    I had a mug custom made with her on it so I’m not fit to judge.

    Does it help that I had Guinan put on other side? idk

      It’s worse because she’s telepathic - she knows the advances are unwanted and makes people uncomfortable, and yet she does it anyway.

      On top of that, she’s a very important Federation ambassador. People might feel pressured into keeping her happy.

      I have a feeling that if she were of a different sex people would view her relentless unwanted sexual advances quite differently.

      But I guess “man trying to avoid sexual advances of horny older woman” was seen as being a hilarious role reversal on 90s TV.

      She did have some amazing scenes though. She can certainly act when she gets a serious scene as opposed to a sex pest scene.

      Partially negated by her telepathy. Theoretically she can ignore social boundaries in favour of going by someone’s actual individual boundaries and hidden feelings/comfort levels.

    On my very first watch of TNG, I was so annoyed the first couple of times I saw Lwaxana or Q dominate an episode, but by the end of the series I was cheering every time they showed up!

      The Q farewell of Piccard Season 2 is the only redeeming quality of that entire season.

      The best cold intro is:

      “Counselor Deanna Troi, personal log, stardate 44805.3. My mother is on board.”

        I just watched that one for the first time the other day and it completely changed my mind on her. Just fantastic.

        Yesss, it’s such a shame that the other Odo-Lwaxana episode (the one where she gets married) is the B-plot of “The Muse”.

    The TNG episode featuring Kristen Dunst where Lwaxana falls into a coma, really gave a lot of color to that character.

      Yes, “Dark Page”. A top five TNG episode for me.
