I have a story to share that this crowd will appreciate.
I got into TNG with my Dad. We’d watch it on broadcast when I was young whatever day of the week it was that is on.
Thing is, the afterschool daycare I was at, the last 45mins or whatever, as kids were trickling out, they’d sit us down to watch something while they closed up shop, vacuuming, wiping the kid grime off stuff etc. Frequently what they put on was reading rainbow.
So being young, I’d ask my Dad about Geordi’s visor and his eyes. He would patiently explain that Geordi was blind but could see with the visor. Somewhere in there was the episode where his visor breaks and he and the Romulan bond. So far so good, I’m with you.
But what I could NOT square, and didn’t have the means to articulate, was that just earlier that day Geordi was reading me godamn books. WITHOUT HIS VISOR.
… and then there we got to the godamn crossover episode of reading rainbow.
