They could have made this a really good message, but unfortunately they ended it with Geordi going "well sorry I tried to be nice to you!" and it totally working on her.
It really hasn't aged well and especially hits different in 2026.
They did Geordi and Broccoli dirty.
They really, really did. Geordi in particular did not deserve the treatment the writers gave him with regard to his relationships with women.
Those episodes always felt very out of character.
Part of what is on Star Trek writers' minds are the lessons they are writing for those self-similar archetypes in our culture. Data goes through a lot of things an autistic person may go through, while Odo reflects a lot on someone who is masking and adapting their personality for their "duty" to being agreeable. Many characters embody a number of messages to multiple archetypes, and there is an impetus in "Hollywood" to do things like help very "Big Bang Theory" types how to avoid and get out of "pocket spaghetti" type situations.
Aye, re-watched recently and oof. And honestly, kid me coulda benefited from a better version on first viewing.
Not to mention he ends up married to her in "All Good Things..."
It was shit then too. Society as a whole just didn't care what a violation it was.
goerdi is not the only with with a kink, crusher has her ghosts.
Barclay is down to play too.
Troi likes having a child and having it abandon her after one or two days.
Can I have context?
This one time, Geordi made a holographic avatar of Dr. Leia Brahms, the chief architect of the Enterprise’s engines, to help get the ship out of a disaster situation. He developed a rapport with the holo character.
Fast forward to another episode and the real Dr. Brahms boards the ship and is nothing like the friendly holo character. As she’s diagnosing the ship’s engines for an upgrade she finds the holo program of herself before Geordi can stop her.
Awkwardness and poorly-aged life lessons ensues.
you skipped the best part.
he definitely fucked that hologram.
and by rapport we mean
You can have as much context as you need!
My god do I hope my Claude sessions are only stored locally....
They aren't, and they're probably being used to train the next model too. Your weird perversion will be dyed into the wool of the tapestry of its digital mind.
That's... That's just wonderful 🥹
Bro, I can read your Claude sessions. I ALSO think so highly of my sister's feet! I keep mine in a glass jar on my desk.
Oh wait, those are my Claude sessions...
why would you use claude for anything but coding drudge work?
And this Geordi is why we use encryption….
No you should be honest and authentic; its SMRT!
I remember when ingonito mode was what people were crazy about, and I never understood the hype because I've always just had the settings enabled to clear history, cache, any temporary files, and sometimes cookies (picking and choosing which to keep) to be deleted upon closing the browser because I grew up with limited storage and that stuff could take a lot of space when you only had a 10gb hard drive. Which is what incognito mode was doing.
I remember the trans porn I would download on the family computer. Those were the good old days, when you didn't have the forebrain to have the forward thinking skills to know that even back then they were collecting all the data. Definitely...made some mistakes...
