>senses youre path
>>222829155>Captain… I sense anger.Wow you don’t say Troi, you dumb fuck
She can sense how hard my dick is
>>222829155>Ah Counselor Troi, glad you're here. We're in a tense episode with an outsider who may be deceiving us. Can you use your telepathic abilities to help us determine the truth?>No....there's uh....space interference.>He's on the ship with us right now, he's literally down the hall.>No....I....the tachyons are....in retrograde...I can't sense anythingSeriously, I can count the number of times Troi's abilities were actually useful on one hand. Why did they even make her an empath? She could have just been a regular psychologist and nothing would change.
>Put some clothes on, whore. This is the flagship of the Federation not some Ferengi sex den.
>>222829298She was good at sensing when someone was bluffing or hiding something
>>222829317he was so based and masculine in his command that she continued to obey his orders long after he left the Enterprise
>>222829317>flagship of the Federation ship going into negotiations with a potentially dangerous enemy>captain tries to actually run it like a military ship>everyone starts getting pissy and throwing tantrums; Riker hides in his room to jerk off or whateverNo wonder these guys got their asses whooped at Wolf 359
>>222829155Unironically, how do you tell what emotions other people are feeling?
>>222829317>hey writer fags I'm sick of wearing this retarded clothes. can I wear a uniform like everyone else?>uhh sure, no problem >next episode>"Put some clothes on, whore. This is the flagship of the Federation not some Ferengi sex den."
>>222829317Picard was better than this guy.
>>222829371some of his changes were ridiculous though like he wanted to change the staff shifts from 3x 8 hour shifts per day to 4x 6 hour shifts per day or whatever for no reason and that's a huge overhaul to do on a ship that's in active service in a fucking warzone
>>222829415One whiff of their farts will tell you everything you need to know. You just need to find a way to get them to fart. I will not share my techniques on this matter.
>>222829426>directed by Rick Berman
>>222829454what navy are you a captain in
If that had been me in there I'd have fucking knocked his block off.
>>222829502absolutely shit on that fucking retard. He's probably the captain of the USS Fuckwit. Hehehehe
>>222829502Got his ass
>>2228294544x6 makes way more sense as people have more rest in between shifts and they won't be pushed for as long while they're on it. It made perfect sense.
>>222829415Body language generally. The flare of a nostril, twitch of a lip, furrow of a brow etc.
>>222829426The dabo girl dresses were probably way more comfortable than that suffocating bullshit that gave everyone back problems.
>>222829415If you're a normal person it's literally like magic. There are so many subtle cues that you couldn't analyze on a conscious level even if you wanted. You can make low-resolution distinctions like "smile" vs "frown" but the truth is it's so subtle that if you're an autist/aspburger trying to find a way to calculate emotion from consciously paying attention to visual data, I'm afraid your out of luck.
>>222829155For a show/series that put heavy emphasis on rationality and science over faith, Troi's character stank of New Age nonsense, and I never understood why they made the counselor, of all things, a senior command staff member. She's basically a mood detector when we, the audience, can already clearly detect the intentions of the adversary of that week's episode.
>>222829317Is that Dick Jones?
>>222829996Bro the 80s were a different time. Society was putting Christ in the cave and we needed a new religion STAT. Now remember all these shows are made by Californians. And they rip off science fiction stories from 1960s malthusian "humanists".
>>222829997yes. robert cop is also in star trek as earth first nationalist
>>222829996>For a show/series that put heavy emphasis on rationality and science over faithmust be talking about some series that isn't star trek
>>222830055Maybe I should watch Star Trek.
>>222829996>senior command staff membershe outranks data by the end of the show by just taking a test. a test data could easily pass.
>>222829317Jelly did NOTHING wrong
>>222830089theyre mostly just guest stars, but they do have some real legends on the show every now and then
Counselor, can you help talk Riker into a steamy night together, just me and him?
>>222829155You just know she's got an amazing bush
>>222830080>must be talking about some series that isn't star trekThis is the same series that loves to boast about how humanity has ascended and left behind childish things like religion while also taking time to grovel over Native American spirituality.
>>222829996I think part of it was confusion over the word "counselor". She was supposed to be a diplomatic counselor, which would make sense given all the encounters with new races, but the writers quickly forgot and had her just be a therapist instead.Also, as >>222830032 alludes, most of Trek's weirdness can be blamed on the fact that it was the brainchild of a horny midcentury Californian idealist
>>222829155I am path?I hate you fucking ESLs.
