S07E03 InterfaceWe finally get some family appearances for Geordie though I wish there were more scenes with his dad and his (real) mom. It's disturbing that there's no resolution about his mom here!! No spoilers - please don't tell me if we find out in future what happened, but I REALLY hope we do. Poor Geordie.

Geordi's father is played by famous entertainer Ben Vereen. The probe isn't shaped like Geordi. You can see it in the reflection as he's looking at himself in the beginning. It's like a round barrel shape i believe.

All the best probes are Geordi shaped

You're right about La Forge, his back story was criminally under-explored. There was a pretty uneven treatment of main characters' backstories, but I can see why Picard's, Data's, and Worf's are disproportionately portrayed: Picard is the "main" character of the show, Data is unusual as a one-of-a-kind android, and Worf is Klingon and his backstory is wrapped up in the affairs of the Klingon empire as well. So it was nice he got a little more treatment here!

Geordie's "mom" was played by Madge Sinclair, who also played the captain of the Saratoga in Star Trek IV The Voyage Home.

This must not be a good episode because I don't have even a vague memory of it. Which means I skipped it on all subsequent viewings. The only other episode I had completely forgotten was the terrible clip show episode.

I just realized the actress who played Geordi's mother also played Eddie Murphy's mother in Coming to America. As for his father, he has Dr. in his name, but he's not a physician but an exobiologist.

And Eddie Murphy's queen mother in Coming to America.

The opening teaser showed us a pretty cool idea, but wasn't really utilized in an interesting way after. The pace of the episode was just too lethargic to be engaging, and when contrasting it with DS9's episode this week, well... One thing I do like though, is how in the Federation, 'missing' doesn't necessarily mean 'dead'. How often do starships go missing for a variety of reasons? Heck, the Enterprise technically 'disappeared' for 17 days when it was stuck in that time-loop (to say nothing of the Bozeman time jumping into them). Even though it was more the denial stage of grief affecting him, that Geordie would be holding onto some hope the Hera would still turn up doesn't seem too out of the ordinary in this universe.

I always felt like this was just way too slow, too.

Data wants SO much to be as human as he can be that being that "Ride or Die" friend is like 1000% critical to him, he NEEDS to be the best human he can be, and in this moment, that means that he has to break the rules for his friendship with Geordi, which he shows here that he is willing to do... I love their bromance <3

Lower Decks is so great.

The Excelsior, of course, being the new class of starship that was introduced in Star Trek III, later commanded by Sulu himself, as seen in Star Trek VI.

And the sad thing is, it's not even the worst offender of that this season.

The passing of one's mom is the worst thing that can happen to someone. If your mom is still with us, make sure she knows how much you love her, be as present as you can.

I guess Jen is watching on a smaller screen, because she didn't catch what the probe actually looked like when Geordi talked about seeing his reflection, or when an image of the probe was displayed on the controls Data was using. The actual probe looks nothing like Geordi. It looks more like a hovering Dalek. The idea is that Geordi perceives the world through the interface as if he were actually there. While his brain interprets actions of the probe, such as using a tractor beam, as if he were using his hands to move stuff.
