    A lot of TNG episodes would have been shorter if she had Troi’s job.

    Picard: “These fishy-looking ambassadors arrived in hibernation.”
    Lwaxana: “They’re not ambassadors, they’re terrorists. They have a bomb.”
    Picard: “Thanks, L”

      It honestly would have made more sense if Deanna Troi was a member of the diplomatic service instead of being the ship’s counselor.

      It doesn’t make sense having the ship’s counselor do bridge duty when their time is best spent treating patients, but it does make sense having someone assist the captain by knowing the various treaties and international relations going on.

    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.

      The best cold intro is:

      “Counselor Deanna Troi, personal log, stardate 44805.3. My mother is on board.”
