As a man in the 21st century with a healthy libido, I am forgiving Geordi LaForge for his 'disney-like' holodeck crush on Dr. Brahms. If I had a holodeck it would be an absolute embarrassment to see what type of debauchery I would get into. The show itself frames the relationship as being one of admiration and love rather than a lustful obsession in keeping with Starfleet Boy Scouts in space tradition.
It's never a good idea to put a person on a pedestal. This is a neat exploration on dealing with expectation versus reality. I feel pretty bummed out for Geordi in this one but I appreciate the bitter sweet ending. There are a few telling conflicted looks between Brahns/LaForge that suggest a potential for this working out a different way ---- but then Brahns speed walks away to call hubby.
We have a black eye moment for Starfleet and Picard with the accidental killing of a pregnant space perogy. After killing the mother, Picard decides to be a dead beat dad and just leave the alien baby to fend for itself without observing it for a while. OH NO you don't! The alien baby imprints upon the enterprise and Picard comes to the realization that he is responsible for rearing the space perogy. Thankfully, the enterprise doesn't just toss the baby into the wild but fortuitously they encounter some foster perogy's and thanks to a Brahns/LaForge collaboration we get a happy(ish) ending.
I like the sci fi elements and watching LaForge dealing with a Brahms who is very different then his ideal perception of her.
