Damn a lot of people die on this show. Even Riker and Troi's son? What was the point of having that character exist, just to be tragic dead backstory? So both Deanna and Lwaxana get to have a dead older child, therefore symmetry or something?

I pretty much knew That Character was as good as dead from the second it was announced he'd be on here, but then when Icheb died and the dead body in Seven's arms was him, I thought maybe I was wrong! How stupid am I!

RE: Thad

I think the point was that he could have been saved with some technology if it weren't for the synth ban. It's illustrating how this had wider ramifications than just cancelling Maddox's android research program.

They fridged him to make a point about how the ban on synths was bad. It felt kinda cheap to do that to the Troi-Rikers... I felt sad watching Deanna's grief, made me think how Sirtis lost her husband a couple of months ago.

For symmetry: Their daughter is called Kestra, like Deanna's sister!

This is Troi's second child to die though. Remember Ian? The ball of energy that impregnated her?
