Geordi's not so creepy after all
3/5: recommended

The alien baby plot is a little twee, but that's not the crux of the episode, which is to take a swipe at the inherent creepiness of the earlier Brahms episode and Geordi's general lady troubles. By attacking that holo-Brahms episode head-on, it manages to defuse its creepiness and redeem Geordi's apparent obsession all in one fell swoop, while adding something more to the Brahms character, and also show the fallibility of the Enterprise's computer. (Seldom is the low probability of the computer's estimates addressed.)

The Geordi and Brahms interaction is interesting, if somewhat fluctuating -- sometimes it seems they are becoming friendlier only to have them be antagonistic again in the next scene.

All in all, a good sequel episode, but it would be better with either a better Trek plot, or the lack of one altogether.
