Troi is usually a paperweight with nice honkers, but she was robbed.

Pity it didn't make it as an extra for the TNG season 6 set...

I did hear once Rick Berman was never a fan of the original series; and indeed used his clout to nix the Sulu show in favor of Voyager (the show itself was claimed to have been talked about in an online forum, Berman saw it and 'borrowed' it, but that's merely an old rumor)... (in 1995, a Sulu series would have worked; as Trek VI also felt like a pilot for such a series and the Excelsior survived Chang's attack without even a scratch on the hull, proving they wanted to keep the model for later use...)


BTW: Did you know Marina Sirtis was a contender for the role of Dayna in "Blake's 7" (1980)?
