Many fans complain about Lwaxana Troi’s StarTrek episodes but there were always those of us who loved her. Yesterday, Matt Baume shared his explanation of his own love for this character brought to life by the wonderful Majel Barrett.
Matt is a queer journalist. Much of his work focuses on how queer people influenced popular culture. His latest book is Hi Honey, I’m Homo.
(And Matt has no idea who I am or that I’m sharing his video on Threadiverse. 😹)
Lwaxana is a great character in her own right. Her comparitive color and depth next to Deanna is an indictment of the writers’ abandonment of the latter as a viable character.
S5E20 is Trek at its spiritual best, and contains some of TNG’s funniest images (like Worf in a mudbath)
