      Agreed, usually Risa is a pleasant collection of human memes however I find this example to be repugnant.

    Having to work really hard to separate my feelings about Guinan from my feelings about Whoopi lately. But even then, Troi, Crusher, Guinan.

        Someone’s trying to get home quickly.

        Remember Ardra, the lady on TNG that pretended to be the actual devil to claim a planet by contract? “I could give you a night that would light fire in your dreams until you die,” she offered Picard. Q could actually do that. Forget just shapeshifting into Troi, or dressing up as a prim and proper Englishwoman. Mere cosplay chicanery. Q could give you impossible experiences. Becoming the concept of orgasm. Geometrically impossible positions. Awareness of both bodies at once. The feeling of becoming a nebula and releasing all tension as you dissolve into the universe. Experiences beyond understanding that would shred your pitiful psyche, and you’d say thank you.

        You are without honor!

        Of course I am. I’m on the internet.

          I'll have what she's having

    I hear you can probably still get with crusher if she’s a ghost. She’s into that.

    So kill Crusher. Bang Guinan, and marry everyone’s favorite empath.

      Are you sure you want a partner who can read your every thought? Also, Guinans got wisdom to doll out for the rest of your life, which will be far shorter than hers, barring unforseen circumstances.

        I don’t, which is why half betazoid is a nice happy medium. Her mom on the other hand, would definitely not fall into the marry category for me.

          Aw man I gotta turn in my Star Trek fan card, I forgot she was half betazoid. I haven’t been able to watch TNG since they moved it from Netflix to Paramount+.

        • She’s described as an empath rather than a telepath but she does display telepathic abilities. I think she’s just a weak telepath by betazoid standards and that’s why they highlight her abilities as an empath. In Encounter at Farpoint Troi is able to communicate mind to mind with Riker suggesting that with some time and emotional connection at will or continuous mind reading is a possibility for her.

    In that order. Wouldn’t want to spend a lifetime next to a mind reader. Guinan would be a wise, nurturing partner. Most importantly, Guinan can summon spirits and we all know who’d get a kick out of that.
