   Okay, polarizing opinion, I adore Lwaxana Troi. She's generally treated as an annoyance, by basically everyone, but she's probably not only one of the most well-rounded individuals in the Federation, she's also incredibly powerful. But my favorite thing is how Picard reacts to her.

   This man, who has dealt with Klingon Terf Wars, Romulan Spies, Anomalies of every kind, heck, he was even Borg for awhile, somehow completely falls apart around this woman. With everyone else he exudes quiet authority and dignity, you just kind of automatically respect his presence. Lwaxana Troi doesn't give a shit, she knows her own worth and power, she's more involved in living than work, she sees people as they are, and not who they are pretending to be. If she was evil, she'd be the greatest villain Trek has ever known, but she has better things to do, ruffling the feathers of powerful men, and a bit of hedonism is much more interesting. I want to be her when I grow up.

     @RickiTarr I think she's great, but I can see how others can view her as a bit much, especially when she's going through the Betazoid version of menopause, chasing men around constantly, getting married to someone else every other episode, and the constant chatter! What bothered me was how Picard used a bewildered Data as a buffer. Honestly once she got over that she was a lot better. She was great with Alexander, and great on DS9. So is she a treasure or an annoyance? Yes.

     @RickiTarr @Meowthias

     I'm so sorry for this aside, and i absolutely mean no disrespect, as I hope you'll see here, but I'm sure you meant “Klingon *turf* and not “Terf" Wars, but I can't help honestly CHEERING at the imagery of Klingons going to battle against TERFs ...BECAUSE.

     So thank you for that. :)

     @Meowthias I think so, he just protests too much.
