    See, that’s fine. If he had taken Guinan’s advice to heart and been himself with an actual woman, great! Hell, even if he’d gone with a holodeck character that was fictional or dead, fine! Date Marie Curie for all I care. But dating an “idealized” virtual copy of a fellow Starfleet officer is super creepy.

    Now, don’t get me wrong, I don’t think Geordi’s a creep. I just think the writers made him a creep for those two episodes, which is what bothers me.

      I think he was more himself on that holodeck than he’s ever been with a real woman, but I’m not sure that helps my case that he’s not a creep 😆

        Nah that’s fine. It’s good he found an outlet, dating on the holodeck itself isn’t a problem. Even if he’d had one of Quark’s holosmut programs, it might raise some eyebrows on a starship, but it would ultimately be harmless fun. It was his choice of companion that was creepy, same as Barkley when he had a Troi program.
