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.
