For example, he's been in Starfleet for 20 years and yet he always acts like he's only just started hanging around with human.


This always bugged me

What bugs me the most about that episode is how Riker is simply appointed at the prosecutor, as opposed to, say, an actual lawyer. Of course, Starfleet didn't get the concept of conflict of interest back in Kirk's day, and apparently they still haven't.

Didn't have any on hand, she'd only just set up shop. She said that. So rules allowed them to use senior officers for it. Now whether or not those are good rules is questionable, but the episode explained the situation.

Why does he want to learn about humans only? What about Bolians, Andorians, Tellarites, Vulcans, Trill, or any of the dozens of Federation races?

Throughout the series he does learn about plenty of species. But he's most interested in humans because he...

a) Was found by humans
b) Was made by a human
c) Was made in the image of a human
