S3E2 - "For The Cause" (DS9 S4 E21)

Do You Want it Cardassian Hot or Human Hot?

The Maquis seem to be running an operation on Deep Space 9 and the number one suspect is Captain Benjamin Sisko's girlfriend! Meanwhile, a simple tailor mulls accepting a totally normal and not weird hangout with Ziyal on... THE HOLODECK!

Note: this episode contains some spoilers regarding secondary characters on Deep Space 9

In this episode we ask:

  • Why is it so easy to get access to a cargo bay in Star Trek?
  • Does Benjamin coach Jake through conversations so he can interrogate people?
  • How "hot" is too hot when it comes to Cardassian lizard rock holosuite programs?
  • and more!

  • is there a Starfleet methodology for dealing with sentient holodeck programs?
  • Do people hack the holodeck?
  • How many crewmembers worked on LaForge's HMS Victory model ship project?

S2E26 - "Vortex" (DS9 S1 E11)

S2E25 - "Shore Leave" (TOS S1 E15)

Toooootally Not the Holodeck, Nope

Every once in a while we get the urge to change things up a bit. Explore some new shows and new casts. In order to channel that energy in a focused, relevant way, we've picked this episode of The Original Series because it is EXTREMELY a "holodeck" episode if not in name, then vibe. Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Sulu are faced with the most dangerous foes of all: their imaginations! As every thing they think immediately becomes real on... a PLANET... that's basically... a HOLODECK!

S2E24 - "Projections" (VOY S2 E3)

The Doctor is In...SANE?!

Episode Notes

The D.R.A.SC.S. system has never failed to properly rate a Star Trek Holodeck episode... and that streak... continues? Right? With this Voyager episode, The Doctor is on some sort of staycation-from-hell as his very reality twists and turns as a holographic Lt. Barclay tries to guide him on a quest that all started on... THE HOLODECK!

S2E23 - "Data's Day" (TNG S4 E11)

Second Officer's Log

"Data's Day" may be one of the most lore-dense (but not Lore-dense) episodes of Star Trek ever! In this episode of firsts, we meet Keiko Ishikowa (later O'Brien), Spot, an Enterprise barber and Gates McFadden's tap choreography as Dr. Crusher teaches Data how to dance on... THE HOLODECK!

S2E22 - "Star Trek Generations" Part 2

The Nexus Generation?

And now the conclusion!

There's a first - and last - time for everything in 1994's inaugural The Next Generation film! And what's not to like? It's basically a TNG episode with a big enough budget to blow stuff up. And let's not forget the introduction of the HMS Enterprise on... THE HOLODECK!

Just like the movie, this episode was so big we had to double it! Expect Part 2 next week!

S2E21 - "Star Trek Generations" Part 1!

Boom! Goes the Budget

There's a first - and last - time for everything in 1994's inaugural The Next Generation film! And what's not to like? It's basically a TNG episode with a big enough budget to blow stuff up. And let's not forget the introduction of the HMS Enterprise on... THE HOLODECK!

S2E20 - "Crisis Point" (LDS S1E09)

A Movie in a Holodeck on a TV Show

The USS Cerritos cements itself as the most extreme ship when it comes to photonic technology as Ensign Mariner hijacks Boimler's interview prep ship simulation into an intense homage to the legacy of Star Trek on film (and some accidental therapy) on... THE HOLODECK!
