Geordi has to be worse than Wesley. The crew is facing fatal radiation exposure and he's trying to have a relationship with a holodeck character. He's absolutely creepy.
I'm sure it wasn't meant to come off that way. And to be honest it doesn't seem like he wasted much time with it.
She is much prettier there but the severe looking "bun" in TNG was not an overly attractive look for her.
Susan Gibney is MUCH better looking than Leah Brahms! Those pix prove that pretty much. (IMO anyway!) IIRC Leah Brahms turned out to be an icy cold woman when Geordi actually met the REAL Leah Brahms, unlike the holodeck's version of her.
Buns are about the least attractive hairstyle on a woman. But...you can unpin it. Bun or no bun, Susan Gibney was and is a hot chick.
She was almost cast as Janeway for Voyager, talk about turning down a good thing. She would have been awesome on Voyager.
While it would have been a good paycheck, nothing good has come of Voyager. All the actors on that show haven't done anything worth a shit since then.
Kate Mulgrew's doing well for herself in Orange is the New Black. But besides her,this. Although besides Patrick Stewart (who is probably just as well associated with Prof X as Picard), how many actors actually break out from their Trek role if they didn't have an established career beforehand like Scott Bakula?
Brent Spiner had that memorable cameo in Independence Day. ...that's all I got. ETA: Colm Meaney had several parts, but he was never headline material anyway.
Well to be fair, haven't a number of modern former Trek actors and actresses focused more on directing?
