - what’s the meaning?
[don’t worry I’ll finish it someday!]
There’s an episode where Rom forms a union of workers at Quarks, O’Brien describes his great great great relative as “he was more than a hero, he was a union man!”
Meanwhile Rom is facing some serious consequences for trying to start a union in a ferenghi company.
It’s a good episode!
Oh I have seen this one!
I thought maybe he did something else in the last two seasons, which I have not seen yet.
But as John Lennon said, “A working class man is something to be!”
The last two seasons are awesome and I won’t spoil them for you.
Definitely worth watching
Riker plays the bone
Is that really much different than Picard playing the (skin) flute?
I want the prequel where Riker was in a ska band
Riker, that is.
Earl Copper?
Riker with dreds
He’s more of a Swing Revival guy, I think.
Nah, he doesn’t have the right tone for jazz trombone. At least that’s what my band teacher said.
I believe it. Trek is an amazing franchise, but it doesn’t really do jazz.
I love it. Even the holodeck musicians tell him, “don’t quit your day job” lol
IT GETS LONGER TO HANDLE HARDER BLOWS.
Trombone lips spread hips
But is it rusty?
Ackchyually 🤓☝️trombones are made of brass and therefore don’t rust, they corrode. The biggest threats to a trombone slide are dents and verdigris
The biggest threats to a trombone slide are dents and verdigris
Left out band members with devious minds.
No one specified where the dents and verdigis come from
Trombone players are a bit of a mess. They can’t even be trusted with valves.
…if you know what I mean.
What is the meaning of this gif? People walking?
The context is concerning modifications Geordi made to her warp engine design as a result of “real world” application as they work their way through engineering.
Oh yeah I remember him saying that when she didn’t like how he modified her design.
And then he fell in love <3
A day late, but relevant.