>>222830995>I think part of it was confusion over the word "counselor". She was supposed to be a diplomatic counselor, which would make sense given all the encounters with new races, but the writers quickly forgot and had her just be a therapist instead.Nah, she was intended to be their therapist from the start, considering she specialized in psychology at Starfleet Academy. >most of Trek's weirdness can be blamed on the fact that it was the brainchild of a horny midcentury Californian idealistAlmost all of the worst parts of Star Trek have to do with its society, and it stems from Gene's naive and honestly stifling idea of how society would turn out. I guess that's what I love about DS9 because it actually deconstructs how easily those ideas crumble in the face of chaos. Funny enough, I thought TOS did a better job of portraying it as fantasy versus TNG's smug moralizing.
>>222829155When you have been meditating enough you possess a certain level of meta cognition where you can make the conscious choice whether or not to engage with emotions.
>>222829155
>>222829454Riker was just being a bitch. He didn't actually care about the schedule.
>>222832238Riker was genuinely a prick in these episodes. It was fine at the beginning, because everyone was expecting Jellico to be the cliche Evil Admiral (well, captain in this case) so Riker rebelling against his authority was going to be justified eventually. But then Jellico turned out to be a good captain who was just a bit of a hardass, and Riker *still* keeps acting like an asshole, for no reason.
>>222829298She's THE most useless person in the galaxy.
>>222829327Things that any ordinary human can easily do.>>222829317Give that man a promotion.
Troi:>sometimes it takes time to recover from a traumatic experience. If we don't talk about it, it might make us feel sadThe Picard:>Bravo counselor, you've just earned your 6th yoga retreat vacation for the year with that outstanding work! Take your time, and we've given you a bonus to your salary, enjoy your vacation!Another day on the Flagship SS Clownworld
>>222833883>6th yoga retreat vacationIs Risa state prostitution?
Demona pls.
>>222829996She was a narrative device by which the writers could convey the emotional stakes of the episode to an autistic audience that doesn't understand human emotions.
>>222829996What are you nine? Grow the fuck up and stop putting ketchup on your hot dog.
>>222830093>I can't pass this test, what am I missing?>Have you tried killing Geordie?
>>222834227I SEEK JAMAHARON
I like how the Riza episodes completely drop the act and show the Trek future Gene envisioned is just nonstop SUCKING and FUCKING whenever anyone is on leave.It's not even coy like a 60s spy film "oh maybe I'll take a nice vacation and perhaps meet a nice lady on the beach", it's just straight up "HI THANKS FOR STEPPING OFF THE PLANE HERE ARE INFINITE FREE PROSTITUTES JUST LEAVE THE STATUE NEXT TO YOUR CHAIR AND SOMEONE WILL BE AROUND TO MOUNT YOU SHORTLY"
damn dude where the fuckin neex
>>222834750It's a time-honored tradition
>It's a Troi gets mind-controlled by an alien episode
>>222829317He was right and she looked way better in the uniform. Same with Kira when they made her a Starfleet officer so she could legally engage in terrorism against the cardassians again.
>>222829155what if they meet a species of men who want to gangrape her and turn her into a breeding slave can she sense that?
>>222835139Too much ass
>>222829155she played a stuck-up holier than thou bitch, but in real life she's a cool wine aunt.
>>222835662
>>222835751i made so many gooner video gens of this
>>222835662t.
>>222831052It's a meme you dip.I bet you're also ESL. This board these days is just brown people calling browner people brown.
>>222829155I kneel
>>222833600I could put her to good use, if you catch my sexual innuendo
>>222832739yeah the scene where jellico has to come to riker hat in hand just to get him to do his fucking job made me lose all respect for riker
>>222835181>Hey Worf wanna watch me bump clitties with Vanessa Williams?>Nah, I'm going to go help the incels, who shouldn't exist on this planet, fuck up the weather machine just to ruin everyone else's vacation
>>222836151>Worf recommends an aggressive response to a threatening alien encounter>Picard: MISTER WORF HERE IN STARFLEET WE OPERATE BY A MORE ENLIGHTENED SET OF VALUES>Worf commits a literal terrorism>Sisko: Eh, happens to all of us
