I was watching ST TNG to let off some steam, and now I can't for the life pf me figure out the point she had being on the ship, let alone a chair on the bridge.

All she did was state the very obvious.

She sensed anger, tension and fear a lot. She could sense if people were lying. That's all they wanted her there for...

I can remember at leas 3 times that the Enterprise was infiltrated during her tenure on it. It seems to me her only point was to state the very obvious.

How do you think she feels about her position?

"You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space." -Johnny Cash

While that's true, her ability also made her a unique character.

Except Will became Mr. Troi.

She did help find Shinzon's cloaked Scimitar in Star Trek: Nemesis.

1) Betazoids are great Diplomats given their telepathy meaning she can inform Picard of possible unforeseen threats.
2) Every ship needs a Counselor. Mental Health is as important as physical health.

I can see her being a counselor, but I have no clue as to why she was on the bridge 98% of the time. I assume it was to avoid a sausage fest.

She isn't normally terribly essential, but she is pivotal at times. There are several points where she can tell when opposing ship captains are lying over a hail that made a difference in the outcome of an encounter. So, she is sometimes useful as a bridge officer.

I raise you a question:

Lt. Dan I brought you some ice cream. Lt. Dan.. ice creaaam!

She serves as a helper to picard because she can read other's emotions. This is helpful in tense situations when it is hard to tell if your enemy is lieing to you.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

The same reason for Seven of Nine.

While she often does state the obvious, there are also many times were she can outright tell when someone is lying or has a hidden malicious intent--stuff that's pretty useful to know if she can glean that.

No dawg remember that one time when those retarded spacers were like "we fix things" "we makes things go" and everyone but Troi thought they were harmless. Troi was like "they are up to no good" are something to that effect. She has a rockin' bod anyways. So who gives?
