The_Picard_Maneuver, in Best character in the entire franchise (OC)
@The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website avatar

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’s a sex pest though, worse than Barclay.

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.

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

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.

Donnywholovedbowling,

I was just telling my brother about that episode! Don’t remember it passing the 1hr mark but it’s been a month or so since I’ve seen it, memory’s not the same since covid…

DoYouNot, in Password security is important

What do you call a masturbating cow?

Donnywholovedbowling,

If I even ventured a guess it would be embarrassing

Donnywholovedbowling,

Oh no it’s beef stroganoff! Ha!

In the Star Trek universe, you announce your password to the room every time you use it.

Donnywholovedbowling,

Yeah but with your access code that’s voice authenticated. Foolproof, unless there were androids like Data, or any robots that could copy voice signatures… That would be a problem!

God forbid someone invented some kind of audio recording device… Captain’s log, stardate 43291…

HobbitFoot,

Yep. My voice is my passport.

Unfortunately, by season four Discovery was just going with “Spaceship”.

Okay, what am I missing? I’ve been looking at this for several minutes and feel like I’m having a stroke.

clay_pidgin,

I’m pretty sure these are exemplars of episode naming schemes.

What do you expect the all-powerful amphibian to do with everyone’s clothes?

Just leave them on??!

It’s too late. I’ve seen everything.

inappropriatecontent,

It’s just an A.I. learning how to name Star Trek episodes.

Coming soon: A sequel called “Star Trek: Synths” about a ship of androids with one human–with a cast that is all Deepfakes except one human–written and produced by software and one human.

I’ve only seen LD, TOS, TNG, DS9, and VOY. But this all seems accurate.

They really needed to do something about that gorilla problem at the warehouse. Gone too soon.

Once is an accident, twice is a pattern, three times is just straight negligence from management!
