Inconsequential is a word best used for most of the episodes of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" that involve Counselor Troi's mother, Lwaxana. They are generally fun but really have little depth or provide much in the way of advancing the overall Star Trek story. This isn't necessarily a complaint, though, as these shows are also rather fun...as there really is no one like Lwaxana!
The show begins with Worf and Alexander working out their troubled relationship with the help of Counselor Troi. Worf is bossy and cold and Alexander isn't very obedient. However, their progress in counseling is lost when Lwaxana shows up--and she practically kidnaps the boy--taking him off on her holodeck adventures. At the same time, Lwaxana is SUPPOSED to be preparing for a wedding to a very dull man--one who is nothing like the free-spirited Lwaxana. Are Lwaxana's and Alexander's stories really THAT different?
This one is played just for laughs. It's got a few and I did enjoy the final scene with Worf, Deanna, Lwaxana and Alexander. But it's also one that is easy to skip or forget.
