You're viewing a single thread.
She's a sex pest though, worse than Barclay.
It's worse because she's telepathic - she knows the advances are unwanted and makes people uncomfortable, and yet she does it anyway.
On top of that, she's a very important Federation ambassador. People might feel pressured into keeping her happy.
I have a feeling that if she were of a different sex people would view her relentless unwanted sexual advances quite differently.
But I guess "man trying to avoid sexual advances of horny older woman" was seen as being a hilarious role reversal on 90s TV.
She did have some amazing scenes though. She can certainly act when she gets a serious scene as opposed to a sex pest scene.
Love Majel Barret, hate Lwaxana.
Also, did we have this same conversation a couple weeks ago on telegram?
Nah I don't have telegram, must've been somebody else I'm afraid :)
I feel like most people would agree she's a terrible person. Makes for a great character in a tv show though because she shakes things up.
Her demeaning of her daughter too, "little one", grates. She's a narcissist. Reminds me of someone in real life and I'll never be able to get past it.
I interpret her interactions with Picard a little differently. He might think she's a real pain in the ass, but I don't think she's actually being a sex pest, because they both know she knows there's nothing there. He's not going to be pressured into doing anything he's not interested in, which is something she also knows, and they live in a world where that's not OK anyway. It's a game, and honestly, an extremely gifted and perceptive telepath could cause him any number of problems. This is a man whose experience with people being in his mind was from the Borg. She's certainly found a way to come off as extremely harmless.
Partially negated by her telepathy. Theoretically she can ignore social boundaries in favour of going by someone's actual individual boundaries and hidden feelings/comfort levels.
In other words she knows exactly how much she can violate people's boundaries before they'll be uncomfortable enough to do something about it.
