*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
This particular episode holds special interest. It contains a touching exchange between Lwaxana and young Alexander. Lwaxana explains her reasoning for proceeding with an arranged marriage. Consider this subtext. This particular episode starring Majel aired not long after her husband, Gene Roddenberry's death. The depth of the pain over his loss is evident in her eyes. When she speaks of fearing loneliness, it is impossible to distinguish Lwaxana from Majel. If anyone is aware of an inside source for Star Trek lore, I would appreciate a post containing the link(s). I would be fascinated to hear how this episode came to be written. I'd also be curious about the mood on the set.
