The holodeck. A wonderful Deus Ex Machina for Star Trek writers - how to do an episode on the cheap? Have one of the characters run one of their fantasies and have the holodeck go wrong!We'll leave aside the fact that in reality, if one of these wonderful devices ever did foul up and mix up people's programmes then the ship would be awash with oiled lifeguards, whip cracking Dommes and sheep rather than the family friendly 'safe' programmes that TV could show and move on to my main gripe.
WHY CAN'T I HAVE ONE?!?!? Near enough every third week we'd see one of these lucky bastards go off duty, nip down to the deck and lo and behold they have whatever their hearts desired...lucky bastards!!
Of course the main reason I shouldn't have one is pictured above - I'd create some of my favourite lust objects and slowly starve to death after I refuse to come out. Pictured here is, of course, the epsiode of X Files that never was... Chosen mainly as I have a major thing for chained up redheads.
So if you had a holodeck and one chance to put in your hearts desire...would you call up some generic Sherlock Holmes RPG or spend hours in the company of Leonardo Da Vinci in an effort to 'improve' yourself....of would you look around furtivly, hurridly type in your request, seal the door behind you and not look back? And if you do chose option B...what's your pleasure?
My pleasure? Agent Scully, Orion Slave girls(2) a couple of wonderfully repressed vulcans(wearing little) a klingon slave-mistress(caught in her own devices) and lots of chains, whips, and other restraints.
