Adrianne, Geordi I loved as well, especially when they pulled him away from being the navigator and made him chief engineer. Worf, I did not and may never like, because he's Klingon, and I never did like Klingons in the series. Always wanted to see more of the Romulans, personally, especially when Next Gen came out.
