LeVar Burton Offers to Give NASA Some Help

While we don’t doubt his mastery of the storytelling arts, we’re not sure how helpful LeVar Burton would be at a shuttle launch.

Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge, on the other hand…

He encountered at least three serious coolant leaks in his career, successfully handling one caused by collision with a quantum filament and one that happened during an alternate timeline battle with Klingons.  However, on his watch a coolant leak sustained after the USS Enterprise-D’s shield modulations were betrayed to enemies through surveillance of his own VISOR did lead to a full blown warp core breach, destroying the ship.

For the above paragraph we are deeply indebted to the Star Trek Memory Alpha page on, we shit you not, Leaks.

Susana Polo thought she'd get her Creative Writing degree from Oberlin, work a crap job, and fake it until she made it into comics. Instead she stumbled into a great job: founding and running this very website (she's Editor at Large now, very fancy). She's spoken at events like Geek Girl Con, New York Comic Con, and Comic Book City Con, wants to get a Batwoman tattoo and write a graphic novel, and one of her canine teeth is in backwards.
