    Not “most likely”. He can definitely see through the cards since he mentions it to Worf in an episode. He only does it after the hand is played but even that could be considered cheating since he might be able to tell what your bluffs look like.

      If Geordi can see through the cards, then he can also see through their clothes…

      Just sayin’

        Why do you think he prefers to keep the visor instead of the surgery? It was only because of the lawsuit that he got them later in the movies. 🙃

          In the movies his artificial eyes functioned like his visor.

          We talking about the character or the actor?

        I’m… fairly certain he couldn’t make out the details.

          I like to think the mini menu in the lower center is a mid 2ks share bar for Myspace, Tumblr, Twitter, etc.

              Do you think Geordi is as big of a fan of The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon that Murderbot is?

          JWST can swap which wavelengths they are looking at. You’re telling me Geordi can’t?

          He probably just has to hit a button and it goes to ir or x-ray or EHF.

            In one episode he claimed that he got all the wavelengths at once, compressed through the visor so that his brain could handle it, and that he had to just focus really hard to filter out extraneous ones. He compared it to trying to follow a single conversation in a noisy room (think a bar or club or something). So I guess maybe he could have spent a bunch of time as a teen focusing on that specific wavelength?

        Geordi can’t cheat, because he’s always single.

      I wonder how difficult it would be to craft an omniscient AI that could pretend to be obtuse enough to enjoy playing a game of chance with?

      (I’m sure somebody has pondered this at length and is ready to fill me in)

        Easier just to have a normal non-omniscient AI.
