Actually, Everyone’s Been Through Some Shit
As far as we know coming into season three, it’s not just Riker and Troi who’ve had a rough go of it since we last saw them. Beverly Crusher begins the season being chased by a mysterious threat, and has seemingly long left Starfleet life behind. Likewise, Worf is now a meditating, monastic wandering ronin from what we’ve seen of him. Perhaps most “normal” is Geordi LaForge, now a Commodore in Starfleet. He continues to serve, and now does so alongside his daughters Sidney and Alandra—but even that’s not perfect, as we know heading into the season that at least Sidney does not see eye-to-eye with her father, having parted from his legacy as an engineer to train as a pilot.
