Maybe it's just me or maybe times have changed, but this episode highlighting Geordi LaForge is one CREEPY show! Back a season ago, Geordi created a holo version of the engines' designer, Leah Brahms. Oddly, he became infatuated with her and so when he learns that the REAL Dr. Brahms is coming to see him and the ship, he is excited. When she arrives, Geordi cannot contain his excitement--and he continually makes overtures towards her. Perhaps 'overtures' isn't quite right--more like sexual harassment by his creepy tone and sense of entitlement. I could EASILY see a woman macing a guy who acts like this or getting him fired or reprimanded--and you'd think this sort of boorish behavior would not be tolerated in the 24th century!
As for the rest of the show, it's a pretty dull affair involving some flying space slug...or something. All in all, a very poor and incredibly creepy episode--one that has only gotten creepier since its debut.
