** It's strange that Troi never really interacts with Geordi in this episode, since he's lived with a disability his whole life. [[FridgeBrilliance Which might be the point]]: since Geordi was born disabled, he never had to experience ''becoming'' disabled, thus Troi likely didn't think he would empathize with her situation more than the rest of the crew.

** Troi also isn't actually the only empath or telepath on board. There's at least one Vulcan: Dr. Selar.

** Troi also isn't actually the only empath or telepath on board. There's at least one Vulcan: Vulcan (Dr. Selar) and probably more. This situation absolutely calls for a mind meld, but that would have revealed too early that her senses were overwhelmed.
%% Please remember that
Dr. Selar.Selar being a poor telepath is from the Expanded Universe, not the series.

* MemeticMutation: The scene where Troi gets all her empathic powers back at once has seen some [=NSFW=] manipulation. If you really, really like ToiletHumor, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnvDAmbx-G8 here's one.]]

* SheReallyCanAct: Not that Marina Sirtis ''couldn't,'' of course; she just rarely came off as strongly as other members of the main cast. That said, "The Loss" is one of her most powerful performances in the franchise.
