One of my favorite episodes of Reading Rainbow when I was a kid!!
Exactly what I was just about to say. This episode was a big deal when it happened because I had been watching Reading Rainbow for years and loved to see LeVar on TNG. That’s a never forget crossover episode right there

Navigator in the first season. Then he gets a promotion to chief engineer.
As a Trekkie, thank you. That is acutally really interesting!
