You can’t honestly expect me to answer that. I have to live and sleep with the lady.

Old enough for it to be possible. Not sure if it’s plausible.

I’m just a sucker for aliteration, I guess; she was **Counselor Cleavage**.  
[/QUOTE]

Damn you Robot Arm for stealing my post!  
I was in college when TNG was showing first-run episodes, and they happened to be broadcast on Fridays at 10pm, which was just as folks were getting ready to hit the bars. So my friends & I made up a drinking game to go along with the show, basically a variation on “Hi Bob!” Everybody picked a name out of a hat, and when that character appeared on screen, you took a sip. When the Enterprise or Ten-Foreward was shown, or Picard said “Engage” or “Make it so” or adjusted his shirt, everybody drank. But the crowning moment was always when Counselor Cleavage used her empathic abilities and said “I sense such pain!” (or something along those lines), everybody did a shot of tequila (or whatever we had) to numb the pain of Sirtis’ awful EEEEEE-MOHHTing.

My favorite was from first 2 episodes when the space jellyfish was hanging around waiting for its mate to be freed from the planet where its energy was harnessed to provide things like a living replicator. Deanna had some insight that was something along the lines of “I sense that something does not want us to transport to [somewhere].”

Sorry, didn’t realize that was an emotion.

Luckily or unluckily for her, “something wants to play with my boobies” isn’t an emotion either.

Would that be this? [http://youtube.com/watch?v=ibiyQFgCcYI](http://youtube.com/watch?v=ibiyQFgCcYI)

I was too young to appreciate her charms when the series first aired, but I did read the novel Imzadi as a teenager and of course she served as the model for Troi.

TOO FUNNY to see your name as the last poster the first time I even see the thread. How was she in bed, anyway?

Troi, schmoi. Everybody knows Dr. Crusher is where it’s at.

PICARD: I seem to have developed a problem in my pants, Beverley. Medical in nature, of course.

DR. CRUSHER: Shall I take care of it for you, captain?

PICARD: Make it so!

So hot.

[QUOTE=OpalCat]  
I never heard anyone refer to her that way. I mean sure, her non-uniform-leotard/catsuits were a source of amusement and discussion, but I never heard anyone give her a nickname.  
[/QUOTE]

The funniest thing was how much _better_ she looked once she started wearing a standard uniform.

Granted, it was a bit brighter blue than the other standard blue uniforms — I assume that the standard blue didn’t suit her — but she still looked better in it that in anything else she wore up to that point.

Yes, but they were never seen on screen at the same time. It’s like how the Olsen twins played one kid on Full House. Something about labor laws.

I remember a parody skit at a convention once. One of the running gags is that “Troi” would slap each male character in the face right after they met for the first time.
