  Waiting for Riker's beard.

  Riker's Beard
  Euphemism for a moment in time (typically in pop culture) where something or someone that was lackluster and/or underachieving suddenly and surprisingly became much better and exciting. Taken from Star Trek - The Next Generation, which many fans considered wanting until Commander Riker grew a beard at the start of Season Two, after which the show was solid and well-received for the rest of its run.

    Yes, Riker's Beard made *Riker* and much of TNG better.
    Sadly, the gain in awesome was off-set by ...
    
    ... Dr Pulaski. Bleurgh.Continuity
  • I liked Dr. Pulaski more than Beverley. That move was Gene Roddenberry's last with Star Trek for the most part. They shunned him after that.CyBrainX
  • and then brought back Gates McFadden.CyBrainX
  • Pulaski was the worst, could not wait for Beverly to come backsofakingback
