  • Rewatching TNG as an adult, Troi’s empathic skills are actually useful. We, the viewer, may already be aware, but she clues Picard and the rest of the crew in on things they need to know at that moment.

    As for her abilities as a therapist, I think Starfleet failed to train her for “frontier/first contact” situations properly. On most any other ship in the fleet, she would be fine. On the Enterprise she had to wing her way through events and problems that have never been experienced before by any member of Starfleet.

    And for the record, she did help Barclay get better at interacting with other people. I appreciate that we get to see more of them in Voyager.
