I've been thinking, do you think it would be possible to simulate a holodeck inside of a holodeck? Are there any episodes where they do that?

I want to say yes, there's an episode where they exit the holodeck only to find they're still in one. But I could be conflating that with other scifi things I've seen/read over the years, as nothing specific comes to mind. Did Moriarty do that maybe? It's been a while.

Yeah, there's absolutely been a "lol, you're still on the Holodeck" episode or two. Pretty sure Moriarty's was one of them.

I'm watching Defiant and I'm wondering why Thomas Riker didn't just beam Kira back to DS9 instead of taking her with him. He would have continued his merry rampage without her harping on his conscience.

Does the episode with Riker thinking he's woken up in the future and is now captain of the Enterprise count?

Certainly looks similar. I guess the whole 'there are no new ideas' thing is true. Que a turbo nerd showing up like "actually Geogre Carlin and the Parliament Funkadelic had borg on the jacket art of one of there albums." Then a turbo mega nerd says "actually borg were invented by the Qin Chinese as seen on this ornamental box"

The Borg are just Cybermen with better special effects. 1966. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberman quote:As the original race was limited in numbers and were continually being depleted, the Mondasians – now Cybermen – became a race of conquerors who reproduced by forcibly changing other organic beings into Cybermen.

Babel was next on my list to watch. I didn't remember this episode. Strangely topical, right down to Quark considering his bar an essential business.

evil cyborgs are a pretty old concept, and the easiest/cheapest way to do them for tv is to glue a bunch of random crap together, spray paint it black and stick it on a dude's face.

Facebook Aunt posted:Bajor also had the problem of losing their entire administrative class. If you were a mayor or whatever during the occupation then you were a filthy collaborator and nobody likes you. If you were in the Resistance you only had to manage a small resistance cell, never a large population. Kids mostly seemed to get on the job training, not formal education. The collaborators probably still had schools for their own kids, but nobody likes them and besides those schools probably had a pro-cardassian bias that would leave graduates saying things like, "Dukat wasn't perfect, but he made the trains run on time" or whatever. The only experienced administrators left working would be collaborators who were also secretly in the resistance, and even those would just be local guys, not guys with experience managing an entire planet. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/De-Ba'athification
