Ah yes, the Riker gets gaslighted episode.

[@realnoahsimpson]

1 of the “Riker gets gaslighted” episodes

[@excrono]

@@realnoahsimpsonHe learned that gaslighting only works if you get trapped in the state of mind that others box you into.

Ironically, this episode had the best combadge design. Having the rank pips embedded into the combadge itself is a genius sort of simplicity.

[@rustysanchez8416]

It’s amazing that Riker saw through this ruse. The com badges are different and Beverly’s hair is different. Almost a perfect plan

[@KookyKay82]

You made me look at the badges and I just realized there's a continuity error. Beverly is not wearing hers for a hot moment there and then it appears in the next shot.

[@LGranthamsHeir]

Dr Crusher wore an interesting ponytail in this episode. For a moment I thought she was Dr Quinn Medicine Woman (played by Jane Seymour) 😉

Un programilla llamado doctora reina, la curandera!!

[@dadevi]

That Klingon female had the best model walk out of everyone on the show!

[@jeannemoder]

Loved this episode ❤

[@julianaylor4351]

This is a very beautifully written story. Worth rewatching.

[@donnastark3101]

If he just woke up from a fever that morning, why is he in uniform now?

[@XHunter442]

I think this lead to the idea of that one star trek enterprise episode in season 3, where archer lost his ability to hold short term memory and the end of earth!

[@tazchanday2422]

A true fan watching this episode would of figured when they saw the first clue, his supposed wife, she's really from the holodeck in season one when the Binarieans stole The Enterprise

[@qjohn852]

So did they dress him after he started to wake up, or did they just leave him in his uniform for 10 days?

[@EvilXero359]

Queue John Carpenter's In The Mouth Of Madness theme

[@cormacmacsuibhne2867]

3:47 very obvious dubbing there.

[@rustysanchez8416]

I never noticed that! Good catch

[@LGranthamsHeir]

Is this episode where Riker dates and (presumably bangs) a hologram? Minuet (Carolyn McCormick) was a hottie

[@showstealer1829]

No that's season 1. 11001001

[@momokochama1844]

@@showstealer1829 yes, but the Romulans used Minuets picture for Rikers future wife. thats how he saw throught the ruse. he knew she isn't real, so it had to be some illusion to be honest, hard to believe Tomalak word make such a amateur mistake. but thats the only problem I have with the episode (wich gave us quite a bit meme material 😁)

[@excrono]

Riker may have been able to feel some empathy for Barclay after this experience. When you don’t know the holograms aren’t real.

[@realsatoshihashimoto]

​@@excronoNah, Riker will never get over the fact Barclay programmed Riker's hologram as a dwarf 😂 So no empathy for Barclay as far as Riker is concerned 😂

[@excrono]

@@realsatoshihashimoto Ego will block empathy, every time.

[@johnmurray8835]

I remember this episode. Riker is made to think he has 16 years worth of memory., and this whole situation was created by one desperately lonely little alien boy !!!

[@johnmurray8835]

That should be memory loss !!!

[@panaderofilms]

If Riker was in a coma, why is he in full uniform??

[@giantclam1822]

After 10 days, hes gotta be pretty ripe.

[@terrihall6310]

I wish they’d tell you which season and episode instead of making us try to figure it out ourselves.

[@davidarimond5762]

Check the description for the video. If on mobile then tap on the title it will show the full description including the part that has Season + Episode.

[@Locutus]

You obviously didn't read the description.... 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@realnoahsimpson]

the episode title is at the beginning

[@oogrooq]

No you can't, don't even try!
