Star Trek: The Next Generation - 4x16 - Galaxy's Child

    Geordi welcomes a visit from Dr. Leah Brahms, who he had a peculiar holodeck relationship with.  In the meantime, the Enterprise runs into a spaceship-size creature, which they inadvertently kill.  They help birth a child from the corpse, which treats the Enterprise as a mother.
    There is a real corniness to the Enterprise plot in this episode.  I think we've run into beings that exist in space in the past, but the premise of the baby nursing off the ship seems a little too silly.  The plot between Brahms and Geordi is where the fun is.  Geordi doesn't get too many episodes, so it's fun to see him struggle with being awkward around his crush.  Brahms seems too conveniently cold, and I would have liked to see a little more nuance in her.  For some reason, I wanted to see her part played by Danica McKeller.
    Their big confrontation never felt like the draft was finished.  The words don't hit as firmly as they needed to.
