Deanna Troi Done Dirty By Star Trek One More Time

When Star Trek: Picard was announced, we were obviously excited for the return of the title character. We were also hopeful, though, that we’d get to see what happened with beloved characters like Deanna Troi.

However, from the very beginning of the spinoff, Picard continued doing Troi’s character a disservice.

In the first season of Star Trek: Picard episode “Nepenthe,” we meet back up with Deanna Troi and Will Riker. Both of them are raising a daughter and grieving a son, but Riker gets most of the good dialogue and fun character moments alongside his old comrade, Jean-Luc Picard.

Troi is mostly there to look sad and give us depressing dialogue about how she isn’t as brave (we wish we were making this up!) as she once was.
