daaaaayuuum where was data when i met my ex????

[VotePaineJefferson]

Hehehe, this is how a man fights back. Pretend to love whatever she says is boring and get someone who won't shut up about it.

this has to be one of the funniest episode on TNG. however the real kicker is 10 seconds later when they left the room

[imanerd000]

and now we know. if a woman is annoying you, call your nerd friend over and bore her to death!

@prodprod *sigh* I wasn't arguing to begin with. My first comment was more of a suggestion and an opinion. YOU started to argue with ME. And now I no longer care why she behaves the way she does.

Picard trollface at 2:54

@iammadness If you choose to believe something about ST or anything else without any reason, then by all means believe it - but don't go around *arguing* it as if you have a reason. If you want to argue your position, you need reasons to support it.

And the way a writer establishes the reason for something in a story (if it matters) - is to put it in the story.

So either Lwaxana's behavior doesn't matter - or it should be explicable within the stories.

And I do enjoy ST - when it works.

@haladacara Maybe telepathic powers weaken with age XD

[iammadness]

@prodprod Since when do people need proof of anything to believe it? XD Also it's a show just enjoy it. No one knows why she behaved this way and the only two who might tell us (Roddenberry or Barrett) are dead. Maybe it was solely for the sake of humor.

Data is just pulling our legs. He gets what a joke is. Oh well done.

(cont'd) (2) And if the point of all of this is that Picard secretly does desire Lwaxana and won't admit it, then at some point the *story* has to show us that somehow *on screen,* it can't simply be invisible on screen and left to our imagination to make it so in order to justify some rather clumsy characterization.

If the point is that she "seems* one way but is actually another, you can't just show the "seems" and have us infer the *other.*

You actually have to show the "other" side.

@iammadness This isn't a question of subtlety. If someone is going to advance a particular interpretation, there has to be *something* on the screen to justify it -- not just in your own imagination. There are numerous scenes with the Mom and Troi, with the Mom and Picard and there's just nothing to suggest, at any point, that Mom is mining some secret desire of Picard's.

It's fine for a character to have some desire that's secret to him -- but the storyteller can't keep it secret to us.
