Bazza Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Re: Riker. The Enterprise was the flagship, so it makes sense to be the next guy in charge. When the position of captain is vacant, Riker must have thought that his experience with the ship & crew would stand him in good stead for the promotion. Also he must have felt like Picard as a brother. I recall an episode where Riker took it upon himself to investigate the supposed murder of Picard. That is my thoughts.

Of course in a real service they move people around a bit to avoid officers ending up more loyal to their commander than they are to the service.
