No Insignia
I’m not anti-Troi episodes, I swear. But this is awful for just too many reasons. Watching this episode is one of the few times I heard myself think a comment my mother would say about all of Trek: How could they say such nonsense without laughing?
Not only is the plot outrageously convoluted and bad, I disagree with making Lwaxana Troi anything other than a comic-relief character this far in the game. Also: glaring plot hole: no one knows about her tragedy. Fine, I guess I could accept a situation where she’s broken off with all old friends and never mentioned it to her new ones. But if Mr. Homm is able to give her a photo of her dead daughter at the end, how is it that he’s unable to recollect any bad news from her past when asked? It makes no sense.
