Synopsis:  Troi becomes, according to the producers, “sexy and scary.”  Well, one of them.

Memory Alpha Summary:  Apparently, the writers “gangbanged” the script.  This review had no such treatment.

Review:  Because we didn’t get enough “ambassador who is awesome at negotiations but oh so fragile” in Loud as a Whisper, we now have a guy who dumps his bad emotions on hot chicks and then pretends they’re his mother.  Yeah.

There are some fun scenes in the script, including Troi seducing the terrified ensign and calling another officer a whiny bitch in a counseling session.  But then the episode turns into Unnatural Selection where Troi gets so old she almost dies and then her cells magically return to normal again once things are fixed.

Reduce, reuse, recycle.
