Star Trek: The Next Generation - 02x19 Manhunt

Summary: Stardate: 42859.2 Lwaxana Troi hops a ride on Enterprise to a conference to which it is taking two other delegates to, as Lwaxana is going as a delegate too. The other two delegates have come aboard in self induced comas, as to avoid their species dislike of space travel.The crew tries to find ways to avoid Lwaxana, as she chases after Capt. Picard and others, for marital purposes; in effect, her “manhunt.” Deanna explains that her mother is at the point in her life where a Betazoid woman’s sex drive increases tenfold. When Picard decides to hide in a Dickson Hill holodeck program, Lwaxana sets her sights on Riker.However, as the other two delegates begin to fully awaken from their comas, it is Lwaxana’s telepathy that alerts the crew to a major danger facing the conference.

MISTAKES/GOOFS

CONT: In "The Big Good-bye", Picard wore his uniform in the holodeck and got wry comments from the characters there. But when Riker wears his uniform in Rex's bar, no one gives it a second look.
CHAR: Marina Sirtis stumbles and nearly falls towards the end of the show when she, Mr. Homn and Lwaxana leave the turbo-lift.
CONT: In "The Big Good-bye", Picard coughed immediately after lighting a cigarette. A normal reaction for a non-smoker. This time he puffs away without any problem.
PLOT: Lwaxana says the Antedians' minds were easy to read, but if that were so, Troi should have been able to easily sense the aliens were up to no good.
PLOT: If Lwaxana is a powerful telepath, then there is no need for Troi to have a conversation in the hallway when she and her mother could communicate by thought.

TRIVIA

When Captain Picard as Dixon Hill takes a look out of his office window, footage from an old movie is used to simulate the street-scape.
First Star Trek appearance of actor 'Robert OReilly. He would make numerous appearances (most notably as the Klingon Chancellor Gowron) throughout this series, as well as on "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" (1993).
CAMEO(Mick Fleetwood): The Fleetwood Mac legend appears in a cameo role under heavy make-up, as the Antedean dignitary.
