Star Trek: Picard season 3 allowed Captain William Riker to help save the galaxy one more time and set up his long-awaited promotion to Admiral.
William T. Riker has been a starship Captain since his promotion in Star Trek: Nemesis, but Star Trek: Picard season 3 perfectly set up his promotion to Admiral. The Starfleet officer Jean-Luc Picard once called "the finest officer with whom [he had] ever served," William Riker has been an important presence in the Trek franchise since his introduction in Star Trek: The Next Generation. Despite the accolades he's received, Riker has been slow to climb the ranks.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Though he clearly has the credentials necessary to be an Admiral, Riker has had other priorities over the years. When Jean-Luc visits him on Nepenthe in Star Trek: Picard season 1, Riker has taken a break from Starfleet to spend time with his family after the death of his son. Riker and his wife, Deanna Troi , both experienced tremendous grief over their son's death, and this put a strain on their marriage.
Now that he has made a triumphant return to his Starfleet duties, it seems fitting that Riker would get a promotion to Admiral. He got to go on one last galaxy-saving romp and mended his marriage along the way. While being an Admiral may not involve many dangerous missions, Riker would still get to be a part of the action while also having time to spend with his family. At the end of Star Trek: Picard season 3, he is a captain without a ship.
Riker Could Be Star Trek: Legacy’s Admiral Every good Star Trek show needs a trustworthy Admiral, and there is no one better to play that role in Star Trek: Legacy than William T. Riker. Not only is he a familiar face for audiences, but he's also familiar to Captain Seven of Nine , Commander Raffi Musiker , and many of the crew of the newly-christened Enterprise-G. Will would be a welcome face to lead the next generation of Starfleet greats into the future.
As the former captain of the Titan, Riker is familiar with the new Enterprise and its capabilities, and Will would be a trustworthy face to hand Seven her orders. While there are other Admirals who could serve in this position, including Jean-Luc Picard himself, Riker seems like the most obvious choice, and it's a role Jonathan Frakes himself would like to take on in Star Trek: Legacy.
