In one of the most thrilling episodes of television history, Riker goes toe-to-toe with his dad, Riker, in an "anbojitsu" match. We also find out why Worf is yelling at everybody, and the solution: a trip to the holodeck. Plus, it turns out Dr. Pulaski has mad game? Good for her.

It's the first episode ever of "Star Trek: Lower Decks" and, yep, there's some holodeck content! Where do Mariner, Boimler and Tendi choose to go on the holodeck? And why does this technically rank as... the worst holodeck episode ever according to our patented D.R.A.S.C.S. system?

This episode may feature one of the shortest holodeck segments in all of Trek canon, but it does have one thing going for it: Vulcan foreplay. Tuvok is Pon Farring bad and he needs an outlet. Oh yeah, and meanwhile OFF the holodeck, Jeri Ryan crushes it as The Doctor possessing Seven of Nine's body. It's a classic Season 7 episode!

Get ready to experience one of The Next Generation's most David Lynch-esque episodes as the Enterprise-D simultaneously develops a subconscious (in the holodeck!) and... reproduces?! It's "Trek" at its best, as the crew takes every measure to avoid having to harm this strange new life. Oh, and there's a little Shakespeare to top it all off.

Are you ready for a luau on the USS Voyager's holodeck? How about teen romcom levels of romance? Kim falls in love with a holodeck character, who in turn falls in love with... Tuvok? What's going on?! This episode features some legit Hawaiian shirts and also the consensus WORST Vulcan: Vorik.

What, exactly, constitutes a Trek to the Holodeck-certified "Snoozer"? There's nothing quite outrageous about Okona, a Han Solo knockoff whose ship doesn't even have real phasers. Perhaps the most "outrageous" thing Okona does is convince Data to try his hand at comedy, leading Data to... the HOLODECK.

This EARLY Star Trek: Voyager episode may just be an all-timer! Harry Kim gets himself all sorts of stuck in his Beowulf holodeck program. Shortly thereafter, Tuvok and Chakotay get sucked in, too. The solution? Send Voyager's greatest holographic warrior, The Doctor himself, on an way mission to... the HOLODECK!

Three klingons and a trill symbiont walk into Quark's bar. They've all taken a blood oath to kill somebody called "The Albino" - except two of the klingons aren't so sure about the trill. So they ask her to prove herself in combat in... THE HOLODECK!
