Earl Grey 79: Thank You Captain Jellico

Troi.

The introduction of a counselor to the bridge of U.S.S.
Enterprise, NCC-1701-D was seen as a product of the
therapy-happy 1980s. The character of Deanna Troi went through
many changes during her seven seasons on television and four
feature films - from wearing a blue skant in "Encounter at
Farpoint" to a wedding dress inStar Trek: Nemesis. Troi's role as
a bridge officer often fluctuated from merely stating the obvious
to making a significant contribution to the conflict du
jour. Phillip, Darren, and Daniel discuss the evolution of the
character from an accented, "exotic" empath to an in-charge
uniform-wearing commander. They discuss her relationships with
her Imzadi Commander William T. Riker, her mother
Lwaxana, her captain and patient Jean-Luc Picard, and her brief
boyfriend, Worf. The trio also struggles with why the writers
ignored and "victimized" Troi on far too many occasions. So
replicate your favorite chocolate concoction, avoid anything
called "tequila," and join Earl Grey for a character
profile of Counselor Deanna Troi.
