The holodeck is what you get when the writers of a science fiction series set hundreds of years in the future in a galaxy densely populated with intelligent, space-faring species who have technology to travel hundreds of times the speed of light decide that that concept is too limiting.
Also a great way to reuse some of those existing costumes and sets.
It also lets the actors do something different once in a while. Change of scenery (literally) as well as stretch their skills they may not otherwise get to use in the course of their regular characters.
It also allows you to have your characters do morally questionable or outright criminal acts without them suffering many of the consequences of those actions. Its a great plot device and character development method.
Think about so many of the things that happened in the hollow deck. So many of those would have been criminal acts and you’d have to imprison your characters after the first time if you are trying to claim your characters are in a moral society.
There should have been a Star Trek: Holodeck series. (Basically just Fantasy Island, with Star Trek accents, I guess.)
Also a great way to reuse some of those existing costumes and sets.
And more plausibly than TOS’s “Hey! We found a planet where it’s Earth except Abandoned/Nazis/Romans/Gangsters/Cowboys!”
Let me fix that for you
That took me far too long, then it jump-scared me.
Mee toooo It’s time for The Drum Head
You sabotaged the warp core and had the help of everyone on the crew! Monstah!
Can I petition for a version of this without the Gowrata eyes?
Seems like a good time to mention Perry Mason (2020-2023), another period piece film noir detective drama. It doesn’t have Patrick Stewart, Gates McFadden, or Whoopi Goldberg, but it has Robert Downy Jr. as producer, as well as Matthew Rhys Evans as lead alongside John Lithgow, Tatiana Maslany, and Shea Whigham. It got canned by HBO after a limited run of only two seasons, but still worth looking into if you like the Dixon Hill style of detective stories as seen in Star Trek: the Next Generation.
Star Trek has so many “could’ve beens.”
The Sulu series that could’ve been.
The Worf series that could’ve been.
The Gary Seven series that could’ve been.
The Weasley/Traveler series that could’ve been.
The Weasley/Traveler series that could’ve been.
Much more appealing!
Reminds me of Archer: Dreamland
Is that Minuet on the bottom?
I love this so much.
You dont have enough time for Dixon Hill when you’re dick’s in Crusher
