    Remember how everyone shit on Barclay for being a creep until Geordi got busted for making a virtual fuck doll of that one physicist lady? Good times.

      I think the funniest part of that is in the last episode of TNG there is a throw away line that heavily implies they got married and had kids.

      No, because neither of those things happened.

      They discovered Barclay’s unhealthy holodeck fantasies, and while the crew was made uncomfortable by exploring them, that’s how they found out he had issues that need treatment. No character ever holds it against him.

      Geordi had a problem with the Enterprise’s engines that he wanted to discuss with the engineer that designed them. He had the holodeck simulate said engineer–who turned out to be a woman. And then the computer simulated the engineer flirting with him. Which then got replayed and taken out of context.
