I noticed it when watching "the outcast." I like it. Then I did some googling and found there are 3 episodes where he has one, but couldn't find specific other episodes. Anyone know the other 2?
It wasn't his character. Now if he was bald and went on a few more away missions involving phaser fights, he could pull it off.
A Fistful of Datas, where Data notices that Geordi is growing one. Then there's The Quality of Life soon after, where it's shown in a later stage of growth. Beverly tries to bet Riker, Geordi, and Data (yes, Data) to shave off their beards if she beats them at poker, but the game was interrupted. Then in the movies, there's Insurrection and Nemesis, but those are a bit more stylized.
I read he grew it out in one episode for his wedding. Does anyone know the surgery he needed which limited his role in Best of Both Worlds Part II?
It was Riker, Geordi & Worf in that game - all three with beards. Data only had a beard in 'The Schizoid Man'.
coming to think of it, did anyone had a beard in Kirk's ship? EDIT: oops, wrong board, this is TNG's.
Thanks. It was also noted that they fleshed out some of his appearance in the episode with stock footage, but I've never been able to notice any.
Some of the cutaways to Geordi speaking around the briefing room table were filmed separately, I think. Not sure if that counts as stock footage, as such, though.
"Stock footage" means the footage is in-stock, as in pre-existing. Shooting something separately from principle photography is a pick-up.
