Main Chief Engineer Who Wasn't Geordi - Brinkley or Crawford
Posted by multificionado@reddit | TNG | View on Reddit | 5 comments

Way I figure: Supposing Geordi was still the helmsman of the Enterprise-D continuing from Season 1? And whether or not Tasha was killed, if it was possible to have a new main character as Chief Engineer...
...well, I figure that character could be an Orion, to reference TOS, and therefore would mean the character would have to be female. And the way I figure, two likely actresses from the 80s would be perfect as the Orion Chief Engineer: Christie Brinkley and Cindy Crawford.
Of the two, which of the two would be most likely to play an Orion Chief Engineer main character from TNG Season 2?

Crawford

Orions don't have to be female.

I know, but it's easy to imagine it'd be the kind of character to, unfortunately, appeal to Gene.

Green and giving off mind control pheromones, then it is.

Well, maybe the pheromones would be restricted, especially in her Engineering work, but aside from that, yes...
