Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In 'Skin of Evil,' Troi pities Armus and probes its loneliness. In 'Symbiosis,' she comments on the survivors' startling lack of remorse, highlighting her role as the crew's emotional barometer. This continuity reinforces her function as a bridge between the emotional and logical responses to crisis.
