Riker doesn't have to be told [[TalkToTheFist what to do next]] to maintain his authority. Also counts as DefeatEqualsFriendship as Klag treats him with respect after this, rather than hold a grudge.

* AlienLunch: Before his transfer, Riker indulges in Klingon cuisine, which includes serpent worms called ''gagh''. He seems to actually enjoy it, though Pulaski and Picard both gag at the stuff. Oddly, he's the only one to mispronounce ''gagh'' to rhyme with "bog" rather than "Bach." Later on, in the Klingon mess hall, he discovers that Klingons actually eat their ''gagh'' while it's still alive. Despite initial hesitation, he eventually takes the plunge.

* MyFistForgivesYou: InvokedTrope by Riker. When Captain Kargan returns to his ship, he sulkily orders Riker to go to his station on the bridge. Riker refuses to move, so Kargan backhands him across the bridge and has him thrown off the ship, enabling Kargen to salvage some respect out of the situation.
