cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation for another galaxy-saving adventure. iral Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and his former crew had changed quite a bit since their days aboard the USS Enterprise-D. Not only had Geordi La Forge risen to the rank of Commodore, but he had also gotten married and fathered two daughters.

Ensigns Sidney (Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut) and Alandra (Mica Burton) La Forge played a vital role in stopping the Star Trek: Legacy remains dead in space.

Geordi La Forge & Family Are Being Wasted By No Star Trek: Legacy

Star Trek Should Find A Way To Continue Sidney & Alandra's Story

Geordi La Forge's transformation into a father and family man was one of the best elements of Star Trek: Picard season 3. Not only did it feel right for his character, but Sidney and Alandra were both immediately compelling and likable characters. While Sidney pursued a career as a pilot rather than an engineer, both girls clearly have a lot of respect and love for their father. They both appear to be skilled Starfleet officers who take their jobs seriously, but also know when it's okay to bend the rules.

Several of Geordi La Forge's family have been introduced throughout Star Trek: The Next Generation & Star Trek: Picard.

Star Trek: Picard season 3 told a large-scale story with a lot of characters and moving parts, meaning the La Forge family did not get a ton of screen time. Still, Sidney and Alandra had a fun dynamic with one another and with their father that I would love to see more of. With her position on the USS Enterprise-G, Picard's final season set up at least Sidney to play a major role in a potential spin-off. Unfortunately, it seems unlikely that Star Trek: Legacy will happen anytime soon, robbing us of the chance to spend more time with the La Forge sisters.

Star Trek: Picard Season 3 Left Big Questions About Geordi’s Family Unanswered

Who Is Sidney & Alandra's Mother?

Star Trek: Picard season 3 offered some insight into Geordi and his daughters, but left many lingering questions about the La Forge family. The biggest unanswered question is the identity of Sidney and Alandra's mother. In Picard season 3, episode 6, "The Bounty," Geordi references his partner after he agrees to his old friends, saying to Alandra: "Tell Mom we're not gonna be home for dinner." While some have speculated that Geordi's wife could be Star Trek: The Next Generation's Dr. Leah Brahms (Susan Gibney), I hope this is not the case, as Geordi's treatment of Brahms on TNG left something to be desired.

Throughout Star Trek: Picard season 3, Sidney developed a flirtatious friendship with Jack Crusher (Ed Speleers) that could easily have blossomed into something more on a potential spin-off.

At the end of Star Trek: Picard season 3, the newly promoted Lt. Sidney La Forge landed a position as helmsman on the USS Enterprise-G under the command of Captain Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan). Picard season 3 did not reveal whether Alandra also received a promotion, but Star Trek: Legacy could have found a way to position her on the Enterprise-G as well. It remains to be seen if Star Trek will continue the story of the La Forge family, but I hope a future Trek project picks up where Star Trek: Picard left off.
