" Ship's counselor Deanna Troi is portrayed by Marina Sirtis.

During the progression of the series the attraction or affection between the two is made more apparent, though both Crusher and Picard try to conceal their feelings ; neither wants to admit to the other how they feel, though they have both been seen on separate occasions talking with other crew members about it, most notably, William Riker and Deanna Troi.

Troi and LaForge argue that if there is a “ cosmic plan ,” that the presence of the Enterprise and its crew is also to be included in that plan and that this alone allows them a legitimate claim to act on behalf of a people in need.

Riker is usually referred to as " Wil ", although in early first-season episodes of TNG he is sometimes called " Bill " by Deanna Troi.

Armus kills Yar on Vagra II as a demonstration of his power in " Skin of Evil " while Yar is attempting to rescue Deanna Troi.

More recently, in the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation, the crew is sometimes seen playing five-card stud, often an officer's game hosted by Commander William Riker and usually entered by Data ( as part of his efforts to become more human ), Worf, Geordi LaForge, Dr Beverley Crusher, Deanna Troi and occasionally by other crewmembers.

While on duty ( and not knowing that his version of Picard had briefly been replaced by the one from the ' normal ' Trek universe ), mirror Barclay is murdered by that universe's counterpart of Deanna Troi.

The exact meaning is unclear: " there is no direct translation " Ménage à Troi ).

( There is precedent for a Starfleet officer to not wear a regulation uniform, however: Deanna Troi in Star Trek: The Next Generation only wore regulation uniform during seasons six and seven ( followed by all the movies starring the TNG crew ), while Worf wore a Klingon sash with his uniform throughout his Starfleet career on both U. S. S Enterprises and Deep Space Nine but these series take place in later centuries than Star Trek: Enterprise ).

Mirror counterparts of the Troi family also appear in this story: Ian is a rebel starship commander, Lwaxana runs a brothel in the midst of ruined Betazed, and Deanna ( who had been working for her mother ) eventually leaves to join the Rebellion as well.

Lwaxana Troi arrives on the Enterprise, declaring that she is to hold her arranged wedding there.

Picard refuses, but when he is told she wants him to give away the bride he changes his mind, saying, " Nothing would please me more than to give away Mrs. Troi.

Deanna Troi ( Marina Sirtis ), an empath, senses a being with powerful yet despairing emotions nearby, and others of the crew discover a strange labyrinth beneath the station, but Zorn is unable to offer an explanation.

Riker, now in command of the ship, prepares to join an away team to transport to the Cube to rescue Picard, but Counselor Troi reminds him his place is now on the bridge.

He is now Captain of the Enterprise, Data is his first officer, and Picard has been promoted to admiral, with Deanna Troi serving as his aide.

Other major changes occur: Riker is seen as Captain of the Enterprise, the Bajorans become the suppressors of the Cardassians and enemies of the Federation, Wesley Crusher is a lieutenant on the Enterprise, Alyssa Ogawa is the Chief Medical Officer, and Worf finds himself married to Deanna Troi.

Dr. Crusher is puzzled and full of emotion as she later confides to Counselor Troi and wonders about the true depth of her feelings for Odan.

It is revealed that Riker and Worf are in a feud over the late Enterprise counselor Deanna Troi, with whom both had a serious relationship.

In 2372, Odo marries a pregnant, recently divorced Lwaxana Troi as a favor to her, so that her child will not be taken away from her at birth by the father, as required by Tavnian law.

In the TNG season 6 episode " Face of the Enemy ", Counselor Deanna Troi was surgically altered by a Romulan underground organization to impersonate a Tal Shiar officer Major Rakal.

Barclay and Troi managed to work out what was happening, and Barclay was then able to dupe the Ferengi into abandoning their plan by posing as the hologram and claiming that Voyager was more heavily armed than they were.

Ferengi also have lobed foreheads, large, ridged noses, ascending ribs, upper and lower lungs, and a four-lobed brain that cannot be read by the telepathic powers of Betazoids or Vulcans, although half-Betazoid Deanna Troi, herself incapable of telepathic contact with non-Betazoids, could empathically sense their emotions, as seen in The Price and other episodes.

However, over the years Troi's use of the accent has gradually diminished ; also, when Ian Troi finally appeared onscreen ( played by Amick Byram in the episode " Dark Page "), he spoke with an American accent.

" At least one of the original writers has spoken publicly in opposition to this revised script, which has been derided by some for the crew's apathy toward what some have called Troi being raped.

Played by Majel Barrett, who went on to play Nurse Christine Chapel in the original Star Trek and Lwaxana Troi in Star Trek: The Next Generation, as well as the computer's voice, the character appears only in the unaired pilot and in the footage used in " The Menagerie ".

Similarly, in the New Frontier novel Double or Nothing, William Riker is somewhat taken aback by her, saying she reminds him of a woman he knows ( presumably Lwaxana Troi, also played by Barrett ).

Imzadi is a non-canon Star Trek novel by Peter David, primarily exploring William Riker's assignment to Betazed and his early relationship with Deanna Troi.

Data announces that electromagnetic interference from electrical storms precludes the use of the transporter to the moon ; Picard authorizes a shuttlecraft mission, manned by Riker, Data, and Troi.

He eventually developed strong feelings for Counselor Deanna Troi, and explored a relationship with her for a time, which at times strained his relationship with her former romantic interest, Commander Riker.

In an alternate future, Worf had been reluctant to become involved with Troi and her subsequent death led to a rift between Riker and himself as a result.

Before the beginning of the series, Riker was involved in a romantic relationship with Counselor Troi on her home planet of Betazed.

Betazoid / human hybrids ( like Deanna Troi ), however, are just empaths, not telepaths ( although still able to communicate telepathically with full Betazoids, and with those very close to them i. e. Deanna Troi and her imzadi ( first true love ), William Riker and also her mother ).

Lwaxana Troi struggles with her impending wedding and meddles in Deanna Troi's attempt at counseling Worf and Alexander Rozhenko.

When he returns to his room expecting a surprise party, he finds only Troi waiting for him and, knowing that the two are married in many alternate universes, he invites her to share dinner with him.
