Troi’s accent might have a basis in reality after all. Either that or this Mexican physicist decided to imitate a certain ship’s counselor.
I have now posted to this thread.
I sense…pointlessness.
A pshrink/meddling social worker is a pshrink/meddling social worker, period. I despise such sanctimonious do-gooders on general principle. And FTR, I have a lot more respect for someone able to deduce the reasons behind people’s behavior from their own training, experience, and intelligence than from supposedly hereditary psychic power, however diluted it may be.
That said, I was always in awe of her spectacular rack and was disappointed when they finally covered it up. 
FWIW, she now uses the same accent when playing the role of MOSSAD chief on NCIS. (I originally thought she was in fact Israeli; imagine my shock when I heard her real voice on some talk show.)
I also seriously doubt the mental health of 24th century humanity when it actually requires such pshrinks/meddling social workers to keep a starship functioning properly. Weren’t these people subjected to mandatory psychological screening before being accepted for such duty? :dubious:
Oh, yeah!
I’m partial to **these two, **myself:
And this one:
Not to mention this one:
:o
Like Mother, Like Daughter ! Deanna Troi is a slut. I don’t know numbers but I bet that she’s privately “counseled” alot of the male crew. And she’s always ready to do it with visiting males from every planet they pass by. And hey, if she can handle Worf, then u know that she’s had some practice ! if u know what I mean. She is a bit smug too. Think she luvs the counseler position because shes a busy body. Always in everyone else’s business. luvs giving here opinion too. Sneeky about getting more info out of u by asking u… “and what do u think ?” then tells u what she thinks. Usually, ur wrong ! I Think the only reason the guys put up with her is because she’s an easy F. In the 25th Century or whatever one it is, I bet she’s got some wild toys ! I think the other women there put up her cuz she tells them which guys are horny and play. Captain P., he plays around mostly with Bev. and an occasional Alien. But I’m sure Deanna has at least blown him if anything. Data, he’s just another toy for her… keeps going and going and going.
Honestly, I’ve often wondered what her personality on TV would have evolved as if it wasn’t for that horrible other-worldly character constraint.
I bet she’s actually a very good actress & I hope she gets to work work in some productions which are so successful that she gets to prove it to the world.
Is there any evidence whatsoever for Troi sleeping with anyone other than Riker or Worf? Or, you know, for even having any inclination to? Obviously there were plenty of men who wanted to sleep with her, but being desired doesn’t make someone a slut.
Well, she WAS the Goddess of Love in Broccoli’s holodeck program.
I mean, maybe he didn’t just make that up, ya know? 
She also slept with that other empath dude whom she quickly dumped when she found out he used his psychic talents to get ahead (so to speak) … as though she hadn’t done the same thing herself.
What’s the inside Star Trek story of how the character of Guinan developed?
She starts out as just some stunt casting for Whoopi Goldberg, but by the end she has completely kneecaped Troi. Did Marina Sirtis not realize or care what was being done to her character? If I were Sirtis’ agent, I’d be pretty pissed that good character-building scenes were consistently going to a guest star with effectively the same role as my client.
That was in an episode where they’re negotiating the rights to a wormhole. The empath was named Debonani Rahl.
Deanna DID sleep around in one episode where an empath treaty negotiator tricked her into receiving all his negative emotions. But, she was clearly not herself.

You’re saying there was more than one such episode? :dubious:
In the one I’m thinking of, she’s confused because she doesn’t “sense much” from the dude … it’s almost like he’s “blank.” She tells him this while they’re in bed together, naked. In every other respect, she hasn’t changed a bit, certainly not that I recall.
I was disappointing at how she reacts to that. Yes, in our world, making kinky holodeck characters would end up with a call to HR’s office. But she comes from a planet where everyone’s nude at a wedding, and everyone’s mind is open to everyone else’s. She should just smirk and go, “Oh, you, Barclay. We’ll talk about this later.”
She’s been ruined by living among sickeningly PC and incessantly pontificating humans. :mad:
Actually, in our world, I’m not sure something like that would end with a call to HR’s office, as long as you weren’t making your own underlings the objects of your lust (and I’m reasonably sure that Troi is above Barclay in the chain of command, and on a different branch, so that wouldn’t be an issue).
The only decent thing she wore on the show before Ronnie Cox made her put on a damn uniform was in the pilot, when she wore a damn uniform. Granted, it was the quickly abandoned skirt uniform, but it looked a lot better than most of the crap she wore afterwards.
