There’s an episode where Rom forms a union of workers at Quarks, O’Brien describes his great great great relative as “he was more than a hero, he was a union man!”
Meanwhile Rom is facing some serious consequences for trying to start a union in a ferenghi company.
The real difference is that Jonathan Frakes actually knows how to play trombone, and pretty well. Patrick Stewart and Brent Spiner don’t play their instruments at all.
Riker plays a complex instrument with no fixed resonant settings where your arm extension and lip tightness determines the note and your breath drives the volume. It is an instrument you play with your entire body.
Data plays an instrument with no fixed positions that requires careful control. It's an instrument capable of playing multiple notes at once, but requires neither lips nor lungs, perhaps indicating his slight lack of humanity.
Picard plays a recorder using someone else's hands:
The context is concerning modifications Geordi made to her warp engine design as a result of "real world" application as they work their way through engineering.

Isn’t Rom arguably the most important?

But who was his mentor?

But Rom is a union man

Never finished DN9 but have heard this joke before - what's the meaning?
[don't worry I'll finish it someday!]

It’s a good episode!

Oh I have seen this one!
I thought maybe he did something else in the last two seasons, which I have not seen yet.
But as John Lennon said, "A working class man is something to be!"

The last two seasons are awesome and I won’t spoil them for you.
Definitely worth watching

Spiner, however, is an accomplished singer.

Its from early in Nemesis during the wedding reception for Riker and Troi.

I want the prequel where Riker was in a ska band
ummthatguy@lemmy.world · 26 pts · 94d
Riker, that is.
Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org · 12 pts · 94d
He's more of a Swing Revival guy, I think.
Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 94d
Nah, he doesn’t have the right tone for jazz trombone. At least that’s what my band teacher said.
Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org · 7 pts · 94d
I believe it. Trek is an amazing franchise, but it doesn't really do jazz.

I love it. Even the holodeck musicians tell him, "don't quit your day job" lol

No big surprise that Riker plays an instrument based on rythmic thrusting.
An artist commits.

Is that really much different than Picard playing the (skin) flute?
Davel23@fedia.io · 12 pts · 94d
But is it rusty?
rockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 19 pts · 94d
Ackchyually 🤓☝️trombones are made of brass and therefore don't rust, they corrode. The biggest threats to a trombone slide are dents and verdigris
ummthatguy@lemmy.world · 26 pts · 94d
Left out band members with devious minds.
Mnem667@retrofed.com · 15 pts · 94d

Oh yeah I remember him saying that when she didn't like how he modified her design.
And then he fell in love <3

Trombone players are a bit of a mess. They can't even be trusted with valves.
