LT. GEORDI LAFORGE

Originally Played By: LeVar Burton
Wishful Casting: Dule Hill
Dule Hill is great and one of my favorite actors mostly because of portrayal of Burton Guster on the wonderful USA show PSYCH. Hill is capable of playing humor, pathos and any other emotion that would be called upon for this role and it is a good thing because the role of Geordi LaForge sometimes gets overlooked in it’s complexity. Just the issues with his eyesight alone resulted in some really subtle and powerpacked work from the always great LeVar Burton and I think Hill could pull it off spectacularly too.

  1. I kept trying to figure out where I had seen Dichen Lachman and it finally dawned on me: she played Suren the would-be vampire queen of Boston on the US version of Being Human. It’s a small world after all/It’s a small, small world.

    1. A new series call “Lineage” should be the focus featuring the kids all the series with a new Captain Wesley Crusher, a 2nd in command Nog, an undercover journalist/section 31 operative Jake Sisko, whose sister displays powers related to the wormhole aliens, Alexander, son of Worf who finally becomes the kickass Klingon he was meant to be, Chief O’brien’s kid Soshi and Icheb as well as Naomi Wildman and Bellana and Tom Paris’s daughter. All children of successful ship’s and all recruite by Wesley because of his experience as a “traveler”.

      1. I would watch the heck out of that show. That is a really cool idea and it actually makes Wesley useful while harkening back to established continuity.
        Thanks for stopping by and posting.
