When Lwaxana Troi comes aboard in the midst of Betazoid heat, we’re “treated” to another strangely plotless episode that happens to have a few moments of charm: Mr. Hom holding his hand to his eyes as sign language for Geordi, Data’s “rescue” of Picard from the awkward dinner. Of course, she saves the conference in the end with her spotty and subjective telepathic powers, too.
Yet nothing is really resolved or changed at the end of this episode; Troi leaves with the same problem as when she arrived, with no new understanding of it or possible solution. Like the viewers, the characters must merely endure to the end.
My grade: D.
