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)

      The thing is… the Vulcan salute is palm out. He has palm in, thumb in. It caught me off guard which was why I felt the need to come post as I couldn’t find it anywhere online.

        Nope. His palm is definitely out. He just doesn’t have his thumb extended. Other than the thumb, it’s a completely normal Vulcan salute. Perhaps Frakes had a bit of trouble with it early on and just hadn’t got his thumb out properly yet?

          No. It is not. I’ve watched the scene a dozen times. His palm is in… facing him, and thumb is in. Even in the screenshot I posted his palm is in.
