7. Pizza Daddy - Nepenthe

Is there anything more attractive than a bearded man who cooks for you? While there may be several different answers to that question, when it comes to William T. Riker, the wild man of the woods with a pizza oven was a good look.

Despite the tragedy that brought them to Nepenthe, the Rikers settled to make the best of it in their hipster cabin. The greenery was stunning while the Kzinti could be troublesome, though the former first officer never skipped on making his own dough.

When Picard and Soji came to stay, fleeing from the Zhat Vash, they were welcomed with open arms. It was a quite literal bear hug. Somehow, seven seasons and four films had failed to truly impress the height difference between Will and Jean-Luc. That flowery embrace between the men was a warm reminder that no matter the time apart, Riker was there to make everything ok again.
