The Worst Things Ever Done By Starship Enterprise Crews

Theoretically, the crew of the starship Enterprise has always been the best that Starfleet had to offer. In practice, the Enterprise crew has to make decisions that lead to exciting television — which means those decisions are often terrible. Here are the worst things the crew of the starship Enterprise have ever done.

Lieutenant Commander Geordi LaForge is undeniably great at his job. There's a reason he's the chief engineer of the Federation's flagship — his knowledge of the Enterprise and its systems is unparalleled, and his skills have saved the ship and its crew countless times. He's also kind of a sex creep who makes the 24th century equivalent of a RealDoll and then gets really weird about it when the woman he based it on shows up in person.

It all goes down, so to speak, in The Next Generation's third season, in which the Enterprise gets snared in an ancient trap that's draining the ship's power and threatening to kill the crew with deadly radiation. In an effort to solve the problem, Geordi conjures up a Holodeck version of the engine's designer, Dr. Leah Brahms. Over the course of the next 40 minutes, Geordi and Holo-Brahms get increasingly thirsty for each other, culminating in the virtual woman giving a speech that takes his engineering duties in a surprisingly erotic direction.

All things considered, it's actually not that weird, and it's really just what viewers assumed everyone did on the Holodeck anyway. The problem comes when the real Dr. Brahms shows up a year later to inspect the ship, and turns out to be a little more standoffish than Geordi expects - which makes sense, since they've never actually met before. Eventually, she discovers his Leah Brahms Dating Simulator on the Holodeck, and understandably freaks out this dude she just met has been doing Q knows what with her virtual counterpart for a year. The worst part? The show presents this as Dr. Brahms, who feels, quote, "invaded and violated" by some incel engineer using her image as a, quote, "fantasy plaything," as being in the wrong, and the episode ends up with her apologizing to him over drinks!
