True, but if the Betazoid could read my thoughts....
***I used to drive my wife crazy when I watched Star Trak 2 on TV, because I would always fire Deanna Troy. There would inevitably be some scene where the whole conflict could have been avoided if she had simply done her freepin’ job and read the thoughts of the antagonist.
Then Star Trek Voyager came on and I fired the Captain in the first episode. No Captain would risk a whole crew to cruise across 80 years’ worth of space when they had a machine right there that could send almost everybody on a one-way trip home. Most fans don’t remember that part.
I gather I should have pinged you also to the previous post
