Star Trek: The next generation
Commander William t. Riker &
Counselor Deanna Troi
"Imzadi"
Imzadi. A Betazed word meaning beloved. It is the word with which both Will and Deanna used to describe their relationship. It is also the title of Peter David's best loved Star Trek novel which chronicles the love story of the young brash Will Riker and the sweet, gentle student Deanna Troi. It was a romance that ended badly. Then many years later Will and Deanna found themselves serving together on the starship Enterprise. For the next seven years the bond they shared was strengthened by friendship and respect. Each of them had romances with others, her's with Worf, his with any number of space babes. But they never lost sight of each other or lost the affection that bound them together. It was during the Ba'ku mission that they rediscovered their youthful passion for each other. Gentle teasing and flirtation lead to a renewal of their love. We can only hope that the next film with continue this sweet romance.
