In S1E14, at the beginning Riker is walking along side Yarr and Worf who are departing to play a game when Riker says “The pride of the Enterprise goes with you!” and the. Gives a reverse 🖖 hand signal. Anyone know what it means?
(Tried attaching a photo but it won’t let me for some reason)
Are we going with no cop-out explanations? (i.e. The Enterprise doesn’t have seatbelts because it wouldn’t make for good TV without people flying across the bridge when they get hit.) If so I don’t know.
I think the IRL explanation is that someone was trying to start that hand gesture as a thing related to the Vulcan salute but having to to do with the Federation, Starfleet, or the Enterprise specifically, and it didn’t become a thing.
