Hopefully it’s not a repost, but as a Gowron fan it always gets me to crack a smile.

I want some horny lwaxana memes please

The word "memes" is entirely unnecessary to that sentence, tbh.

Lwaxana, be-still my heart.

Lwaxana is the best character in Star Trek

Without question. Majel was the GOAT, too. I've always gotten this very sad vibe from her life story. Cheated out of being second in command of a star ship for being too "Manish," relegated to an occasional side roll as a love lorn, and unlovable, nurse, then Lwaxana was very much so cast the same way, as undesirable, and while worthy of love, unable to actually achieve it. All while in real life she was being repeatedly cheated on by Roddenberry. At least Lwaxana got some real character development, and is a badass strong woman in her own right.

I'm so glad that SNW is giving her two TOS era characters the respect they deserved, and making them into the badasses that Majel deserves to play. It's a great homage to her. They've also done a really good job at mimicking her voice for the computer in several scenes.

Sorry😅 that's a wall of text to say that Majel Barrett rocks and Lwaxana is my favorite character of hers.

Betazoids are a very scary race, but Lwaxana acted as an ambassador to represent her entire species as very silly and nonthreatening. She's a very good ambassador.

She wasn't silly... she was the scariest Betazoid alive! Using her vexatiousness, she instilled fear into the bravest hearts so that they too would shutter! And she treated the kids good, trying to indoctrinate them into Betazoid Supremacy!!!!!!!1 The Betazoids are going to take over the federation!!!!!111111!!!!!1111 We must kick them out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111!!!!!!!!!!111

Okay. Rules changed. Only Glorious Gowron (eyes), Attention Bajoran Workers, Whatever Picard/Data/LaForge/Jellico says, and Horny Lwaxana. Any other though, and you will appear before the Cardassian Court.
