edit: lmao how did I mispell her name nobody look pls
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
Damnit Jean-Luc, show us the damn mug!
EDIT: they did 😄
I’d like to see this mug, please.
Why am I like this
I guess they just seem like two Queens who stand outside it all and thus see things more clearly idk
It’s a glorious mug
That’s the most brilliant thing I’ve seen all day!
Granted, it’s only 9:15 here, but still!!
She’s a sex pest though, worse than Barclay.
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.
Her demeaning of her daughter too, “little one”, grates. She’s a narcissist. Reminds me of someone in real life and I’ll never be able to get past it.
Love Majel Barret, hate Lwaxana.
Also, did we have this same conversation a couple weeks ago on telegram?
Nah I don’t have telegram, must’ve been somebody else I’m afraid :)
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.
She can be both. Sometimes the best character is the worst.
I can see you still have a long way to go. It’s ok, I was like you once.
I dunno, I can like a character and think they’re the worst. It’s likely that I like them because they’re the worst.
Like the Badmirals.
Lwaxana is a treat every single time she’s on screen. And sometimes when she isn’t.
The best cold intro is:
“Counselor Deanna Troi, personal log, stardate 44805.3. My mother is on board.”
Empty corridor with Picard peeking around the corner
We just watched that one last night after a week and a half of dealing with heavy shit that still isn’t done yet. Not really the episode I would have chosen to dip the toes back in after trauma, but that’s what was up next. Still a great ep.
I hope you fair well on your trauma recovery journey.
Much appreciated, friendly random internet person 🤝
The episode where she and Odo are trapped on the elevator is amazing.
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”.
I don’t love most Lwaxana episodes, but that one and Half a Life are wonderful.
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.
When I was a kid I hated her episodes, as an adult, I love them.
