Boimler exclaiming “RIKER” as he hopped on the saddle had me howling. Frakes is such a sport!

I saw somewhere that the actor improved that line which means he blurted it out with Riker standing right there which feels totally in line with the tone of the episode they were shooting. It's funny to me on so many levels.

Yep, they confirm it in Ready Room. Apparently Frakes' wife was dying from laughter watching the episode when that happened.

Frakes’ wife

For a moment in my head, I was wondering why you didn't just say Deanna.

[-] ClarkDoom@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

That honestly makes it’s so much better. I’d love to see a behind the scenes for this episode!

Definitely watch the Ready Room episode. They talk about a lot of this. I remember another interview where Tawnie Newsom, I think, talks about how Frakes, Quaid, and her just kinda took over the set because they were all nerding out, being silly, and improv-ing a bunch because that's what they do on LDS.
