Don't Act So Surprised, Geordi! [Small FE Spoilers Ahead]

berginsbergins Member Posts: 3,453 Arc User
in Star Trek Online General Discussion
So, playing the FE again...

I chuckled at the reference to Reg's sultry holodeck characters right off the bat:
Injured Officer: Thank you, Admiral. If there's anything I can do to repay you... anything at all...
Captain Geordi La Forge: That's... (awkward pause) definitely a Reg Barclay program...
Geordi seems a bit... embarrassed? Then, it's back to business. But, a comment he makes earlier makes me wonder why he seems taken off guard:
Captain Geordi La Forge: Last wave! ...unless they've changed the program.
He knows how many waves of Borg there are, but not that the girl's gonna hit on him? Give me a break, La Forge. Stop playing innocent! This is secretly your favorite holo-program, if only for the ending!

    Well now, I don't believe embarrassment is necessarily indictive of a lack of knowledge of the program. Barclay was pretty fluent with holograms and holoprograms, maybe his work got around?

    And come on, getting hit on by something specifically designed to...get your attention, while you're on duty in a crisis situation with at least 2 fellow officers can be a bit unsettling at the least.

    the really funny thing is the npc looked kinda of like the boff I had with me, who spent the past few minute spin and drop kicking borg. add the fact she is that characters adopted daughter,and he is carrying a shotgun... just poor Geordi. that may be less embarrassment and more careful hidden terror.

    if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.

    You didn't notice when the holodeck program starts, the computer says "Running Reginal -some numbers- program." or something along those lines... ?
    Gonna have to replay the mission to see what exactly is it says.

    Edit: Both this message flashes and the computer voice reads it aloud when the holoprogram starts.

    To be fair to Barclay,
    Geordi is in no position to criticize "embarrassing Holodeck programs"

    Even the Episode title is cringy AF.

    except it wasn't cringy, because it was very appropriate to the situation they found themselves in

    a field full of devices that drain your power and convert it into lethal radiation is the very definition of a 'booby trap'​​

    Perhaps he helped Barclay test out the Borg and the ending was added after...

    I always seen it as Geordi was more like "Whoa, Redge is still doing that? o.O"

    Depends on the readers/viewers interpretation.
    You obviously take the title of this episode quite literally.

    Are you familiar with the terms; Anagram, Dual Meaning, Double entendre ?
    Commonly used in literature and other art forms to convey hidden/subtle messages in place of the obvious.
    This technique was used profusely throughout TOS as an example.

    Title aside, Geordi was cringy AF during that episode.
    Just as cringy as Barclays program in Beyond the Nexus. Maybe even more so because of the way he went about it.

    But I digress.

    My point still stands.
    Geordi has no right to look down on/make fun of Barclay considering his history with the holodeck.

    Yeah, in Geordi's version there's a nude Leah Brahms throwing herself at him. ;)

    to be fair... what Barclay did in TNG was worse. (naked Deanna)

    Well... with that in mind, it's probably best that we don't talk to the purple lady to find out what she means by "anything"....

    Every time I see this thread title I read it in Darth Vader's voice from ANH when Leia is brought to him and he says "Don't act so surprised, your highness"

    Everyone is kinky. Just people in yellow shirts use holodeck programs. Only people in command red chase the real thing around the ship.

    When TNG was released on Blue-Ray we got so many new bloopers and extended episodes..

    Lot of funny stuff like this..

    Most amazing is the extended episode of "Measure of a Man".. Now at almost 1 hour, 20 min..

    Everyone loves chocolate.
    The whole reason the Klingons became warriors instead of famers writing epic poems is the ancient Hur'q stole all the plants from Qo'nos before being chased away by the Klingons.
