Maybe the Holodeck on the Enterprise is less safe than Quarks. There weren't THAT many holodeck-gone-wrong episodes on DS9 (although they do have the best one, Our Man Bashir).

It helps that DS9 isn't comming into direct contact with space anomalies every other week (except for the wormhole).

JeremoudCorbynejad posted:It's incredible just how boring everyone is on the Enterprise in TNG. Are they not allowed to take drinks into the holodeck or something? Everyone's sitting around sipping Green and playing chess, or watching a classical band or doing a poo poo painting. Yeah the TNG crew are the blandest most boring motherfuckers in space. Barclay is the only one who isn't and he's the crazy person on the ship. Picard playing noir detective seemed like fun at least. And Worf. I'd be into exercise too if my exercise was fighting orcs inside a volcano.

I imagine Picard as Dixon Hill is very much how James May would be. "A tommy gun? Goodness gracious, I just want to spend some quality time with this 1932 Underwood typewriter!"

Spiral ones at that, which are useless for moving anything other than people. You can barely even take stretchers down spiral staircases. So yeah I'm totally with you on that point. Ramps or straight stairs would be better. That wouldn't look cool though.

I assume the stairs are just convenience stairs and there's proper turbolifts and emergency stairs everywhere. You see this in buildings all the time. Code will demand two stairWELLS which need to conform to a ton of safety things and be fully enclosed, but you can still have extra stairs "just for show" more or less that people can use but aren't part of any emergency evacuation plans.

Spiral staircase is just fine for moving cargo if you turn off the gravity.

It seems like the bridge consists of two levels, the top is the actual bridge area, and then the bottom level has the briefing room or whatever and the captain's office. The elevator would go to both levels, but it's dumb to get in an elevator and then go up one floor when you can just run up the stairs.

The difference is that Quark clears the cache after every use, cause he runs a good quality holo-brothel and you don't read another man's holodeck history. On the Enterprise/Voyager the temp folder is so big and unwieldy they can't run the holodeck and the replicators at the same time. Geordi's the only one who seems to clean it out.

Now I'm thinking of how crazy the IT service calls in the Trek universe must be. Like "Riker tried to reprogram the Holodeck to make three breasted, double vaginaed women, triggering an undocumented privilege escalation bug and now the Romulans are trying to jump from the holodeck systems into the main computer". "AGAIN? Can someone suspend his holodeck account please?" CommanderApaul fucked around with this message at 22:52 on Oct 2, 2017 |

I watched all four episodes of the Orville and then saw the intro to Star Trek discovery and I immediately knew that the Orville was going to be a million times better. What is this trash. This is some jj Abrams rear end bullshit Trek. Suck my dick cbs.

To be fair when TNG premiered, at least from my perspective as a kid, even just the Dixon Hill program seemed amazingly cool and novel. There wasn't much conception of the idea of "virtual reality" in mainstream popular culture yet.
