What. The. Hell?
Lazy, unoriginal, dull, ridiculous. Was this script left over from season 1 of The Next Generation?
Please just shutdown the Fair Haven program already. Meh.
I don't actually mind Fair Haven. What bugged me about this episode is that it seemed like the writers had a goal in mind for the plot and making sense be damned, they were going to get there. Was that a HOLOGRAPHIC gun (with safeties on) that hit the control panel and caused it to turn safeties off and malfunction? Since when does The Doctor need his mobile emitter on the holodeck? And that angry crowd that was at the point of piling kindling changed their tune awfully quickly with a little "we should find a way to still be friends!" talk from Janeway and Sullivan. I feel like this episode would have been mostly fine (albeit silly, but hey, sometimes I enjoy that) without the nonsensical decisions in the latter half.
Ugh, Fair Haven again. Really ?
Didn't they say that only 10 % of that program where salvageable ? Must have been one heck of a database if those are the 10 %. And B'Elanna claimed that Tom is running the programm 24/7. Not that you would've noticed during the last episodes.
Oh, yes, I forgot ! Continuity is not in the writers vocabulary. But even if you disregard all of that I find it quite unconvincing that the holo characters do all of a sudden start to recognize their surroundings as anything else but their own. They tell you why but not how. Some damaged subroutine, but are we to assume it's just because the programm is running too long? That would indicate you only need to run any programm long enough for the computer to create sentience. Guess Moriaty wasn't so unique after all. And concerning logic: why can't they make the adjustments from outside the holodeck ? They have to go inside. And that rifle shot should not have had any effect on the panel in the first place. It's a holographic bullet ffs. It is all the typical jumbled mess.
And the icing on the cake - we have two crew members in danger and could resolve all that by ending the holo matrix. But noooooo, we'd loose Fair Haven. Or Janeways love interest. That's adding insult to injury.
Non science fiction oriented episode in a science fiction series is always a bad call...
Understandable, but totally and extremely unnecessary!
Programs behaving in an advanced manner that mimicks sentience isn't sentience, regardless what Picard argued for data :joy: we're going to come up against the same thing they way our AI is going.
Fair Haven is forgettable. This episode evoked a groan and an eyeroll, nothing more.
Kill Fair Haven already (bring back Proton!) It's silly. It's boring. It's a bad Irish stereotype. It's a recurring story (holo characters discover they're not real and/or want to break hereby endangering the ship). I hate the Shíre music. Other than Katie's garment and her romantic hair, there's nothing to see here. It's that supposed to be funny?
