the bizarrely shoehorned-in fictional culture of having a “number one” (literally only Picard used that nickname for Riker back in the day)

Number One was “the first character Gene wrote into the script” of The Cage (the pilot episode of the original series), according to Majel Barrett Roddenberry.

There are also many other characters called Number One in Star Trek and elsewhere.

According to some sources, calling the second-in-command/executive/first officer “number one” might have historically been a thing in the British Navy, but i don’t see a reliable source for that after a minute of searching so I’m not sure.

ok, i added you as a mod, although the existing mod @WandererLagomorph799 is not entirely inactive - they posted 7 days ago.

now you get to decide about the offtopicness of this landlord thread (posted by the same OP as this thread) which is currently the most active thread here :)

(it has been getting many reports for being offtopic, which i’ve ignored because there was a pretty active discussion by the time i saw the first report.)
