I remember running across other episodes and thinking that thpe writers must have watched this one, found it cringy, and went in 2 directions with it:
"Nerd Forgiveness": wesley crusher has almost the same episode except she's into him and also super hot and they agree to date forever or something at the end
"Reginald Barclay": I felt like they created reginald barkley based on the character geordi was "supposed" in the script in this episode. Match barkley up with like the actress who played ensign roe - psychologically kind damaged and unsteady - and the episode would make a ton more sense.
