Star Trek: 10 Characters With The Most Appearances
9. 187 - Geordi La Forge
Navigator and later chief engineer of the USS Enterprise-D, Geordi was absent from six episodes of TNG but still manages to make this list thanks to those four additional feature films and a lone but extremely memorable appearance in Voyager's Timeless as captain of the Galaxy Class USS Challenger, and now returning for Star Trek: Picard.
Interestingly, the six episodes of TNG in which La Forge doesn't appear are spread across its second to seventh seasons meaning that while Geordi was flying the ship, he was at the Conn week in, week out, without fail. That was at a time when, funnily enough, the ship had a revolving door of chief engineers with only Argyle managing two appearances before Geordi took over from the second season opener, The Child. Bizarrely he's also going to be the last of the TNG crew to appear onscreen with their in-universe kids.
His victory lap in Star Trek: Picard brings him up close to our next entry, though he remains locked in these three shows he's appeared on. It should be noted that LeVar Burton has directed many more episodes across the various shows in the franchise as well.
