This is the episode where Deanna narrowly avoids an arranged marriage, and the one where we meet her mother. "I should warn you sir. My mother is a little...eccentric." The one, the only, Lwaxana Troi, played by Majel Barrett who later takes on the role of the computer voice for the Enterprise. I'm also a fan of Carel Struycken who here plays Mr. Homn, Lwaxana's assistant, but who has also appeared in Ewoks: Battle for Endor (and, yes, I love that movie), The Addams Family, and Babylon 5.
Though the angst is Bad, as is the big hair and clothing of the plague-ridden Tarellians, I can never help but love the wacky hijinks that ensue in Lwaxana episodes, though she taxes one's patience. Plus this introduces the idea of the Betazoid wedding--where all attendees are naked. This one definitely earns a So Bad It's Good.
