It's always a good time to watch Captain Picard squirm due to Luxanna's constant sexual advances.
I think the episode would have benefited from more awkward scenes of Luxanna being that crazy aunt with no self awareness instead of spending time in the holodeck spinning wheels for 10 minutes.
As a younger man, I was bored whenever we got a Luxanna Troi episode but as I have become the seasoned beautiful man I am today, I find a strong headed older woman kind of sexy. Life is weird that way.
The episode suffers from some pacing issues --- especially with the introduction of much of the holodeck scenes that seem specifically designed to use up time.
I suppose there is only so much you can do with an episode that revolves around Luxanna trying to bed Picard ---- perhaps a relevent B-Plot?
Peppered laughs throughout elevate this out of bad territory to average.
