Troi is laughably ridiculous in Farpoint. What did she say at the end? “Good tidings and joy for all!” or something like that. SAD!
‘Great joy and gratitude…’ eurgh!
I did think ‘The Boy’ Wesley was going to end being Picard’s son in the first few seasons - Picard and Beverley always seemed have that awkward thing going on, and it seemed the obvious place for the writers to go with Picard really not liking children…
She was translating the emotional vibes she was getting from giant matter transforming space jellyfish. She probably didn’t have to say it three times.
They did tone down her getting too emotional all the time after the pilot.
Yeah, they seemed to have planned to have her actually experience and act out the emotions she sensed at first. I’m glad that she never got more than just a little overwhelmed at times from then on.
