antidote101, in Best character in the entire franchise (OC)

When I was a kid I hated her episodes, as an adult, I love them.

sirblastalot, in Best character in the entire franchise (OC)

She’s a sex pest though, worse than Barclay.

antidote101, (edited )

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.

lolcatnip,

In other words she knows exactly how much she can violate people’s boundaries before they’ll be uncomfortable enough to do something about it.

TheGrandNagus, (edited )

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.

sirblastalot,

Love Majel Barret, hate Lwaxana.

Also, did we have this same conversation a couple weeks ago on telegram?

TheGrandNagus,

Nah I don’t have telegram, must’ve been somebody else I’m afraid :)

LarkinDePark,

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.

I feel like most people would agree she’s a terrible person. Makes for a great character in a tv show though because she shakes things up.

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.

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.

ZoopZeZoop,

I hope you fair well on your trauma recovery journey.

Much appreciated, friendly random internet person 🤝

Telodzrum,

The episode where she and Odo are trapped on the elevator is amazing.

kaitco,

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

Corgana, (edited )
@Corgana@startrek.website avatar

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.

Knitwear, in Best character in the entire franchise (OC)

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

kaitco,

I’d like to see this mug, please.

Knitwear, (edited )

Why am I like this

imgur.com/a/avF7mLc

I guess they just seem like two Queens who stand outside it all and thus see things more clearly idk

kaitco,

That’s the most brilliant thing I’ve seen all day!

Granted, it’s only 9:15 here, but still!!

Karjapuskuri,

It’s a glorious mug

Corgana, (edited )
@Corgana@startrek.website avatar

Damnit Jean-Luc, show us the damn mug!

EDIT: they did 😄

Tolookah, in Best character in the entire franchise (OC)

She can be both. Sometimes the best character is the worst.

Corgana, (edited )
@Corgana@startrek.website avatar

I can see you still have a long way to go. It’s ok, I was like you once.

Tolookah,

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.

RizzRustbolt,

Like the Badmirals.

They’re 39, 35, and 28 years old.

With every “No,” you kill your children just a little bit…

@Ep1cFac3pa1m@lemmy.world avatar

I mean, saying “yes” to some of their ideas will kill them a lot

Trainguyrom,

Don’t worry I was already told I’m the meanest daddy in the world for telling my kid no to eating birthday cake for breakfast

They’re just hoping their dead hopes and dreams enter Sto’Vo’Kor.

School holidays here is Australia; can relate all too well!

I was not ready for that

antidote101, in Every time I'm trying to decide what new show I should check out

My unpopular opinion is that most of DS9 is poorly written, and often doesn’t even have a B story.

bionicjoey, in Another sick Barclay fantasy

“None of the animals would pet me”

They’re comin’ for you, Firefly/Serenity 🥹😭
