Synopsis by Hal Erickson
In her third Next Generation appearance, Majel Barrett reprises her role as Deanna Troi's telepathic mother Lwaxana. The plot gets under way when Picard offers asylum to Dr. Timicin (David Ogden Stiers) from Kaelon Two, whose tradition demands that he commit suicide when he reaches the age 60. The already tense situation between the Enterprise and the rulers of Kaelon Two is exacerbated when Lwaxana falls in love with Timicin. Written by Peter Allan Fields and Ted Roberts, "Half a Life" made its American TV bow on May 11, 1991.
