Craggus' Trek Trek Phase II Vol 12 brings us character tropes aplenty as Geordi gets a visit from HR again while Lwaxana Troi tries to get married again and Beverly starts up another doomed romance.

Timicin showed me that love can bloom even in the most tragic of circumstances. He will forever be in my heart. #LwaxanaTroi #HalfALife #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon @allstartrek

I'll never forget Timicin... such a gentle soul. It broke my heart when he chose to follow that awful tradition. Life's too precious to throw away, my dears. Even so, I chose to be there during his Resolution - to honor the love we shared and let him know he mattered. I stayed right until the end. Oh, Timicin... you'll always have a place in my heart. #LwaxanaTroi #HalfALife #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon @allstartrek

In addition to David Ogden Stiers as Timicin, another guest star was Michelle Forbes who played his daughter Dara.

Her well-regarded work here would lead to her returning to the franchise the following season in the recurring role of Ro Laren.

This episode is another example of Star Trek discussing current issues in the context of a sci-fi story - in this case, talking about ageism, elder care and growing older in general.

Good evening, TGIF and Happy First Contact Day!

While I'm not a big fan of Lwaxana Troi, this is one of my top 2 favorite Lwaxana episodes (tied with "Dark Page").

I do prefer her later appearances on TNG and then DS9 over her earlier episodes on TNG when her character was more comedic and a bit over the top.

#AllStarTrek Oh look, it's #RoLaren before she was... um... Ro Laren
