Although this is a great episode in most respects Star Trek: Another generation The fans learned to hate the episode “Boby Trap”. It is because of the scary submlot in which Geordi Laforge begins to fall in love with the hologram colleague Leah Brahms, and does things crazy (we are talking about the inso: The Final Frontier) when he encounters a real woman in a later episode. However, these fans should know that it may always be worse: the originally hated conspiracy was supposed to interact with Brahms and eventually save the day.
Why Star Trek almost worsened the trap for boheans
Having a chief actor to participate in this story Cringeworthy Star Trek could very well worsened “booby trap”. Fortunately, we were spared when we had to see it thanks to Showrunner Michael Piller, who felt that “it should be Geordi, because Geordi is in love with the ship and that is the story of guys in love with his Cheva ’57.” Despite what some fans are thinking now, Piller saw it as any assassination of the character … Instead, he thought “he played in Geordi’s character who was always a gloomy guy around the women, but if he could only marry his car, he lived happily after him.”
As a huge star grass, it is difficult to imagine that Captain Picard spends all the time in the Holodecko next to Leah Brahms, especially because the crisis that faces the ship faces foreign Boboy trap) clearly requires the engineer’s talent. But maybe it’s not that crazy: in an earlier episode “11001001” he competed with Riker for the affection of hologram. Because the subpller, where he had his own flirtatious fascination with holographic Leah Brahms, may not be everything in place.
Plus finished version of this Star Trek The episode was supposed to insist Picardo to personally fly on the ship from the title trap. This gives us a fun view of Picard’s inner controller … His need to kick his experienced rudder to prove that his pilot skills have not disappeared. For this reason, the previous story in which Picard would consult with Leah Brahms, instead of leaving him an experienced engineer, in fact, seems to be so unlikely.
Although it is fun to imagine a story focused on Picard we could have, some Star Trek fans may be more interested in learning that “boby trap” has Geordi specifically because It is more comfortable around machines than women. Geordi is scary to the hologram Brahms in this episode and absolutely hostile to a real woman in “Galaxy’s Child” and these episodes disrupted certain fans because the stories did not deal with the usual personality of friendly engineering. However, no less than Michael Piller (probably the best writer TNG When it was) he saw it as a natural part of Geordi’s unfortunate arch rather than some dramatic remote.
Star Trek: Another generation Fans generally like “booby trap”, with the exception of some Geordi scenes that boldly go where it has not left before. It is not clear whether Picard would make these scenes less scary; Most likely, the character’s presence would only cause the captain to be less sympathetic. Thanks to the change of script, the reputation of Picard was spared, but Geordi suffered a violation of the core of the curriculum, from which she had never really recovered.
