Warning! Spoilers for Star Trek: Resurgence #1 ahead!A new Star Trek miniseries' inclusion of a particular character from Star Trek: The Next Generation presents the perfect opportunity for Commander Geordi La Forge to make a return due to the rather uncomfortable history he shares with her.

In Star Trek: The Next Generation, La Forge once created a hologram of renowned scientist Dr. Leah Brahms in the episode "Booby Trap" to help him solve a challenge since the real Dr. Brahms' expertise in the matter fit perfectly with what needed their attention. Of course, as is the case of every great episode, a romance inevitably ensued between the human and hologram, which would have initially not been a problem if the real Dr. Brahms had never shown up in the later TNG episode "Galaxy's Child" to find La Forge's highly idealized program. Understandably, Dr. Brahms was disturbed by her discovery and viewed La Forge's actions as an invasion of privacy.

Dr. Brahms has never really appeared again (except in Lower Decks) until now in IDW Publishing's Star Trek: Resurgence #1 by writers Andrew Grant and Dan Martin, artist Josh Hood, colorist Charlie Kirchoff, and letterer Neil Uyetake. Brahms only makes an appearance in the first few pages because the story centers on saving her from a xenophobic species who captured her during a scientific mission. Although Starfleet would obviously like to save her life, what Dr. Brahms was researching at the time of her abduction is a crucial part of Starfleet's rescue mission, as it would be catastrophic if her work fell into her captor's bigoted hands.

Is Dr. Leah Brahms still married?

Even though she and La Forge were able to put their differences aside and even became friends in Star Trek: The Next Generation, a reunion in Resurgence would definitely unearth some of their earlier feelings towards each other. Undoubtedly, part of what played a role in Dr. Brahms' negative reaction towards La Forge's program, aside from the inherent creepiness of the situation, was that she was married at the time, a union that La Forge, of course, wasn't aware of before her arrival on the Enterprise. And in the first pages of the comic, Dr. Brahms' hands are gloved since she's on an icy planet, hiding whether she's still wearing a wedding ring or not. This opens the possibility that she could be single, which would undoubtedly add a fun dynamic to their already highly complex relationship if Geordi La Forge ever does show up.

The fact that Resurgence features a whole new crew means that longtime Star Trek fans would undoubtedly appreciate a cameo from a beloved and recognizable character like La Forge, regardless of his relationship with one of the miniseries' central characters. Even those who aren't necessary fans of La Forge's character can still enjoy a cameo from him, because who doesn't enjoy a good awkward scene or two in the midst of a Star Trek adventure?
