Y'ever think about that empath on Star Trek?

The original series?  She was played by a woman who was also on a soap opera my grandmother (and my mother, some) watched.

Oh, the contortions I recall on her face.

What a weird part to play.

I think her part on "As the World Turns" was more conventional, though both were probably not unconventional roles for women, it seems safe to suggest.

Yeah, I remember that episode. It seemed all avant-garde and artsy-theatrical to me at the time. The time being when I was somewhere between 10 and 15, watcing it in reruns after school.

I actually did not know there was an empath on Star Trek TOS.
Who was it, the blonde?

She was very cute and her character had integrity.

Integrity, eh?
I long for this Star-Trek future where everyone has integrity and reason and understanding are the norm.

You know...except for Q.

Q?

She had a really cute dimple in her chin too.

Q was more of a Next Gen guy.
Played by John DeLancie.

Q was one of the things I didn't like in Next Gen. That and the use of the empath as a cheap writing device. The question would arise of what's going on here, and Troi would "sense" it. "Captain, I sense that..." I mean, sheesh. Felt kinda cheaty.

I don't know why I disliked the Q plots, but I did.
