It looks like Geordie had 2 daughters who followed him into Starfleet. The one we saw on this episode is Sydney, played by Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut. The other is Alandra, played by Mica Burton (Levar's daughter).

That is really cool, I dont hold Geordi's creepo-fest against Levar.

Can you imagine Leah coming back and discovering Geordi named his daughter after her? How romantic.
He could name his next daughter 'Restraining Order.'

Either way...I think it'd be hilarious because it would be so creepy and out of the ordinary. Like something that would happen on the first season of 'The Orville.'

Have some fun with it! Like when we see Geordi's home he has paintings of Brahms on the wall...or he married a woman who is either her twin sister or a completely unrelated woman who just so happens to look exactly like her.

Or an android Leah Brahms!! Oh man...Geordi commissioned Barclay to build him a Holo-Brahms that can leave the Holodeck like Voyager's daughter!!

Starfleet: "Yeah, we all know that Geordi's wife situation is creepy as all hell, but we live in an advanced, civilized society where people can sexually identify and associate as whatever they want. *shudder*"

In fairness...we deem Laforge's transgression as 'more than a little creepy' which, ya know, it was.

What Barclay did should probably have been prosecutable.

Barclay should probably have been riding out the back half of that 5-year mission in the Brig or something.

These are not apples to apples. Barclay was boning the bridge crew...Geordi manifested a 'girlfriend from Canada.'

I thought Ep.1 of season 3 was fun and a nice table setting. I fully expect two more episodes of table setting before we see it get really good. Although I will admit "Neo-Constution" was a bit weird. Just call it a constitution. Man that thing had the beefiest neck I think I've ever seen on a star fleet vessel.

Oh sweet, summer child...

We all know that Episode 4 is either going to launch this thing into an awesome final run-in or completely sewer the entire thing in a trainwreck of blazing glory.

Its Star Trek. Its a coin-toss. Rarely is there any 'happy middle ground.'

Do we want to do an over/under wager on Picard wakes up at the end and the whole thing was a dream/hallucination/All Good Things existence/hologram (<-never off the table) and Picard imagined the whole thing from his rocking chair in the Galactic Old-Folks Home for people with Space Dementia?

"I dreamed I was a Robot...and I saw Data again....oh Data...."

Does anyone have an official count of how many “different” characters Brent Spiner has played? Have any of them not been a Soong family member or android?

I think so...
  • Adam = Picard Season 2, living in the 21st Century.
  • Arik = Enterprise, lived in the 22nd Century.
  • Noonian = TNG, born in the late 23rd Century. Creator of Data and Lore, among other android prototypes.
  • Altan = Picard Season 1, born in the early 24th Century, son of Noonian, "brother" of Data and Lore.

That is one inbred family.

No, those were the Wheelers.



But while searching for that image, I found this which makes me wonder how they did not get Brent Spiner for that episode??

Add on . . . and a existential god like being with no concept of age and time who has been around since the big bang theory, just suddenly died.

And I suppose you could include all the characters in the holodeck from A Fistful of Datas, although I prefer to forget that episode completely.

I didn't hate the first episode - that's something.

Why did seven go back into Starfleet again? The Rangers premise had potential.

Shaw is a total dick, and awfully soon into the ep I'm like, 'yup, you'll die.'

That was the fun of the Orville. They had more ships then competent captains. So they basically said to Ed, you suck, your job performance is dire, but we have this ship see, so you can have it and god help you.

Speaking of the Barclay holo addiction stuff.

It has become much more relevant as a social issue today with deepfake pornography.

There are websites you can submit pictures of anyone and pay to get very convincing video of them generated.

It is something that will have to be dealt with before the technology gets too far ahead of laws.

Here is an article of a streamer who got caught paying for deepfakes of other streamers:

Can I add on though that Michelle Hurd who plays Raffi is an awful over actor. Like her performance in that episode was really cringy.
