Why do you guys think Argyle disappeared? It's absolutely because Riker stole his beard and Argyle couldn't handle how much better it looked on Bill.

I think it was an unseen tuvix incident

The actual behind-the-scenes reason is much funnier.

The story goes that Chief Engineer Argyle’s actor Biff Yeager was eager for a full time role on the show. It had been hinted at that he could become part of the main cast if fan response was positive. Yeager was apparently a bit too zealous asking friends and family to write in to the studio. They received a wave of support for the character before an episode featuring Argyle had ever aired, and his role was subsequently quietly written off of the show.

Interesting.... and.. Oof. Really shot himself in the foot there. Thanks for telling the sordid tale!

I like how they wanted a Scottish engineer so they named him Argyle like the socks

Ikr? It's a daily joy to get one awesome post after the other. There were days, where i thought "ok, this is the peak, it can't get better than this" only to be proven wrong the next day. Again and again.

This is the only community I’ve seen that has far surpassed the Reddit equivalent. There was never this much brilliance in r/risa.

Even glorious-er! But at a price... It comes with a belly

Such is life, even in the 24th century

Hey, Scotty got a belly and he only got more glorious!
