Did Geordie marry a REAL girl?

[Oddish]

That man was creepy and everything about him lit up my spider-sense. Not a fan of that character, I wouldn't even trust him around my brother.

As an ASD individual (like Barclay probably is), I can tell you that that is very typical. Often, it feels like we live in a world that simply wishes we weren't there.

And as for his holodeck sims, can you honestly say that you've never had a fantasy that you'd be ashamed and humiliated if anyone found out about it?

Did you even read my post??? The answer to your question is there.

My addendum was intended to counter the expected blizzard of "Barclay IS a creeper because he used a hologram version of Deanna Troi as a plaything" posts. It wasn't aimed at you specifically.

I wouldn't assume any of that, because there's no indication that anything like that ever happened, except this future version of Geordi marrying the real Leah, because it's stated rather ordinarily that they have 2 kids growing or grown, & not some holographic family he's distubingly designed off of a real person as the template mother... A mother who is actually running the Daystrom Institute, which is a pinnacle achievement in the real Leah's field, who I imagine might take issue with some hologram of her holding that position, instead of her. So is that a fantasy too?

I doubt elder Picard would be humoring the fantasy of a nut job that divergent. It is a pretty nonsensical turn of events for Geordi. Weak & unflattering writing to be sure, but plausible. Her 1st marriage didn't work out. He ended up being her 2nd. No big whoop

What if the real Leah died?

The Daystrom institute made the hologram to replace her corpse.

And Geordi seduced the hologram, who had no idea about their previous misunderstanding.

 

[Guy Gardener]

I expect you'd either ejaculate or go limp. Neither seems like a particularly positive outcome. But hey, whatever turns your crank.

If they crank it, they are definitely going to hell.

 

[JirinPanthosa]

Geordi's just shy and awkward, I think a lot of people here (Including myself) can relate.

Still doesn't explain Picard humoring him about the two kids he claims

I honestly don't need to explain it away. Geordi & Leah... eventually... Ok... I guess. Weirder shit has happened lol

It was a non sexual misunderstanding.

Same with Geordi.

Geordi and Barclay are sweet and innocent, and it is all the normal $$ckwits who are transposing their filthy assumptions onto their PG play ground.

A lack of perspective, can be a degree of stupid too reactionary to cope in the real world.

The EMH had kids.

IN the british TV series Humans, which is about Robots, near the end they started making child sized robots for grief stricken parents who had lost their children, which is the plot of AI?

Did Gepetto keep having sex with his puppets after they started to come alive?

Pardon me miss, but I've never done this, with a . . .

Personally, I think this whole thread is a little sick.

Parts of it certainly went in odd directions.
My thoughts are pretty clean, though.
Geordi married a real woman.
Her name was Leah.
She might or might not have been Leah Brahms (maybe her marriage didn't work out, or her husband died).
Doesn't matter.

 

[Ryan Thomas Riddle]

As long as Geordi thinks she's real, what does it matter?

Geordi knows the difference between a sapient hologram and a body pillow. He actually can do the math to discern between real and automated.

Picard can't do the math.

He has to take the math on faith.

Smart people told him that Data is real, and the Enterprise D's computer is not, even though they can both conduct a conversation with him and they can both pass a Turing Test.

Also...

Picard still has wet dreams about Minuete.

 

[ThankQ]

That's the question though... was the Hologram sapient or was it the equivalent of some guy marrying his body pillow?

When I figure out which one is worse, I'll let you know.

Although...

Geordi knows how to make a Moriarty Class Hologram

"Computer, create a woman capable of sleeping with me..."

Probably on Earth. If there's no money, then there can't really be prostitution, since prostitution is by definition the trading of money for sex.

If the Federation actually does use money, then it's probably legal, regulated, and taxed.

In a world where holodecks exist, there'd be no need for prostitution.

As for Leah, people keep forgetting one thing: It wasn't Geordi's idea to create the hologram. The computer did that for him. All Geordi did was make things more realistic (update the program with the real Leah's personality profile) so she'd be easier to talk to and work with.

Geordi should have immediately deleted the hologram when the real Leah came aboard, though.

Mudd's Women.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Mudd's Women.

TOS didn't have holodecks.

And "Mudd's Women" wasn't about prostitution. The guys in that ep wanted wives.

In that ep, Harry Mudd was a marriage broker (which is entirely legal and proper), not a pimp. Ever hear of Here Come The Brides?

 

[XCV330]

TOS didn't have holodecks.

But TAS did, and Discovery had something like it.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

^ Those were much more primitive. The DSC one, for example, used rather crude holograms, only suitable for military training maneuvers.

You couldn't have sex in one of those.

 

[ThankQ]

TOS literally had sex slaves. I think we can stop splitting hairs.
