lmao.
and the weird thing is that's the second time in two days I've seen that saying mentioned, the first time was in relation to Knuckles from Sonic the Hedgehog!
What kept the VISOR on?

I have to confess, I was prematurely hopeful this topic was about what kept it powered lol
Also, it's a little vague how it stayed on Geordi's head in-universe too. He has slightly protruded, glowing domed implants, that it seems to attach to, via indents in the apparatus, but it's not really said how. Do they just click in place? That would explain why it's so easily knocked off. I'd like to think there's some kind of energy field creating the sensory link that might provide some attachment too

Yes, creating a Pointing field that creates an electromagnetic field interacting with the bodies natural electromagnetic output creating an attachment point.
I think he said in an interview or something that he wasn´t actually looking THRU it but more like under it.
Yeah, kind of like Gary Lockwood in TOS when Gary Mitchell's eyes turned silver. He had to wear contacts but also look "under" them to actually see.
Which worked marvelous because it made him look extremely condescending and arrogant.
Which Geordi was at times. Let's face it. I know some fans give him slack when he exploded in anger at Scotty but a large part of that was fueled by Geordi's arrogance and belief he was the undisputed king of his hill.
IDK to me Geordi never looked condescending or arrogant.
To me Geordi just looked like he was blind.

It was his attitude more than his face. But Gary Mitchell's evolving smugness and hatred for regular humans was truly creepy. Gary Lockwood nailed that performance.
Again I'm not really seeing it, Geordi always seemed remarkably inoffensive to me.
Yeah he was a bit of a dick in Hollow Pursuits, but pretty much everybody was turned a bit more dickish than usual in that episode and he tried to help once Guinan pointed explained the situation to him.
[monotone]The power of the script compelled them.[/monotone]
I don’t find LaForge to be arrogant in the slightest. He’s highly competent but extremely personable and probably the most approachable of the TNG lot, including Troi.
Geordi is a very likeable guy with occasional moments of anger where he'll suddenly snap at someone for ruining his Sherlock Holmes holodeck adventure or whatever. But that makes sense I guess seeing as the VISOR leaves him in constant pain.
Yeah...that´s what constant pain does to you. My fiancee has multiple sclerosis and is in constant nerve pain. He sometimes snaps at people for no reason too.
Are we talking about the guy who snapped out and got offended because a woman pointed out to him that it's not nice to use someone's image without their permission to act out sexual fantasies and then feel entitled to replicate them in real life? That "approachable" and "likeable" guy?
...Geordi didn't act out any sexual fantasies. As far as I can recall, the computer made the holographic representation behave a certain way with no guidance/prompting from him; after the crisis was averted, he never revisited the program.
