In another thread @ValueSubtracted@startrek.website described this plot as âExtremely TOSâ and I went from not-hating-but-not-loving it to having much more positive feelings. Is it silly? Yes. Is it humanist? Also yes. And whatâs more Star Trek than that?

I do admit that while I found the plot ridiculous, I did find the characterâs story interesting. Itâs hard to go wrong with holodeck episodes, honestly.
I though of an interesting story based on that where from childhood, someone accidentally lives an entire simulated life based on the real world 20-40 years in the past and becomes a Starfleet officer in the simulation (down to a fake 4 years at the Academy, maybe with holo Boothby). The holodeck then gets shut off by real Starfleet officers. Besides the obvious emotional story, it would also be interesting if the simulation was accurate enough that the personâs experience made the captain decide to make them a provisional officer at the end of the episode.

I was not a fan of seasons 1-3 pretty much at all (3 was ok), but 4 was one of my favorite seasons of any Trek and 4 is also very good. I would be interested to read a follow up post when youâre finished!
