      he was also creep to living person on the holodeck and when that person found out, he tried to guilt-trip her with “i am guilty of reaching out to you”. the author’s intention was to create “shy guy unlucky in love”, but ended up with creepy incel (before the term was cool). the character aged about as well as the “joke” we are talking about.

        Meh, that was just one story arc, with his larger arc being about his chronic shyness / awkwardness with women. It seems weird to me to say that the whole character didn’t age well just because of that ep.
