Don't worry .... it's not what you think it is ... I'm just getting into posting video content because I think it's fun.

"Fascination" is such a great Lwaxana episode.
Even under all that prosthesis, he carries that expression of having to give in to her whims with the weight of 100 gross self-sealing stem bolts.
It's great watching the show ... there is so much going on with serious topics, reflections on society, connections to current events (then and now) and actors that are creating characters that are growing on me. I always saw the Lwaxana's character as terribly over the top and I didn't like it ... now I see her as a terribly over the top character and I love it. Mixed with Picard in TNG I thought it was silly ... now seeing her with Odo is even more silly and off the wall and it's completely fun to watch. I'm also slowly watching TOS and to see Majal playing Nurse Chapel way back then amazes me to know that she was part of the franchise for so long.
I'm truly appreciating her a lot more now .... it's no wonder they refer to her as the First Lady of Star Trek.
Lwaxana's continued presence in DS9 let us see what went on behind her outlandishness. The manic and unhindered spirit who goes through her own hardships, making her more than some caricature to torment Picard. Not that we don't otherwise revel in those moments.
it’s no wonder they refer to her as the First Lady of Star Trek.
I mean, I'm pretty sure being married to Gene Roddenberry was a factor, too...
No doubt .... she started off her career by having an affair with a married Roddenberry when he was starting a new show called Star Trek. At the same time she suddenly becomes a leading co star in the pilot of the new show. Whoever did what, it involved a lot of messy bodily fluids.
I had a bit of contempt for all this when I first read about it regarding The Original Series. I thought she was a loud drama queen when I saw her in TNG and now seeing her playing up and embracing that history and that image in DS9 ... I now have a new found respect for her. Instead of fading into the shadows with all that stigma, she put on the biggest wig she could find, put on a beautiful dress, covered up in makeup and smiled as hard as she could to the world.
