The Trial of William T. Riker: Awesome or Overrated?

Nerd court is a new web show where geeks battle over issues such as “Batman or Superman?” or, as in the episode featured below, “Is William Riker the coolest Star Trek: TNG character ever?” Be sure to watch this one until Jonathan Frakes (Riker) himself is called as a witness to defend the character’s honor. The man even performs the “Riker Maneuver” as he sits down (at 6:26.)

So, dear Star Trek: TNG fans, what do you think? From your own perspective, is William T. Riker an awesome character, or is he overrated? Let us know in the comments!
