was she a good counsellor?
>>219061351She was terrible. Half the time someone on the ship would be possessed by something, or some alien would be doing something nefarious and her (fake) betazoid abilities never picked up on it even though they apparently work over hundreds of thousands of miles. She was a cold reading grifter using the Enterprise as her ride to the alien cock carousel plain and simple.
>>219061351>reg i know youre having a lot of trouble fitting in and have developed and attraction to me>i will wear my boobiest dress and force you to discuss this with me directly>surely this will have no effect on your mental health issues
>>219061351Yes.>>The Net is filled with nude pictures of me...Boys need something nice to look at when we're not blowing up spaceships
>>219061501stop bullying her
>>219061993You're the one bullying her, you're assuming she's a victim. You aren't the victim; she is.
>>219062091>you're assuming she's a victim>she is
>>219061501we're talking about her counseling, not her betazoid abilities. keep up.
>>219061839i always liked the hairstyle she calls betazoid hair. a lot of hot women wore it that way in the late 80s and early 90s. she always also looked like her skin wasnt at full on rachel ziegler back hair levels but that she may have had just enough peach fuzz for you to feel that slight little tingle when you rub against it. i'm a fucking diamond right now just thinking about it
I'm trying to wrap my head around this. can this be true? most of the women I've known look like a wreck past age 25
>>219062752One and the same
One of the few times we see her counseling in practice is when she tries to get Worf and Alexander to make a behavioral contract and her mom completely rips it to pieces like the pop child psych drivel it is.
>>219062895a 37 year old in 1992 is much healthier and had a better diet than a 37 year old in in 2026.
>>219063069well also she's british so she wasn't eating slop filled with preservative her whole life
>>219063151>sirtisprobably she didn't have anglo genesthat can help a lot
>>219061351yes
>>219063151she looks med in the show and on her wiki shes english culturally her parents are greek. but yeah your point is true she wasnt eating american "foods"
>>219061351I appreciate that TNG tried to make her like, a functioning character while very obviously also being sex-appeal, but it's pretty obvious that the writers didn't know or care what the word "empath" means because at no point does she ever demonstrate an actual ability to engage with or read the actual, real emotions or mental state of people in any way and at best is only ever there to offer basic surface-level platitudes like a bad therapist. I don't think at any point she actually gave any serious "counselling" to anyone, and certainly someone like Picard was far mor intuitive and capable of reading into the situation with an enemy or whatever that he would never need someone as one-note as Troi was.
>>219063024What's wrong with that? Worf only has a few options to get the kid to do what he's supposed to: ask him nicely, yell at him, beat him, make a bargain. If Alex refuses, then Worf would be a bad parent letting the child step on him. I'm sure you'd say he's a bad parent beating the kid even though plenty of kids will push the limit until they need to be beaten to change their ways. So it's left to making it rewarding for Alex to do as he's told which is a contract.
>>219063337why?
>>219063493It’s explained in the fucking show doofus. When her mom tears it apart
>>219061351this is the star trek equivalent of a girl inviting you to her house, you show up, and she's wearing this outfit?
>>219061351She is dead weight and should be jettisoned into the nearest quasar asap.
>>219066072jettison her onto my dick instead
>>219065981Women don’t dress like that when they want to fuck. Cuz they don’t understand men. If she wanna fuck she’ll be wearing something impractically elaborate and not have a strand of hair out of place
>>219063429Troi was there to explain how other characters were feeling to autists at home who can’t read faces.>I don't think at any point she actually gave any serious "counselling" to anyoneShe counseled Barclay on his social anxiety. Also after Picard was Borg’d there was a scene of him unpacking his trauma with her.
>>219061351It's literally a women's non job going on about feelings so yes. As a bridge officer though she was fucking useless and more often than not a liability. But she was hot AF and they should have kept her in the mini skirt original uniform she had in the first episodes.
>>219066158You sound like a virgin, that's like the default dtf outfit in America.
>>219061351Looks good to me
>>219066468>I only watch porn how could you tell
>>219065981Have you ever seen the scene? She's been taken over by something and is fucking other members of the crew. Riker steps inside her quarters, looks to the left and there's an ensign sitting on her bed she just got done fucking. The ensign hurries out embarrassed.
The concept of a counsellor in the chain of command that you're supposed to reveal your deepest vulnerabilities to while she's also part of the bridge-officer club and helps them make HR decisions sure makes the Enterprise feel like a hell-ship to me.And you never see any other counsellors on the ship. So I guess she's more like a political officer in a hug-box utopia.
