8. It took me about 37 years to appreciate Riker as a character.

I never loved the guy (like I did with Picard, Data, Worf) during the entire TNG run.

Troy was almost as annoying as Wesley.

Both the Riker and Troy characters were terrific in the recent Star Trek: Picard.

Frakes as a director was consistently terrific. I appreciated that in him always, except for ...

I remember feeling quite letdown by the Enterprise finale. The angle of seeing the events of the finale as a future holodeck research topic was interesting. But, he interacted with all the characters of Enterprise instead of just watching from a distance. He made it all about himself.

Seasons 3 and 4 of Enterprise were some of the best Trek ever.
