Counsellor Troi didn't get many episodes focused on her during the show's run, and those that she did weren't always all that great. This is a bit of an exception, it gives Marina Sirtis a lot more to work with and she has to show a lot more range than usual. I thought she handled it pretty well.
It would be funny that she reacts to her loss of powers by becoming a bit of an unpleasant person if it wasn't so sad. Personally, I like any exploration of the Riker/Troi relationship and you know things are getting serious when he calls her "imzadi" (which if you're not paying attention, almost sounds like he's saying "I'm sorry" with a funny accent).
The Troi/Crusher argument is great - and shocking to see Deanna being so aggressive - while Whoopi Goldberg's scene is wonderful.
The adventure solving the problem of the 2D aliens is way too full of technobabble. It's almost a shame that Troi recovers her powers at the end, with no lasting effect on her character.
