Did Picard really want Lawaxanna?

I think he was being a little generous, but it's possible. As soon as she opens her gob, however, any possible attraction Picard may have had would quickly evaporate. Maybe if he were drunk or stoned enough, he might be more interested.
Because character matters in anyone. Charm, style, grace, generosity, courtesy, and wit all matter. Troi has none of that. What she has is her telepathy, and she wields it like a shield and a sword. And there is authority that comes from that power; just a word alone, true or otherwise, can wreck someone's reputation, if even for a short while. I think she probably does things like that to shield her own persona from the fact that only her daughter likes her. Personally, I think she's a psychopath. -

She wasn't all bad. Man, Wylde was really going on about her. That episode with David Ogden Stiers, the name escapes me at theHalf A Life, was fantastic.
RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great. -

I really like this theory but it's hard to have a definitive answer.
I think the strongest indications he does was in "Manhunt" where he is
so
thankful to Data for getting him away from the dinner (as if something would have definitely happened otherwise) and then at the end where he looks embarrassed at her reading his thoughts as if they were accurate.
