In "Galaxy's Child", the Enterprise is forced to kill a large, intergalactic alien creature and is soon misidentified as the mother of its newborn. Dr Brahms, Geordi's secret crush and creator of the Enterprise's engines, visits the ship and isn't quite the person Geordi imagined she'd be.
All the stuff with Geordi's secret admiration for this woman is pretty cringeworthy. It's completely inappropriate and unprovoked. The other plot involving the giant baby is a little better but never lives up to the stakes it puts forth.
But I enjoyed Brahms presence, I just wish her storyline would have been better. The fact that she just laughs off Geordi's weird advances and holodeck program didn't ring true to what we know of her character. She should have some disdain for La Forge at the end. Instead they're buddy-buddy...
