Worf got promoted between the 2nd and 3rd seasons.
The only TNG cast member we actually *see* earn a promotion in an episode is Deanna Troi. Well, and Will Riker, but then he gets demoted back down.
Geordi has the all time record for "fastest promotions." In the 1st season he was a lieutenant j.g., then he got a promotion to engineering and to full lieutenant before the 2nd season began, and then he earned another promotion to lieutenant commander between the 2nd and 3rd seasons.

Well, in TNG, yes. But we don't know how long he was an Ensign. It seems likely he was promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade with being posted to the Enterprise. And once he became a Lieutenant Commander, he's stayed there ever since. By now, he really should be a Commander or a Captain.

Yeah, it's a little odd how all these "up and coming" officers get posted to the Enterprise and suddenly have their careers stagnate. I think most ridiculous is Riker - he and LaForge graduate the Academy the same year, and not long after, La Forge is a low ranking pilot, and Riker XO of the fleet flagship. WTF happened to Riker? Where'd his career ambition go?

Well, at least Riker finally quit doing the LSD and got himself a command before he turned into an old fart.

Maybe Riker was Mr Smithers to Picard's Mr Burns!?!
Anyway with the pic - I know Tasha is looking up and sorta shouting - but she maybe talking on her communicator.
Anyone think her hair would have stayed that way? I don't reckon it would have gone the way it did in Yesterday's Enterprise - maybe she would ave grown it long and put it in a pony-tail?

I don't get it, "If things were different...". What's different about that pic? If Tasha would be alive in today's Trek, shoiley she'd be wearing the grey/black uniform with rifled shoulders?

Maybe she would have been transferred to Voyager and lost in the DQ... Course then her and Tuvok would've had to throw down to see who's the badest security chief in the fleet.
We see that Geordi's career ambitions apparently kick into gear in that he was captaining a GCS 20 years hence in "Timeless".

There is a bit of a tendency amoung fans to assume that all the characters on the show want promotions all the time. Geordi is a Lt Commander doing a Lt Commander's job. If he's happy doing that, why should he get a promotion? If he got a promotion, shouldn't he be transferred to a "better position"? The way I see it, he was happy being Chief Engineer and never went for promotion for many years. And then when he decided he did want to try something new, he changed to command and got a starship.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

That's pretty much how I look at it. There's no reason to think that that will be affected by the changes to the timeline caused in Timeless, either. It's possible that things would change but... OOH! Series idea!!! Geordi's Adventures.
