It's a family affair for LeVar Burton and his daughter, Mica Burton, on .The real-life father and daughter share the screen for the first time on the latest episode of the Paramount+ series, «The Bounty,» with LeVar reprising his beloved character, Geordi La Forge, and Mica portraying one of Geordi's two daughters, Ensign Alandra La Forge. (Geordi's other daughter, Ensign Sidney La Forge, mans the controls of the USS Titan and is played by Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut.) The idea for LeVar to don the iconic uniform alongside Mica was an idea borne out of a conversation he had with showrunner Terry Matalas about returning to the franchise, the alum revealed in an interview with ET on Wednesday.
«Never would I have ever thought of going to them and saying, 'Hey, what about my kids being in ?'» the 66-year-old actor admitted. «And I would've said no,» Mica, an actress and gamer in her own right, confessed.So how did it all come together? ET spoke with the father-daughter pair about their onscreen debut together, the surreal reality of reuniting with the crew and that intriguing cliffhanger at the end of the latest episode.When Terry approached me about reprising the role of Geordi La Forge and he asked me if I had any desires, any wishes in terms of where he would be when we find him, I said, «The only thing I really need is for him to be a family man and have a healthy relationship with his family.» I never liked that Geordi, as the chief engineer, as the nerd, was discomforted by the presence of women.
That pissed me off. I thought it was really lazy on the writers' part.

Adam B. Vary Senior Entertainment Writer SPOILER ALERT: This story discusses major plot developments in Season 3, Episode 6 of “Star Trek: Picard,” currently streaming on Paramount+. Of the many pleasures of the third season of “Star Trek: Picard,” the greatest has to be watching the cast of “Star Trek: The Next Generation” finally reunite on screen for the first time since the 2002 feature film “Star Trek: Nemesis.” That movie was a failure critically, commercially and with “Star Trek” fans, many of whom were especially upset that the beloved character of Data (Brent Spiner) was killed off. Except, it turns out, he wasn’t. In Season 1 of “Star Trek: Picard,” fans learned that Data’s android consciousness had been kept alive within an inanimate memory core by Altan Inigo Soong (Spiner), the brother of Data’s original creator, Noonien Soong — until Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) honored Data’s desire to finally perish from existence completely.
