    I mean, Troi is hot don’t get me wrong, but she wasn’t a bimbo either. She’s quite competent in a variety of ways. She captains the fucking ship in one episode, during a crisis no less.

      Yeah, she’s actually got a pretty great arc on the show. Even becomes a qualified bridge commander because of that episode.

      And, honestly, I think a lot of her sex symbol rep in the '90s was because the public wasn’t ready to take mental health seriously. Some of her counseling scenes have aged pretty well IMO, and her contribution to the crew was very valuable.
