Commander Riker of 'Star Trek': Awesome or overrated?

Nerd Court is in session.

The People Vs. Number One: Is William T. Riker awesome or overrated?

This episode takes the Star Trek: Next Generation character to court.

Next Generation fan Tina Huang argues that Riker was just put on board The Enterprise by Captain Picard as eye candy -- to be the face of the bridge. Commander Holly loves Riker and explains that The Enterprise could not run as smoothly without Riker.

Judge Malcolm Barrett says of Riker, "He's Mr. Mom. He's like the Michael Keaton of space."

And the surprise witness is none other than Jonathan Frakes, Commander Riker.

How does the case turn out? Just watch.
