In Indistinguishable from Magic her husband is dead so Leah replaces him with Geordi. While it isn’t canon, it shows a credible path for that pairing to come around.
When did Geordi find time for a family?
- Thread starter Tomalak
- Start date
I liked Geordi and Leah on the holodeck, but I stopped seeing them as a possible romantic couple after they met in real-life. Novels (and one now defunct alternate timeline) aside, Leah is already a married woman with a busy career of her own. She placed Geordi clearly in the friend zone, IMO.
I've kind of held a view that the Enterprise-E never strayed too far from Earth, or was never deployed on a long multiyear exploration mission, and that Geordi started his family during that time. I'd like to think that the mother of his children was someone he didn't see coming (no pun intended).

To me it makes sense that when her husband dies or they get divorced they might someday see what is a friendship evolve into a romance. That kind of happened with Kira and Odo on DS9. It's possible that Geordi also wasn't sitting around pinning for her. He had girlfriends and romance but none of them worked out in the long run. It was just a case of timing and people finding each other later in life. Not love at first sight or anything like that but a more realistic kind of romance.
"At least I don't have to find my women on the holodeck!"

Actually, I think that "Booby Trap" gets treated unfairly in light of Geordi's behavior toward Leah in "Galaxy's Child". "Booby Trap" was a great concept episode, about falling for somebody you've never met in a virtual environment. Geordi didn't ask for the situation in "Booby Trap," it was a Moriarty-like case of the computer throwing him a curve ball.

That's even creepier...!

There's "Guy being Guy," and then there's "Dude, STOP!"
Realistic is debatable. It's just as realistic that Geordi and Leah didn't hook up, IMO.
No, it doesn’t.
Even if it does, it isn't shown in episodes, which makes it completely unbelievable for Leah to end up with Geordi based on what is known in on screen.
That's true as well but I think the fun idea is they did hook up and maybe we get to see Susan Gibney again. Or you can throw in a twist on it by saying she was a surrogate mom who helped both Geordi and his wife out because she couldn't have a child and they were all friends. We know how Geordi and Leah became friends buy maybe his wife worked under Brahams and Leah introduced her to Geordi and they ended up falling in love.
I wish he really had said that. It would have been one of the greatest lines in Trek history.
And I really, REALLY hope Leah Brahms isn't in this. I don't care if her first husband is dead, or if she and Geordi are now besties, I just don't want her in this. The creepy way they met, destroyed any desire I might have had to see her return. So I remain hopeful that whoever Sydney and Alandra's mother is, IT AIN'T HER.
edit: Is it Sydney, with a Y, or Sidney, with an I? I can't remember how to spell it
'I'm down with that.
He really did say it. He was just under the influence of Sarek's projected emotions.
He did? Well there you go then! 
A Leah that we don't know the last name of.
We also don't know where Geordi got the names of his daughters from. If they're from his side of the family, he could still choose them no matter the mother.
Geordi has a "wishbook" about his wedding and the names of kids. Any bride must be willing to follow it.
According to "All Good Things..." there was also no Enterprise-E yet, Picard and Crusher were once married, and Will & Deanna never did tie the knot. Outcomes of a possible future that didn't come to pass.
Does he have a son named Brett as well?
I'm just going to say it, but Leah's going to be controversial. Not going to post direct links but Geordi's been outright called an incel on reddit comments that have been highly upvoted because of the Leah thing.
A lot has evolved in real world sensibilities since 1994. The implication that Geordi was holding a torch for Leah even after he found out she was married is rightfully seen as more disturbing these days unless Leah literally went out of her way to contact Geordi via subspace message for a date after her husband died or she got a divorce. Since I doubt they're going to go into that sort of detail in the few episodes left of this show I wouldn't be surprised if Geordi's wife is left vague or is someone else entirely, with Geordi only getting the AGT names for his children from Picard's retelling of AGT's events to him.

Not really. First Picard as a show isn't popular enough that most will care. Most people won't remember her as a character or even care about the drama because, well Geordi just isn't a incel. Many people actually like those episodes. TNG has gotten some deserved flack over the years for things like not having any LGBTQ character and "Code of Honor" and some deserved behind criticism over RIck Berman but the Leah Brahms really does feel like a "Baby it's a Cold Outside" were people are really looking to hard to find problematic behavior. It is possible to over De-Construct old tv shows and movies. A few people will complain as usual on Twitter but in the end nothing will come from it.
