S1E11 Haven

Season 1 Episode 11: Haven

Watchability: Skip
Short Answer: Introduction of a re-occurring character, so purists may want to watch it, but otherwise it is a pass.
Notables: Introduction of Lwaxana Troi, played by Gene Roddenberry's wife.

I had a hard time deciding between a Skip and an Extra Credit on this one. On the one hand, it introduces one of the iconic characters of the show: Lwaxana Troi. She is the mother of Deanna Troi and shows up several times through out the show. She is played by Majel Barrett, who is not only Gene Roddenberry's wife, but also the voice of the computer. On the original show, she played Nurse Chapel. Her character is largely comedic in this episode, so if you are short on time it is safe to skip.
