In this episode we tackle another mainstay of Treknology, the holodeck. We argue over what a holodeck is even for, and agree that the holodeck kinda sucks as a plot device. Our conclusion: TNG holodeck episodes are some of the worst in the bunch, and Voyager for once comes out on top for interesting explorations of the technology. Tangents include: us processing the inauguration; nazis as bad guys in popular media; Emmanuel's car troubles.
