Lwaxana’s back, y’all!

*    *    *

I think Lwaxana is the only person in the galaxy that can make Picard feel as uncomfortable as he does this episode. Even Q doesn’t faze him this much!

Patrick Stewart should just get it over with and star in a 1940s noir detective show. He’d be so good at it!

Ha! Lwaxana just asked the computer where Riker was, and Majel Barrett talked to herself!

An entire episode devoted to Lwaxana! Yay!

This was quite fun, and Lwaxana basically ran around making Picard, Riker, and her daughter Troi feel super uncomfortable thanks to the fact that she is undergoing "the phase", a time in a Betazoid woman’s life when her sex drive quadruples. She even sizes up The Boy (too young) and Worf (not human) as possible mates. Picard, being the consummate professional that he is, ducks her entirely, first by having Data crash their date and regaling them with his "wonderful" anecdotes (Data was so excited), then by literally hiding in a Dixon Hill holoprogram until she left the ship.

Having been rebuffed at every turn, Lwaxana saves the day by identifying two assassins who were posing as delegates to a conference she was going to, thereby saving the conference and the Enterprise’s reputation.

Nothing really happened in this episode, but it was fun, and I can’t wait for Lwaxana to come back :)
