I love it when we get more development for characters that really need it, and as enjoyed Reading Rainbow as a kid, I have always liked LeVar Burton, and he can be so dang good as LaForge!<br /><br />Good stuff for Worf and Picard too, and I do love having some geopolitical (astropoltical?) drama thanks to the Romulans. Some of these situations definitely make us think, which is a very good thing.Morellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08852528242739450099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-84208412695716055852015-08-02T17:36:50.690-04:002015-08-02T17:36:50.690-04:00Billie, I don't think I judged Worf too harshl...Billie, I don't think I judged Worf too harshly myself - he managed to make the audience sympathize with him and I think that was a challenge. <br /><br />Trousers - not surprised I'm not the first to make the comparison!

A good episode for his character, definitely. For Worf, too. I couldn't quite blame him for not donating. Especially after the Romulan called him filth. Worf isn't a human, after all.<br /><br />Andreas Katsulas as Tomalak! <br /><br />What happened to Beverly's hair?

He acted out his fantasy of being him in a (fairly bad) Trek book called Vendetta.<br /><br />https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=nOuINY6ymBAC&pg=PT52&lpg=PT52&dq=geordi+don+quixote&source=bl&ots=ihAO-rhfJP&sig=dnRJTmdAU0pwC2fVLKr2toOXfOg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CCEQ6AEwAGoVChMI_J3wuPn7xgIVybMUCh3W9QH1#v=onepage&q=geordi%20don%20quixote&f=false<br /><br />Trousers_of_timenoreply@blogger.com
