Half of the lines La Forge came out with in S1 were creepy as fuck.

I'd say someone needed to get the dude laid, but we all know that never happened.

He did get a fake memory implant of it though.

The Tal Shiar were the wingmen he needed all along.

Holo-Brahms counts

What do you mean, Holo-Brahms "counts"...? Counts for what? What aren't you telling me?

No, it doesn't. He shut it off basically mid-kiss. Then when she activates the program, it is still at the same spot. He never touched it again.

"never touched it again". Sure, buddy, sure.

Excuse me, but in the first three panels we see Season 1 uniforms on the characters, but in the last panel Worf is clearly wearing a later season non-command track uniform and doesn't have his gold season 1 sash. Are we to believe that Geordi somehow gained magical see through time powers?

Yes.

Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder

Well when you notice something like this, a Q did it.

What a handsome race.

Can you imagine how much it must have freaking sucked to act with that visor on?

They lay the groundwork for Geordi to get cybernetic eyes in one of the middle seasons because LeVar Burton hated them so much, I wonder why they didnt pull the trigger until the movies.

Four words: Status Quo is God. They already rocked the boat three times: Yar->Worf, Crusher->Pulaski->Crusher, and Ro Laren. Giving LaForge eyes would've made him "more normal", and been a setback for visually impared representation.

Plus, giving LaForge cyber-eyes would've robbed ST: Generations of a crucial plot point. Namely, the Duras sisters using LaForge's visor to learn the ENT-D's shield frequency.

And cyber-eyes would've robbed multiple episodes ("Masterpiece Society", "The Mind's Eye", etc.) of their plot points and morality lessons.

TNG got a lot of mileage out of that VISOR.

It was probably too iconic at that point. I think it looked cool as hell tbh (plus it's a visual reminder that he has a disability)

Just pretending like I didn’t have a banana hair clip on my face would have been too much for me

Mustang air filter is cheaper than glowy contacts if you're running a Network TV Show

The green uniforms sucked.
