Deanna Troi's costuming

Not open for further replies.
Troi should have been in the uniform from the beginning.

Skin of Evil gives a little hint that if Tasha had stayed on the show they might have paired her up with Worf. That would have been interesting. In 1987 I think the writers didn't know what to do with an aggressive female. But they would have figured it out.

Her relationship with Picard was interesting as well, not romantic but a sort of father-daughter dynamic. Tasha kind of idolized Picard, for her he embodied everything good and right about Starfleet.
 
Yes, TNG was nearing the end of its first season, and yes, she hadn't had much development, but then again neither had the likes of Troi or Crusher, and what TV series gets everything right and hits all its marks in the first year?

M*A*S*H.

Not at all. The first two seasons of MASH had mediocre ratings and only a few episodes rose above the level of practical jokes and womanizing at the front. They didn't really hit their stride until season 3. Story is that one of the network executive's wife asked him to keep the show.

And it's kind of sad, most TV shows now don't get three seasons to get it right before they get canceled. There's probably many potentially great shows that don't get a long enough chance.

Most shows period, unless you go back to the near beginning of tv where their wasn't enough new production to cover a network, don't get a full season. This isn't a new concept. It dates back earlier then TOS does. Generally 2/3 to 3/4 of shows don't make a second year.
 
This was a pretty old thread to bring back to life. I don't think it needed a transfusion of Khan's blood.

Closed.
