I'm with Josh on this point, but then, my taste in women hasn't changed,
and Troi definitely doesn't fit it.  What annoyed me wasn't so much her
acting, but her character:

Picard:  Hail them, Mr. Worf.
  * Chime *
Worf:    Hailing frequencies open, sir.
  * Sound of photon torpedoes hitting the Enterprise *
Riker:   Incomiiing!
LaForge: Shields are down to 60%.
Wesley:  Auuugh!  Nosebleed!
Troi:    I sense hostility, Captain.

If you accepted that she was cast as a dingbat psychobabblist, the acting
was dead-on.
