Show was written in a time before streaming, before people could record TV. She was there to explain to the audience, who were assumed to not be aware of the previous episodes, who the bad guys are.
Good point! I had VHS tapes that had been recorded over too much…I often missed half an ep, because I set the timer wrong or I already had a good one and I tried to record a second on the same tape.
She states the obvious because she relies too much on her ability to read minds. She ironically, doesnt know what it is like not to be able to do that. So she doesn’t know what is and is not obvious to others. Although you would think that by now she would have picked up on the interal eye rolling going on when she states the obvious AGAIN.
I think there’s a lot of value in quickly profiling enemies and anyone else you deal with.
Ah yes valuable skills like sensing that the romulans may be hiding something.
And that the alien who is yelling seems angry
And the Ferengi is scheming. Oh, wait, she can’t read Ferengi.

The stories which her empathy abilities are more useful don’t make it to the show unfortunately, they’re over too quickly. That’s my theory.

Yeah. She’s an empath that can size up the adversary over a FaceTime call. Pretty awesome advantage!
