CMDR. WILL RIKER
Originally Played By: Jonathan Frakes
Wishful Casting: Dillon Casey
I always saw Riker as being the Kirk archetype for TNG and Jonathan Frakes seemed quite at home in playing the skirt-chasing aspect but God love him, the guy was a seriously shitty action hero. A rebooted Riker would need to to be a chick magnet as well as a buttkicker. So who better than Dillon Casey who embodied both of those characteristics perfectly well during his time as ex-Navy Seal/covert agent Sean Pierce on the criminally underrated series NIKITA.

I kept trying to figure out where I had seen Dichen Lachman and it finally dawned on me: she played Suren the would-be vampire queen of Boston on the US version of Being Human. It’s a small world after all/It’s a small, small world.

I liked her on Being Human…wish her storyline had been extended some.

A new series call “Lineage” should be the focus featuring the kids all the series with a new Captain Wesley Crusher, a 2nd in command Nog, an undercover journalist/section 31 operative Jake Sisko, whose sister displays powers related to the wormhole aliens, Alexander, son of Worf who finally becomes the kickass Klingon he was meant to be, Chief O’brien’s kid Soshi and Icheb as well as Naomi Wildman and Bellana and Tom Paris’s daughter. All children of successful ship’s and all recruite by Wesley because of his experience as a “traveler”.

I would watch the heck out of that show. That is a really cool idea and it actually makes Wesley useful while harkening back to established continuity.
Thanks for stopping by and posting.
