Patrick Stewart confirms an old Star Trek: The Next Generation rumor about a bizarre idea Gene Roddenberry had for Counselor Troi in his new memoir.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Patrick Stewart confirms an old Star Trek: The Next Generation rumor about Gene Roddenberry's bizarre idea for Counselor Deanna Troi . The behind-the-scenes stories of how Roddenberry got Star Trek: The Next Generation up and running in its tumultuous season 1 are legendary, and Stewart revisits those early TNG days in his autobiography, "Making It So: A Memoir.
In "Making It So: A Memoir," Patrick Stewart reveals how the first few months of shooting Star Trek: The Next Generation season 1 were "full of anxiety," and he discusses the third episode of TNG, "The Naked Now," which Stewart described as a "sex farce" before confirming Gene Roddenberry's weird idea for Deanna Troi. Read the excerpt below:
A lot of people enjoy “The Naked Now,” but to me, it smacked of desperation, as if we had been on the air for years and the writers had already emptied the cupboard of good ideas. But Gene, as it is well known, was a fan of cheesecake - he had Marina wear a minidress and go-go boots in the pilot, as if the 1960s had never ended, and he contemplated giving Deanna Troi three or even four breasts.
However, Star Trek: Picard showcased an evolved Deanna Troi, who was a strong and confident wife and mother in the early 25th century. In Star Trek: Picard season 3, Troi was crucial to unlocking the season-long mystery about Picard's son, Jack Crusher's , ties to the Borg, and Deanna heroically rescued her husband, Captain Will Riker , Picard, and Captain Worf , from the exploding Borg Cube.
