Star Trek: 10 Annoying Characters Who Really Should Have Died

6. Geordi LaForge

Geordi3 I never got Geordi. I mean, if you're going to choose someone to pilot Starfleet's flagship, are you seriously going to pick a blind man? Yes, I know he had that visor thing, but surely there are times when you need to actually see what's out there, not just have banks of data flying at you? Anyway, apart from that I never really saw him contribute too much to the storylines. Admittedly, once he was made Chief Engineer he had more to do, but things like the Leah Brahms storyline were just laughable. And whatever happened to him being made an assassin for the Romulans, eh? And then there was his mother. Well, an alien. Who looked like his mother. Lord preserve us. He was involved in so many warp core breaches: could one not have taken him with it?

A big sci-fi geek, I love Star Trek, Babylon 5, Farscape, Dr Who and many others as well as Red Dwarf, Buffy/Angel and so on.
