- Sorry, but this incorrect. We had the chance to see Riker's father in
- one of the earlier episodes in the second season.
- The initial "T" is Theolonius - spelling may be wrong.
- Riker's mannerisms may appear to be the same as Kirk's, but
- that may be a result of his competition with Kirk to be the
- YOUNGEST person of starfleet to become Captain. A record held by
- Kirk himself.
- (I do not see, however, the similarity.)
