      It’s worse because she’s telepathic - she knows the advances are unwanted and makes people uncomfortable, and yet she does it anyway.

      On top of that, she’s a very important Federation ambassador. People might feel pressured into keeping her happy.

      I have a feeling that if she were of a different sex people would view her relentless unwanted sexual advances quite differently.

      But I guess “man trying to avoid sexual advances of horny older woman” was seen as being a hilarious role reversal on 90s TV.

      She did have some amazing scenes though. She can certainly act when she gets a serious scene as opposed to a sex pest scene.

        I feel like most people would agree she’s a terrible person. Makes for a great character in a tv show though because she shakes things up.

        Her demeaning of her daughter too, “little one”, grates. She’s a narcissist. Reminds me of someone in real life and I’ll never be able to get past it.

      Partially negated by her telepathy. Theoretically she can ignore social boundaries in favour of going by someone’s actual individual boundaries and hidden feelings/comfort levels.

        In other words she knows exactly how much she can violate people’s boundaries before they’ll be uncomfortable enough to do something about it.
