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.
Dude struck out twice with Julie Warner from Tommy Boy.
It wasn’t until his interaction with Zalkonian that he developed the confidence to interact with her without being an asshat.
That second image of Geordie is gold
I wanted to include this shot but I couldn’t think of a clever enough line
Neither could Geordi. She was tossing him softballs of conversation starters, but all he could do was fumble his words. Tommy at least had the confidence to be himself, buffoonish though that may be.
