What happened to Troi?

I was watching the Season 7 episode where the lieutenant jumps onto the warp core. Or nacell tube or what ever.
It's the one where Troi was having flashbacks to someone else's life. Then she tries to kill herself.
Anyway, I really think it would have been a good episode except every time I looked at Troi I kept thinking that she must have been involved in a horrible accident, then I would start thinking about what type of accident could make her suddenly have a pit bull mouth,
And then I would not be paying attention to the show.
So anyway, I have watched this episode before but I think I did the Troi/pit bull mouth thing every other time too so I still really am not sure what the conclusion was.

So what the hell happened to her face? Is there any information about that?
It weirded me out.

...that she didn't actually kill herself.

Hey, it's what we're all thinking, right?

I always liked that episode, if only for the gruesome thought of skeletal human remains in one of the nacelles as the ship flies into warp.

Why are you here if you haven't seen the movie yet?

Okay maybe but what's up with pit bull mouth?
Why does her mouth look like it ends about 1cm from her ear???

Plastic surgery gone wrong, perhaps.

I think she had a bad lip injection. Her lips didn't look like that later on.

I agree it was really distracting as if she was auditioning for the Joker or something.

I honestly have no idea what you all are talking about. I have not seen that episode in a while but I do know it well [long story].

I never remembered her face being particularly 'off' or anything during that episode.

can I get a screen cap of a particularly bad pit bull mouth?

Oh God. Fortune vomits on my eiderdown once more.

I have to agree and don't know what "pit bull mouth" is :?

[–] FKA_BrokenBadly 7 years ago

Her mouth does look kind of weird here. I'm not sure I'd call it a pitbull mouth, but you know, tomayto tomahto. Maybe it was from making out with Worf.

I don't know how to do screen caps on the phone.
Seriously though, I have watch this episode at least three times and don't really know what happens because her highly wide mouth is distracting. It looks almost like one of the characters from one of the old Batman movies.
Possibly the Joker Character.
I think it was Jack Nicholson. Total creeped me out.
Seriously.

Lol if you google it there is even an image of her photo next to one from the really old Batman series of the joker!
Lol.
I don't know how to put the address on here though from my phone.

That's the picture. Michael Dorn wanted juicer, blacker lips. Hence, the lip job.

Why so serious Nak?(lol),I said this a couple of months ago that it looks like Sirtis had some plastic surgery because her mouth looked like if she was the Joker

[–] Nakitaakita-1 7 years ago

Well, I was watching an episode and her pit bull looking mouth was so distracting I couldn't concentrate on the plot.
And let's face it, most of the plots aren't Alfred Hitchcock or any thing.

No not really plus in the case of Hitchcock he would often make the viewer an accomplice in telling him the plot before the main protagonist knows what is going on adding tension for the viewer.

Yeah, I guess she did kind of look like the Joker.

I don't remember this, but I do remember an episode where she was floating along in a horzontal, sort of "Superman" position (suspended on wires), and the camera was directly behind her, emphasizing her extra-wide behind in that unflattering unitard she always wore.
