    So I’m not saying this to be a pedantic ass, for the record. I’m saying this because I like learning new things and sharing new things to learn. But Geordi isn’t an Admiral, as hilarious as that is. Data had the excuse of being dead or plugged into the matrix. Everyone else from the bridge crew other than Deanna ends up being an Admiral. She probably knew she wasn’t going to get the promotion when she could sense someone hiding something. But poor old Geordi gets stuck as Commodore.

      Or was Geordi the smartest of them all instead of pursuing relentless advancement he remembered the words of Admiral Kirk:

      “Don’t let them promote you. Don’t let them transfer you. Don’t let them do anything that takes you off the bridge of that ship, because while you’re there, you can make a difference.”
