Episode o' the Day
"The Forsaken" (season one, episode seventeen; 24 May 1993): Wikipedia-link.
Commentary: Deep Space Nine makes better use of Lwaxana Troi, in her three appearances from the first through the fourth seasons, than The Next Generation ever did. This is another very typical Star Trek episode, with an alien probe causing computer problems & officious Federation officials; that last bit has been a trope since T.O.S.: Starfleet officers are the Federation's finest, with bureaucrats & ambassadors serving as overbearing & usually incompetent foils to our heroes.
