Or the gangster episode





I just watched the gangster episode, really the private eye episode, of TNG. That's the one where Picard and friends are trapped in the holodeck, and Wesley has to hack it, or short circuit it, or whatever.

Even with no knowledge of starships or holography, I'm pretty sure most people (ok, most men) could figure out that you just open the door manually, and kill the power to the holodeck. Right?

(There is some way to open the doors manually, right?)


But then the episode got so stupid, it wasn't worth worrying about anymore.

The technobabble was always that just shutting off the holodeck cold would hurt the people inside it. The colors and imagery was holography, but the props and solid matter they could interact with was supposedly a rudimentary form of the transporter and replicator tech, where a combination of transported or manipulated mass/energy and force fields would make a chair. The holography would just make it "brown" and "woodgrain" etc. and it had a "scroll function" so when you walked "outside" you could keep on moving.

So all the stuff evaporating might hurt the people if it didn't leave in safe directions I guess.

I thought the best ending was when Wesley left with the Traveler and didn't come back. :P

Just rewatched the first Enterprise last night.

Makes me so annoyed: it could have been very good. I didn't mind the "Temporal Cold War"... if it were one of several background issues that popped up every now and then. Like the Borg or Q.

They did a good job of it in much of the first season. So much potential, wasted.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

IMHO, only TOS, DS9, and the first & last seasons of ENTERPRISE were worth watching. The rest I can skip....

I must say the second half of season one seems much better than the first half.
