Episode Description:
Jen and Angela celebrate Star Trek’s Lwaxana Troi: daughter of the Fifth House, Holder of the Sacred Chalice of Rixx, Heir to the Holy Rings of Betazed, and then talk about motherhood and “nerd moms” in this Mother’s Day edition of Anomaly.

Mrs. Troi, as she was sometimes called, was played by the late great Majel Barrett and was the mother of Counselor Deanna Troi, a telepathic human/Betazoid hybrid in Star Trek The Next Generation. Lwaxana was such a great recurring character that her character arc spanned in six TNG episodes and three Deep Space Nine episodes.

And let’s not forget that Majel also played the computer (voice of star trek computer in every series after TNG, except Enterprise)

Lwaxana Troi Episodes ( Star Trek Next Generation TV Series)

Haven (Season 1, Episode 10) The episode in which Troi’s mom arrives on the Enterprise for Deanna’s arranged wedding to Wyatt Miller, a medical doctor and apparent artist who has been sketching a woman he’s seen in his dreams since he was a young boy. He’s disappointed to find that Deanna is not the woman in his visions.

Man Hunt (Season 2, Episode 19)In the aptly named “Man Hunt” Troi’s mom is hunting for a new husband. First, it’s Picard and then she turns her attentions to Riker.

Half Life (Season 4 Episode 22): Counselor Troi’s mother visits the Enterprise and becomes infatuated with a man whose culture forces him into a suicidal ritual called “The Resolution.”

Cost of Living (Season 5, Episode 20): Deanna Troi counsels Worf to deal with his son Alexander’s authority problems by drawing up a two-ways contract on paternal and filial rights and obligations, but is still practically terrified to hear her overbearing and impulsive mother, Ambassador Lwaxana, announces her own arrival, soon meddling with the educational contract, and that of a planet’s Third Minister Campio whom she decided to marry solely based on computerized profiles, but finds less compatible once he and his protocol master Erko arrive for the wedding…

Dark Page (Season 7, Episode 7) While establishing diplomatic relations with an alien race called the Cairn, Deanna’s mother experiences a mental breakdown and falls into a coma, and it seems like Deanna is the only one who is able to help her, even if her mother doesn’t want it.
