she is still a tragic character - that maniac everyday face everyone see and react with tactful irritation is actually hiding an internal pain which was revealed few times in the shows. and tbh that worked well for both lwaxana’s character design and portrayal by majel.
I think most of the dislike is sympathetic. We love her as a character because she’s interesting and kinda wild. But if I had to deal with her in real life I’d probably react a lot like many of the other characters do.
I didn’t like Lwaxana or Q episodes initially, but by the time I finished the series the first time, I found myself getting excited every time one of them showed up.
I really liked them together. Then again I’m one of, apparently, like 10 people on this planet who liked Lwaxana
A hyper sexual psychic with no filter, what’s not to love?
Do you think Picard ever cringed at the computer for reasons he couldn’t explain to himself?
I get it.

she’s star trek’s annoying aunt <3
Never moreso on DS9, when she was faced with giving up her child.
Fun aunt edit:

There is a book where they are a thing. I’ve only read a few Star Trek books and they were all about Q.
