But is the man wrong? (startrek.website)

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.

Lwaxana episodes are the best. Well, next to Q episodes.

Maybe I just like it when characters make captain Picard uncomfortable.

(Edit: also holodeck episodes. You know what? All of the episodes are the best.)

Except for the parma rosa ghost sex episode.

[–] swab148@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago

Especially the ghost sex episode

Also the clip show episode that made no sense.

Literally have Lwaxana paused on my screen right now and I still thought of Riker.

[–] Sharpiemarker@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yep, Riker was my first guess too lol.

Excuse me, squeaking? Trombones are not a woodwind instrument.

[–] theforkofdamocles@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is the squeaking his trombone playing?

Odo turns into liquid while slipping away

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No Odo here, just an innocent bush, minding its own business.

Didn't realise the Simpsons had gotten so meta. Yeesh.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah that was a bit painful...

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It was a Halloween episode parody of Westworld. Really good one, too! Notices the fans he throws in the hedge have five fingers on each hand - that's because they're "real" humans who had their skin painted yellow to look like a Simpsons character.

Lwaxana sexually harassing Picard has always made me uncomfortable.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

But it's hilarious when it's a woman doing it to a man, didn't you know?

Yes, he's wrong. You have to give birth to breed.
