MikeJF posted:Also when Riker did it it wasn't a loving realdoll of a real person. Also it was explicitly designed to be the most lifelike hologram possible and also to be exactly his type. It's still a weird dumb male fantasy thing, but she was at least supposed to be something Riker could fall for. Geordie, meanwhile, basically just falls head over heels for a technical manual with boobs.

There's a weird alternate reading where you could imagine the Enterprise computer itself creating the Leah Brahms hologram as an expression of its love for Geordi. Sort of like the Futurama episode where Bender dates the ship. Oh, and Jeb, I can't wait till you get to Galaxy's Child and see the follow up to all this nonsense.

I finished S7 yesterday and... I am somewhat sad about it all. That's it. Yeah, I got the movies still but it's not the same. Even tho S7 had some really bad lows it picked things back up near the end and All Things was a great note to go out on. I'll miss the aesthetics of the whole thing - it just screamed 90's. Which I love. The house from The Survivors on the burned out planet was peak 90s imo. I won't miss Troi's loving terrible hair choice near the end though.  I feel ya Piard. Eugh.

Worf's discommendation, Romulan tensions, Klingon power struggles, Sela, Hugh... Seasons 4-5, they started tiptoeing towards serialization with payoff on all things set up in the first three years. Plots still had to be resolved by the end of the episode (imagine if they'd been able to do the Klingon Civil War for a full season, DS9 style) , but they were definitely experimenting with ongoing storylines. I know, Boob Trap sprung.

My favourite part of "Booby Trap" is how on a ship with a crew of over 1000 people, they had one guy working on the plan to save everyone from immenent death. Like, seriously, what was Data doing that was more important?

Data was on the holodeck trapping birds, trying to figure out what was so special about the booby that it was the namesake for all traps.

My favourite thing about Geordi's dalliance with holodeck Brahms is that there's a subsequent episode ("Sarek", I think) where he gets into an argument with Wesley and Wesley gets in a bit of a  in when he says, "Well, at least I don't need to use the holodeck to meet women!" and the only response Geordi's able to muster is, "What did you say?!" Then he punches Wesley in the face. Everybody wins.

drat TNG on Netflix spoiled me since it was the remastered version. DS9 looks like grease was all over the camera, yuck. Also, I can't separate crazy Avery Brooks from this character and it's really jarring.

When I was little, I liked Geordi. I thought his glasses were cool and I liked how he solved problems. As I grow, I believe Riker had the right of it. Get laid, make friends, grow a beard: These are the things that matter.

You are wrong, plasma conduit breath.. the IndieGoGo DS9 documentary "What We Left Behind" is promising to provide some DS9 remastered clips and possible re-render of certain CGI screens in HD.

I rewatched Cogenitor last night, it's a really good example of how effective Enterprise can be when their act is together. There are some good officer dressing-downs in Trek history, but Archer and Trip's last scene might be the best one. It's just brutal.

Worf just revealed it's a crazy feat of science and throwing money away because of its elaborate weather control system; so it seems like the federation is spending mad dosh & manpower for a gently caress planet. Couldn't it be used for other, better things? Like putting the Bajorans back in concentration camps??
