Is Anyone Honestly Impressed By Troi's Overrated Ability?

DSN?

I'm sure DS9 was meant. IMO, that DS9 ep was Mother Troi's high point across both series.

No, I meant Deep Space Nine (DSN) as that's how the title was written on screen in the credits, not as Deep Space 9 (DS9).

She should have been the bartender. I thought Guinan was the absolute worst character on the show. She was the magic character that could solve any problem that anyone had ever.

Her abilities had more use when you couldn’t see the person’s face. When she could sense where people are and how alarmed they felt.

I don’t think it’s fair to attribute the writers lack of knowledge of psychology to Troi.

to be fair though, psychology is pretty hard to try and understand or can be.

It's called hubris, and whatever you think of it, it still took Troi finding the Viceroy for the heroes to have gotten the baddies. Credit where due.

Well hey, she had to do SOMETHING to make up for crashing the Saucer Section in ST:GEN

I thought they all threw her a thank you party for saving all their lives on Veridian III. The only thing she had to make up for was forcing them to think of yet more gift ideas for saving their lives yet again.

No real need to have a psrink constantly on the bridge in the first place.

Maybe they wanted the crew to think the ship was being run by lunatics.
