It's good to hear that I'm not the only one who wondered about Deanna Troi. Talk about building up mental shielding, that had to have been difficult, considering her half-human biology.

The Measure of a Man was definitely one of the best episodes of the entire franchise. Gene Roddenberry and the many great writers who worked for him came up with some significant and truly affecting stories, but Darmok is my favorite.

The whole 'half-human' part confuses me too. I get species that are not too far away from each other on the same planet/evolutionary tree being able to produce viable offspring, but two species on totally different planets that developed from completely different evolutionary trees? How does that work at all? How are their brain structures even remotely compatible? (Or any other major body systems? Do Betazoids just happen to have near identical circulatory, digestive, and reproductive systems to humans?)

They sort of explained that in the great archaeological chase episode The Chase, in which the galaxy was seeded with life by an an ancient species. There's an interesting time loop type crossover of that episode with Stargate SG-1 around somewhere.
