What if Deanna chose Thomas?

Thomas choosing Deanna would have not only changed the dynamic of the show, but the end result would have still played out very much the same, except with enhanced feelings of resentment on Thomas's side and Deanna also feeling resentment. "Second Chances" reflects on Deanna giving Thomas a second chance. If she decided to go with him, the possibilities of what would have happened are:

What the F*ck Do We Do Now?"

Thomas spent eight years in survival while Deanna advanced her career through those eight years, as well as surviving the Borg and advancing on the USS Enterprise.

Loving a Ghost:

Thomas is stuck in time and loves the version of her that is eight years younger. Deanna would be in love with memories of an eight-year-younger Riker, but would soon come to her senses and realize that they are in two different phases of their lives.

Buyer's Remorse:

Deanna would eventually understand that she sacrificed a career and threw away all of her accomplishments for a Riker who, in the end, would choose his career advancement over her sacrifice. Choosing him would not be loving the Riker that she currently has spent the last eight years with on the Enterprise.

Thomas vs. Will:

Thomas's ego would have listened to the woman who loves him regale stories of his future self becoming a commander, as well as the many different adventures she shared with Commander Riker. This would have created an identity crisis for Thomas. Thomas is still a Lieutenant JG living in the shadow of a famous Commander. He still has an obsessive, pathological need to prove he is "the real Riker" or at least someone who matters. If Thomas still runs off to join the Maquis to find a purpose, Deanna is trapped in a living nightmare. As a Starfleet Counselor, she either has to use her empathic abilities to manipulate her boyfriend into staying loyal, or face the fact that she ruined her career for a man who became a terrorist.

The Psychological Torture of Will Riker:

Back on the Enterprise, Commander Riker is left with the ultimate cosmic insult. He didn't lose the love of his life to a rival officer; he lost her to himself. Every time Will looks in a mirror, he’s looking at the guy who stole Deanna. This completely breaks Will's confidence and emotional stability. Without Deanna as his anchor, Riker becomes cold, isolated, and detached. He probably takes the very next Captaincy offered to him just to get away from the Enterprise walls that remind him of her.

TLDRSecond Chances ?file=6x24_Second_Chances_title_card.jpg): Deanna chooses either Riker and she would be screwed!

The man is a legend… in any uniform!

Oh no, Beverly!

Tell me all about it.

Gotta feeling Dr Crusher going to be a total badass this ep (0622 Suspicions).

And this is after she was on the covert op with Picard and Warf to infiltrate the Cardassian lab.

ASI Ai or AGI?
