When did Geordi find time for a family?

[Tomalak]

Maybe he took some advice from Scotty and made the time?

Since we now know Season 3 is set in 2401, 22 years after Nemesis, Sidney must have been born pretty much within a year after the events of that film to get through three years of the Academy and graduate as an ensign.

We’ve not met Alandra yet, but she also appears to be an ensign from the photos released so far. Mica Burton is 28 but she could easily be playing younger - the two sisters could even be twins. So like Jack Crusher, it does all fit, but it means the crew of the Enterprise were insanely horny after Data got vaporised. Maybe Lwaxana visited again and gave them all the Betazoid menopause love virus.

There’s nothing in any of the films to suggest that Geordi wasn’t in a relationship the whole time, so I’d be pretty happy with a retcon that establishes that he was. Hopefully we’ll meet their mother too, or at the least find out who she was.

And does Bret exist in this timeline?

Going by past experience, he created them on the holodeck. In an upcoming episode, his daughter is revealed to have a mobile emitter concealed on her person. You heard it here first!

Leah Brahams was in charge of the refit to fix all the damage of the Enterprise after Nemesis. LaForge was surprised to see his old friend again. They worked closely getting the ship fixed. Turns out she and her husband divorced. She was feeling sad. He was feeling sad due to the death of Data. One thing led to another and they found each other falling in love with each other. Well they eventually got married and had 2 daughters. They lived happily ever after.

Or, he may have hooked up with Sonya Gomez.
Or he was already involved with someone around Nemesis, and ended up having a kid.
Or... he could be a single father (maybe he gave up on the idea of havinga partner and just ended up having a kid on his own via a surogate) - this would be interesting (not because I want him to be alone perpetually, but just because he thought he wanted a kid, but not necessarily a partner).

Keep in mind that during the movie era, we were getting a two-hour snapshot of the characters' lives every two or three years. There's lots of unseen time for things to have developed in the characters' lives.

Yep, that’s what I said in the OP - I love the idea that Geordi had a life beyond “aye sir”, “antimatter containment holding” etc.

Absolutely this. And Enterprise E as far as we can tell, had no provision for families, so literally any point after Generations he could have met someone. and we'd never have seen her, or the kids in the movies as they would have been elsewhere. In fact that likely makes the most sense as between the D and E he likely had downtimey, or at least not been posted on a ship, he could have been on Earth, commuting to Utopia Planitia or Spacedock (Worf did, as he went to Ds9 before the E was launched.)

 

[Jayson1]

Well it makes sense to me Geordi might stay around the Enterprise some more years before eventually moving on to a new job. If he is married to Leah perhaps one in which they can both be together and raise a family. As for his wife being Leah I think it makes sense that if the daughters name is still the same as it was from "All Good Things" where he was married to Leah then it would be the same in this future. I mean I guess he could have had final say on the baby names but that doesn't feel right.

 

[Nyotarules]

If he is married to Leah, the actress playing his daughter does not look bi racial. The old Hollywood method using black actors to play biracial people was insulting in the past, and would be insulting now.

I am not giving up my hope for the Leah Brahms/Geordi La Forge marriage just yet. I cannot accept that everyone's lives after NEM is terrible.

 

[The_Baroness]

The thing is, there was never any convincing sign that Leah and Geordi ever had any kind of future. She didn't feel the same way as him. I'd much rather he be with someone else.

That is a disgusting pairing of characters.

Indeed. Especially if Geordi takes a flag officer position and oversees Utopia Planitia he might not travel as much.

That is a disgusting pairing of characters.

Indeed. More positive for Geordi to move on.

They ended up a married couple in Q's anti-time future in "All Good Things."
Looking into non-canon, licensed Trek, Leah married Geordi and had the AGT/PICs3 children with him in the STO novel The Needs of the Many. They also formed a polyamorous marriage in the First Splinter timeline.

That is a disgusting pairing of characters.

If this is about first encounter between Leah and Geordi, bear in mind that Geordi had only told the computer to make holo-Leah more personable. The hologram then acted on her algorithms/programming. Geordie didn't use the holodeck to romance her.

An alternate timeline that never took place. And when it did, it still felt unbelievable because the one time we'd seen the real Leah prior she wasn't remotely interested in Geordi.

And the novels are even less canon than a fake future that never happened.

He can be happily paired with someone else, he could be married to Leah and 2 other people and Leah be his daughters adopted group mother. In the 25th century families should be diverse, there should be more interspecies and human interracial pairings instead of the black human must have black partner or white human must have white partner. Does TV still have to keep the USA 'good ole South' mindset happy? If so, screw them!

So, because of one timeline therefore they are fated in all timelines? O_o

Agreed. It's completely unbelievable, as well as the fact that Leah and Geordi ended more amicably and it was time for Geordi to move on, rather than holding on to this fantasy character.

It's funny to me, the one place that Star Trek absolutely fails is in human relationships and the healthy need to move on from a former interest. Geordi is shown pining away for Leah even though he never met her, and he was angry when she behaved coldly towards him in real life, rather than in accordance with his fantasy. Riker is upset when Troi decides to go through with an arranged marriage, and visibly sulks over it. Picard and Beverly must end up together in some way, despite the fact that they had 7+ years to try and never did.

Star Trek sometimes has very twisted view of relationships, and not in the positive sense.

 

[Jayson1]

I don't think people have watched those episodes in very long time and got a faulty memory of just how they really played out. Geordie wasn't going into the holodeck and having sex with the program on a daily basis. Heck it looks like he never even used it once after leaving because the setting was in the same place where it left it, one year later. Also she didn't work for him or under him. Brahms worked for Starfleet but wasn't in Starfleet.

All the information he had on her was voluntary given to him by the computer. He did try an woo her a little because he thought she would be like the holodeck version when she came aboard but when she rejected him he didn't keep pressing the issue. It was back to work and well she then went into the holodeck and got the wrong impression.

He was pissed. More likely less from being rejected and more from her bashing his engine changes from literally the first moment she walked off the transporter room. I mean her first words are basically "So your the person who has fucked up my engines" only you couldn't say fuck on Star Trek back then. Plus they got over it and were friendly at the end.

To top it off it was a interracial romantic situation which you know for 1990 and 1991 was not exactly common when show on tv. I mean it wasn't frowned on like in the deeper past but it wasn't exactly mainstream either, at least not on tv.

But he wasn't pinning for her. He did have a romance in season 6 in "Aquiel." I think the reason they got them together in "All Good Things" is people for most actually liked those episodes. Clearly writers did due them doing 2 of them. They had good chemistry together and better her than making up a new character out of thin air.
