For the record, the Lwaxana episodes are amongst my favorite of TNG. The exasperation she manages to inflict on Picard is fucking delightful. The one thing that he has no idea how to deal with. Delightful.

All bow their heads for the glorious Lwaxana Troi, Daughter of the Fifth House, Holder of the Sacred Chalice of Riix, Heir to the Holy Rings of Betazed.

    Lwaxana at first seems like a shallow character, and the. You find out about Kestra and suddenly it hits hard how her carefree character is in a way a coping mechanism for significant trauma, and you never look at her the same way again. I love the writers of the show for that.

      I love Lwaxana and Odo’s episode in DS9 where they get stuck in the turbolift.

        Their friendship is brilliant! I kove a good odd couple storyline and those two are worlds apart in everything about them, but they just feel like proper friends by the end.
