"FUN" trek shows

How do you all like the "fluf fun" shows on trek shows. These are usually are on the holodeck, like Picard as Robin Hood or a non holodeck like when the Ferengi kidnapped the Troy women. This includes some Quark shows on DS9 and some Doctor shows on Voyager.

Well, that is a bummer, because usually the odds of having half of a Fizzbin are astronomical.

Now you are talking about a Royal Fizzbin Maria that's quite another level of Fizzbin.

@Nexus71 : Thanks for the info. I'm not any good with any kind of card game.

Another bit that actually makes me chuckle when I watch Qpid is when LaForge is trying to play a Lute and Worf takes the instrument from him and smashes it against a tree gives the instrument back to Laforge and replies with a dry "sorry".

I liked the episode in TNG when Laxwana Troi, Worf (WTF?) and Alexander were in the holodeck taking mudbaths at some posh resort. I can't remember the name of the episode, unfortunately.

Having Alexander and a naked Lwaxana Troi in a mud bath is still in my mind as one of the most disturbing scenes of the entire TNG series, didn't anyone strike this as weird or not at least peculiar when filming this.My mother taught never to take candy from strangers or go with them and it certainly would not cross my mind to go into mud baths with strange naked elderly ladies.What were they thinking? Starfleet is a haven for peadophiles ? it was called "Cost Of Living"S05e20 MK.

You have a very sound point. It could have been that the producers thought that in the future, that wouldn't be thought of that way.

Interesting point, Nexus. I had forgotten about that particular scene having only seen it once during its original airing. I'm not a fan of Lwaxanna, and I pretty much avoid all her episodes like the plague, that one in particular. I wonder how people would have reacted if it had been a naked man taking a mudbath with a naked little girl?
Like Clarence once asked, "Have you ever seen a grown man naked?"

Or "Have you ever been to a Turkish bath?" .Classic Airplane dialogue
But Lwaxana had one good episode "Half A Life"S04e22.

Surely Laxwana had more than one good TNG episode?

Nope I am afraid not she annoyed the heck out of me ,the only thing that was good about her character was that she came with Mr. Homn banging that gong.
