11 Times Star Trek The Next Generation DID Have Conflict
5. Troi Spilled Everyone's Beans
Troi was originally supposed to be the new Spock and she was written this way for most of the first season. Even though she could read and parse other people’s feelings she didn’t care much about them nor did she have many of her own.
Troi was blunt with her advice, calling out fellow crew members on their emotional hypocrisy right to their faces. And she often did it in front of an audience.
She regularly confronted Picard publicly, questioning his mental state in front of the Ferengi in The Battle and telling the bridge crew he was pining for his ex-girlfriend in We’ll Always Have Paris.
During Code of Honor she revealed Yar was attracted to a world leader in front of everyone leaving the tactical officer stammering to qualify her less-than-professional horn dogging.