>>219066777What’s funny is how often both her and Beverly reveal private information about people’s medical checkups and counseling sessions just in casual conversation
>>219066842Doctor patient confidentiality does not exist in the Federation. Troi probably jokes about her patients at the weekly poker games. >So I was speaking with a patient this afternoon…>Was it the bed wetter?>No, I see him on Thursdays>Was it the one with the weird sex dreams about old ladies?>That’s the one!
No, Guinan basically did her job for her
>>219067090I don't want to alarm you but every doctor I've known has been like this irl. They all talk about their patients.>dated a basic general practitioner>at her birthday lunch she starts bitching to her friend about a patient's son>dude is 19 and his mother was worried about him because he has no direction in life>dr gf is calling him a pathetic loser and her female friend is nodding along>I try to interject because life isn't that easy and get looked at like I'm an idiotGreetings from Kazakhstan.
You guys ever check out the TNG porn parody?
>>219062895stop living in muttmerica. problem solved. pic related is 35, btw.
>>219067397Just wait until you find out the kind of stuff they say about men, including you, behind your back. She described in intimated detail everything about your penis and the way you are sexually. If you're any good/bad, things she liked or gave her the ick, how long you lasted and any noises you made. If you wanted to cuddle after and what you said in your post-orgasm stupor. Then they laugh together at you.
>>219066536Yep. Virgin
>>219067647yeah it shows
>>219068924no u
>>219067647ig you're trolling cus this bitch is haggard. her tits look like limp fried eggs you can already tell
>>219068702A chick can talk all she wants but she's still coming back to your dick isn't she.I don't know, it's something fundamental about that situation that upset me. The total lack of empathy that some people have. The media portrays imageboard users as sociopaths but at least there's a tacit acceptance that we're all losers that are in it together.
>>219069530Last line was true from maybe 2006 to 2016 max. This site is unrecognizable now.
>>219061501As ship's therapist?Terrible.But that's not her primary function.Her primary function is to assist the Captain in diplomacy with unfamiliar and/or unknown species -- her critical function becomes immediately apparent whenever the universal translator is unable to function in an exchange.She's like the kicker on a football team. She cannot be replaced, even if she rides the bench most of the game when she walks onto the field it's all on her shoulders.
>>219061593It always struck me weird how they apparently never found a cure for autism in the futureThat or they just let Barclay suffer from it because it made him a great engineer
>>219070849Geordi is too obsessed with the warp engines.Every other engineer is just running the book.Barclay was the only one smart enough to understand the mechanics, but low on the food chain to still get stuck with the shit jobs.He knew that transporters kill you.They had to make sure nobody took him seriously.
>>219071250> He knew that transporters kill youNo he didn’t. He was just scared of being put back together the wrong way. It’s suspicious how much he dances around the “teleporters kill us” thing when he’s talking about it. Federation mind control most likely
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1HHaJ-ILXo
>>219070849My theory is that the Federation simply accepted autism as a neurotype and stopped trying to cure or prevent it. Nobody gets mad at Vulcans or Data for not reading faces or speaking at face value. They communicate in their own way.
>>219072433>in the future they… go back to how things exactly were 40 years ago before they invented a medical word for being annoying Waow
>>219061351No.There was even an episode where her powers began to fail and she was ready to quit because she didn't even know how to be a councillor and was relying entirely on her abilities to do her job.The writers thought about making it permanent. They should've.
>>219067647I don't know what anon is trying to say
>>219061351Why are poky nipples so kino?
>>219072673And there was another episode where a grifter was able to convince everyone he was Betazoid by being really good at reading nonverbal cues. I don’t even know if it was making fun of those fake psychics who charge people for readings. It ended up casting even more doubt on Troi’s place as a Bridge Officer.
>>219067183this
>>219061351for me? it was the redhead
>>219072852Boobies are made to activate babies neurons. We never lose that strong instinct to latch on and suckle.
>>219061351halfway through season 3she's dogshituseless crewmember; without her powers she is effectively a civilian. The way she's written it unironically seems that she canonically used her powers to cheat and "earn" her qualifications as a "counsellor".She's been over reliant on her powers her whole life and then has the gall to seethe when others use psychic abilities
>>219074088>anon just watched the Loyd Braun episode Heh
>>219061351>Star Trek was always wokedamn, woke really fell off huh
>>219065981>a girl inviting you to her housewhat
