James and Andrew step into the world of Sherlock Holmes as they review Elementary, Dear Data, the second holodeck-centric episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. While the story is a clever homage to classic detective fiction, the duo can't help but examine the glaring holodeck inconsistencies—like the computer allowing Moriarty the ability to take control of the Enterprise and items that can leave the holodeck! They discuss how this episode showcases the dangers of unchecked holodeck technology while acknowledging that the writers hadn't yet established firm rules for what should and shouldn’t be possible. How does this episode hold up, and does it serve as a worthy prelude to future holodeck tales? Tune in as Andrew and James investigate whether Elementary, Dear Data lives up to its expectations!
