In a 2:00am viewing of an early Star Trek: The Next Generation, I came across a real gem. A real gem.
Lt. Will Riker enters the holodeck which is set in a smooth, laid back, jazz club. He then procedes to create himself a woman, as they do, and blonde appears from thin air. Will rejects her because apparently (and I didn't know this), blondes don't belong in jazz clubs. Sorry. It's a fact. Then, a nice-looking brunette appears. She wasn't good enough, so Will asks for a woman that is more sultry. One appears. Will is mezmorized by her. Their eyes lock. Instant love. There is obviously an instant connection, and Lt. Will Riker delivers a pick-up line like no other...
"What's a knock-out like you, doing in a computer-generated gin joint like this?"
You can't hire writers like that anymore.

the whole holodeck idea is just too big to think about. too many options! scary!
i want a holodeck.
so it's been a long time since I've been here, and I'm so glad i decided to come back while this post was up. the sad things is i'm not nearly as much of a star trek buff as.... several other people i know, but... i remember that one too.
you're so right.
by the way,
i really miss you people. especially around christmas time.
ok, so i'm not afraid. let's discuss amongst ourselves. what would you do with your holodeck?
what WOULDN'T i do?
ok, a lot of things...
Sorry, but technically he is a Commander and not a Lt. Slightly higher rank. LT's don't get to be first officers normally.
