Rating: 2

This is one of the better Geordi episodes, mostly because he avoids being a creep, which is his usual style. There are some cool visual elements to this episode, and I like the bit in the holodeck with the shadows, but it’s another episode where the ticking clock isn’t as suspenseful as it’s intended to be. I do like that they go a step further than one would expect and fully transform Geordi, though.
