Why does everything happen to Troi? I guess the actual premise of the story was kind of interesting; someone channeling their negative emotions, thoughts, urges, into a 'receptacle' so they don't impede his abilities to negotiate peace. Problem is, he's using women as his receptacle, against their will, and it eventually kills them. From the way Troi behaved, like some maniacal sex deviant, all of Ambassador Alkar's negativity was sexual urges. So, the whole story boils down to watching Troi seduce everyone, age about 10 years every hour or so, and as she gets older turn into a jealous, mean, screaming harpy. Cringeworthy to the max. It was extremely satisfying watching Alkar die at the end; unfortunately, it didn't happen soon enough.
