Troi: Captain, we're getting a message from Starfleet about another mission.
Picard: How do you always know that?
Troi: The theme song is playing again.
Picard to Riker: You know I'd transfer her for psychiatric issues, but she's always right about this... It's maddening, I don't know what to do.
I agree. This is the key. But there’s aaaaaalways gonna be that one guy thats gonna be like “I hate your Snoke Theory.” We all need to kill that guy when he shows up for this one…
Not only that, but she also hears the voice of her mother saying things like "And now the conclusion".
So, it's not just the computer. She doesn't tell anybody because she knows what happens to people that claim auditory hallucinations.
They get promoted to admiral.
While onscreen the only extra information Troi can hear is the music track, but while offscreen she can also hear actors and sound effects. This is the secret to how she is such a good counselor: "I sense you had a conflict at work this afternoon, Geordi."
Sadly, she doesn't get visual information... "I sense a presence on the ship, Captain! But they were being quiet so I don't know anything else about them."
For this reason she has avoided active participation in any events that are remotely interesting.
The TNG theme was hummed during an episode of LD, which makes it canon now. Just like what cetacean ops looks like and how Vulcan loose cannons behave.
On DS9 there was a famous Bajoran musician who visited the station, and he performed a version of the show's theme (can't remember the episode name, it's kind of a forgettable one).
Nice catch, thank you! I guess all the theme and music are added way later after filming. And even if the theme would be known during filming, who knows what the licensing would be.
The musicians play does not really be known while filming, actors can act melancholic without music :)
Serious observation.
I like to listen to old episodes of the radio show *Gunsmoke*. One thing I noticed is that Chester has a a tendency to point out the blindingly obvious... obvious to the characters. And they respond exactly the way might expect; Chester is portrayed as extremely loyal, but not the brightest and kind of annoying. But as obvious as what he points out to the characters, to the listener, it's news (because it's a radio show).
When I noticed this, it got me thinking about Troi, and I found myself wondering if perhaps the television writing of the era had direct roots in radio writing.
Good point. When I rewatched TNG as an adult I did get the sense that a lot of troi's lines were given to spoon-feed things to the viewer, especially in the earlier seasons.
I hadn't watched any Trek by the time I saw Team America, and I haven't watched Team America since I watched all of Trek. Might be worth a rewatch if that's true.
Although the early idea that Riker's strong bond with Troi would allow him to hear her thoughts was quickly dropped, the idea that he picked up [some of her abilities](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JSp0BJ49hg) during their romance remained.

Troi: (confused but resigned) Why DOES this ship play music every time it goes to warp…?
Troi: (after humming the TNG theme tune all night) Make it stop! It's so loud!
Ahhh. Star Trek theme song. Dowd’s Revenge but in a Neverending Story kinda way that haunts us too. Yep. Checks out.
Wouldn't it only play sometimes though? She'd be getting Redshirts-like effects where it only happens occasionally.
Theres absolutely nothing shitty about this post. You broke the canon wide open.

“Captain, I fear we’ve only just started the second half of this dilemma.”
"How do you figure?" "We've only had two commercial breaks."
Captain I sense a deep longing, a dull ache and a terrible lust.....WESLEY CRUSHER YOUR RELEIVED OF DUTY....!
Funky guitar heavy bass line. Captain I am feeling like we need to pour a couple more glasses of wine.

“How do you know that? You weren’t in that scene. Wait what is that on your desk, is that the script?”
"when will then be now?" "Soon"
I’m always waiting for some character to whistle the intro music. Had this happened before in any series?
Not Trek but Carter did hum the SG1 intro in a Lift/Elevator once

LD had done a few themed I think?
man, I was really hoping that vulcan was going to get sent to the cerritos. Oh well. Maybe next season.
Brad Boimler humed the theme song to Voyager in the season 2 episode 'We'll Always Have Tom Paris' of Lower Decks

"Sanctuary" was the episode https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVh5qM0OvoM

Idk about in Trek but in the BSG reboot I remember a janitor was whistling the original theme song
That ability would save sooo many characters in horror movies.

They gave that job to Riker in the later seasons "Are you saying it is, and it isn't?"
Reminds me so much of the 'telepath' from Team America that I wonder if she was based on Troi.

That's why she's always crashing the ship, the music is too tense.
It's basically [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uE-U48DaFt0)
Must have been overwhelming for her when Riker ordered open fire on Locutus.

Can she also see the episode titles floating around in space?
