I'm not sure I agree with the assertion that Geordi has brown eyes. Certainly he genetically has brown eyes (seen in Insurrection), but his actual eyes are iris-free and milky white. Matthew Platts 21:04, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Past Tense Description
In the Personal Interests section, Geordi is referred to in the past tense, as if the character was dead. That's never actually happened, has it?
Also, I've heard that the prop used as the VISOR in early episodes of NextGen was actually a hair accessory once worn by Gene Roddenberry's wife. If the story is in fact true, wouldn't that make it a Majel barrett? --M.Neko 08:43, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
I've always thought Geordi was kind of creepy. He's constantly falling in love with women after listening to their personal logs, he seems like sort of a stalker type.
[edit] Blindness in the 24th Century?
Not only does La Forge have bad luck with women. He also has to deal with the fact, that in th 24th Century , Medical Technology isn't advanced enough ,to restore his normal eyesight. 20:50 ,5 November 2005 (UTC).
- The ability to give a completely blind person artificial eyes isn't imprssive enough for you? Nanded 01:12, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fungilli
Does Geordi really like it? I thought he had never even heard of it until the episode Booby Trap, when the hololgraphic Dr. Bhrams told him about it. Then he used that info to try and get close to her in Galaxy's Child. Is his love of fungilli any more of a personality trait moreso than any guy pretends to like chick flicks to get close to a lady?

[edit] Magical Negro
As cute as the term is, I don't see how it applies to Geordi and seems more like an unnecessary jab at the character than anything else. Guinan? Yes. Geordi? Not so much.
[edit] Photo Preference
I'm not sure what the policy is here, but I believe a photo of Geordi with the VISOR would be more appropriate. It, as much as his genetic blindness, was a defining feature of his character, and he wore the VISOR throughout the television series. Any opinions?

I agree, it would suit his biography better.--Rescue 03:14, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
Looks like the old photo got yanked. I'll put the one I found up. It's clearly a publicity photo, but I'm not sure how to designate its copyright status exactly. RolandStJude 23:09, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Geordi's Name
I remember reading that his name was based on a George, not Jordan, LaForge. I'll find that book and edit if I'm right. Anyone know where "Jordan" came from?--CB
- I am sitting here watching the documentary "Trekkies", in which LeVar Burton, Michael Dorn AND Majel Barret Roddenberry state the young man's name was JORDAN, so I am changing it back. 66.16.165.41 00:08, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Funny
In World of Warcraft there is a goblin engineer named "Jhordy Lapforge", working on a teleporter. Should it be mentioned in this article as an humorous reference? --Pezezin 10:17, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
