TNG S4E16 Galaxy’s Child
This episode has so much cringe in it.
Geordie setting up a meeting and trying to make it into a date is a lot. Plus omitting that he had the computer summarize her files to resolve a critical crisis, while using the information he got from her file in discussing with her is not good.
Brahms does an excellent job letting him down and putting up firm boundaries.
But oh god, when she discovers the holodeck program, and then Geordie rant!
It’s tough to watch in a totally different way than the Quark Gender swap episode.
I haven’t seen all Star Track yet. Only gotten to Next Generation for now.
But the episode with Kirk and Miri just felt wrong for me
I still wonder, if Voyager would have been better or worse with her as Janeway.
“Nerdy guy who has trouble with women” has been a decent premise for a story for a long time. It even allows for some character development.
But the way it was handled in TNG with Geordi was terrible. Geordi, and LeVar Burton deserved a lot better than that.
You’ve named some strong contenders, but don’t forget the episode where Kes goes into heat
DS9 S04E20 “The Muse”
Jake Sisko does like… alien drugs. While that girl keeps rubbing his head and is feeding on his brain power/creativity. Been awhile.
No argument there. Getting older and rewatching each series after several years has made her one of the best recurring characters.
