Imzadi.
Will Riker and Deanna Troi: throughout the run of Star Trek: The
Next Generation, it was clear there was a deep connection between
these two characters. However, they never truly "got together"
until 2002's Star Trek Nemesis. What is the history between Will
and Deanna? What drew them together and made them "Imzadi"? At last
we look at the story that tells the tale of TNG's greatest
romance!
In this episode of Literary Treks, hosts Dan Gunther and Bruce Gibson are joined by Amy Nelson of Earl Grey and The Edge to talk about Imzadi by Peter David. We discuss how we first read Imzadi, Riker's life without Deanna, Will's behavior as a young man, how Will and Deanna first got together, the Guardian of Forever, temporal shenanigans, and wrap up with our final thoughts and ratings.
At the top of the show, Dan and Bruce review the final issue in the TNG: Terra Incognita comic series and discuss your Babel Conference feedback on Literary Treks 254: A Likely Victim.
