lmao maybe if the federation paid better then people who aren't loving stiffs wouldn't prefer playing video games over being bullied by autistic children while sitting on their rear end staring out a window just so that when someone finally gets around to saying "warp nine" there's someone to press a button in their voice activated spaceship.

All of the above may be true but in the 24th century there is no excuse for greed, prejudice, hate, and coming in late for work.

If I was someone's boss and I said "Simon, why the gently caress are you late for your shift?" And he said "Sorry lieutenant, I had holodeck time booked out weeks in advance (because you know the senior dudes hog the time?) and I was in a 28 way fuckfest orgy with the most beautiful women you've ever seen and I lost track of time". I'd just be like "Cool. Uhh I don't suppose you have a copy of that program do you?"

I need to watch some BSG/Caprica after I finish ENDGAME. Which I havn't yet. Gonna watch it on my big living room TV, maybe invite some of my friends over to take part in the spectacle. And then I will never, ever, ever, watch Voyager again.

Nobody organises an intervention when weeks of productivity are lost due to Potatoes throwing out his shoulder for the nth time while jerking it to the holo he programmed of his wife just letting him have a moment's peace on the couch.

Amazing how Miles' injuries line up exactly with someone aggressively sweeping a holographic botanical garden with a heavy shoulder-strapped flamethrower and not ever in the shoulder-elbow-wrist-fingers full chain arm trauma you'd typically find in white water kayaking.

During that trial for Worf in DS9 where they try and prove how ruthless he is they talk about how he repeatedly runs a holodeck program where is the general of an army and decides to burn a city full of civilians after winning a battle. O'Brien and Bashir apparently replay the Alamo and other battles where they got to kill thousands of enemies. But the real problem here is that a guy with anxiety issues made Riker a wimp. Computer, Override holodeck locks authorization Riker Alpha Zeta Three and inform the entire command staff Lt Barclay punched me out in a holoprogram. Have my ex-girlfriend tell everyone he is insane. Issue a formal condemnation on his record and inform starfleet to give him poo poo about this for decades. This high road only has one destination. Also load Hologram-I'm-Literally-In-Love-With in holodeck two. Shut down Geordi's creepy sexualized holograms that are talking about being touched if you have to.

Kinda weird that the whole trial is a Klingon lawyer insisting that Worf as a Klingon will obviously act within Klingon racial stereotypes and sensibilities. (albiet ones they see as positive and also advantageous to play up in this scenario) In what amounts to a case of collateral damage of a civilian vessel somehow dumb enough to be within a thousand space miles of a warzone and also cloaked. Also, the last episode has Ezri gently mock Bashir for how he and O'Brien always pick losing battles as holodeck scenarios. I'm surprised they never had another Klingon curious about the human historical battle scenarios they keep getting dressed up for. (Worf of course already knows about it and it's no novelty)

Just wait for all of the exciting things they do with the technology that can instantaneously travel to any point in the entire universe that was refined to be as simple as Tom just ultrawarping himself to a planet to gently caress Janeway whenever he felt like it. Once they look into automated transports to avoid the biological effects or use the slightest bit of science to try and address the biological effects things really get interesting!

You'd think O'Brien and Bashir would've asked, "Hey, Worf. We're doing the Khitomer Massacre this weekend. Want to come with? You can play your dad." This would be the greatest bonding moment ever or Worf would eviscerate the two with his bare hands on the spot.

There's a difference between having a lovely day at work then coming home to play Call of Duty for awhile, and having a lovely day at work then coming hope to meticulously recreate the scenarios of your day except this time instead of stuttering and avoiding eye contact with everyone, you punch out your boss and gently caress your coworker right there on her desk.

Harry's corpse was probably broken down and recycled into that elk meat everyone is eating." WAIT so if the holodeck is a replicator, it's making you real meat people, who are capable of being sentient, who you both gently caress and eat,,

A more accurate statement would be "Sorry Lieutenant, I had holodeck time booked but it gained sentience when I was in the middle of my session and we had to have a long talk about the idea of consent when your partner is a set of photonic images projected into space, the nature of man's inhumanity to machine and after all that the exit door was jammed up by stray anti-tachyons.

I wish the holodecks actually mostly used replicators to make disturbing meat-puppets and mostly physical objects, saying that it's actually more realistic and less energy intensive for sessions over 20 min rather than sustaining force fields. "computer, end program" *all humanoid characters fall apart into piles of wet bloody meat, the general physical environment begins to be recycled causing it to look like silent hill for a few moments*

I also like how this culminated in the absurd ability of self-aware holograms being able to control whether they were solids or ghosts from moment to moment.

DS9, season 3 episode Civil Defense in which DS9's old cardassian anti-riot systems get set off by accident, gul dukat shows up to gloat and gently caress around and gets accused of cowardice by a pre-recorded message and locked out of all systems himself. the worm turning is a great little moment

However, the holodeck system also has force field projectors to make things feel solid. Sapient holograms are able to turn off the force field aspect of their projection. The problem then is that punching a forcefield looks like this:  How you gonna gently caress a chick made out of forcefields?
