Ian

Your descriptions always make me more excited to watch 🖖 happy next Jen Sunday indeed 🔥

Banes

I was hoping you'd like this one - figured the TNG this week would be a guaranteed winner for ya! Not every Lwaxana episode is great, but I always like seeing her!

William Rosmer

the later in the franchise they are the more i tend to like them. they fleshed her out much more as time went on in the series

Noremac

She reminds me of Pepe Le Pew.

William Rosmer

oooh can't wait for 2 ds9s next week. my favorite s1 episode is finally here!

Ron

Despite my mixed feelings about Lwaxana, I genuinely enjoyed this episode. It reveals a less manipulative side to her, and it provided a compelling reason to explore Odo's backstory and origins.

Summer

Great episode, wish Jake and Nog were there but great episode I think the pup probe came from the Celestial Temple

Julian San

The turbo lift scene is one of the sweetest moments of the show.

Cinedazed

The Sisko/Odo scene reminds me that DS9 is probably the Starfleet crew most in need of having an HR rep to complain to.

Ian

Like you Jen I love lwaxana she brings a fun glow to every episode she's in and yes she has a truly caring heart . I'm just always amused by her , just imagine if she got a crush and pursued Q that would be hilarious 😂 . I'd have liked if lwaxana had bumped into O'Brien in this one as she knows him that would have been amusing. But she was quite wonderful in this one and her moments with odo were fantastic. Special mention to siskos amusement at odo 🙂 just go for it buddy the commander has spoken 😀 . Sweet episode hope we see lwaxana again on DS9 no spoilers!

Thus concludes one of the great rivalries of DS9: Chief O'Brien vs The Station

Definitely amongst my favourites of the Season. I tend to love a lot of the light-hearted episodes, and i love almost every episode (including TNG) with Lwaxana.

TC Green

Some people don’t like Lwaxana but personally I love her and any episode with her in it.

Kristin

I love Lwaxana but I particularly love this episode because it spotlights her decent side.

William Rosmer

I think that pairing happens in a novel

Ian

Interesting 🤔

Fanchman

It's called Q-in-Law

Ian

Cool thanks I shall have a look for it cheers 👍

By far Lwaxana Troi’s least-annoying appearance in Trek.

RSK1995

The episode is very focused on caring symbology. O’Brian taking care of the computer puppy like a father to a baby needing attention, Julian taking care of a group like a young person taking care of the elderly and Lwaxana as mother figure taking care of Odo who was grown in a lab a symbolism of an orphanage where he was treated like a thing and receiving love and care for the first time as an adult and breaking through his sense of unworthiness. The title "The Forsaken" is so appropriate since all these people: The computer puppy, the ambassadors and Odo feel abandoned Side note, Lwaxana always had a thing towards the underdog the way she helped Alexander in TNG and now Odo. Another person would have felt discomfort at Odo turning into liquid she didn’t, actually she put him on her lap like a mother would put a baby to sleep. Maybe my favorite episode of S1 thank you for reacting to it!

Kristin

nice recap!!

Jeremiah

How it warmed my heart to hear you say you love the DS9 theme!! I knew you’d fall in love with it. It’s perfect for the show. 🥲

Mastervodo

Computer Puppy! Deep Space Nine Tamagotchi.

Patrick

I love Lwaxana. She's got heart.

scott osborne

Odo and Lwaxana going from annoyance to a new found and fond friendship by the end of episode

Desmond

Technobabble can be a problem in season 1, but it's much, much less of a thing in future seasons. Much more character driven than plot driven.
