Has everyone seen Ship In A Bottle recently? That was a fun show to review.

Well it's in the Now Showing Theater right here on the forum if you haven't seen it in awhile. ;)

Did anyone agree/disagree with our observations? :) Curious to know your thoughts.

I never liked this episode very much. I was never a fan of the holo-deck gone awry stuff.

I have to agree on your thoughts with Picard and the whole "We've got our best minds on it". I mean, wtf was he doing on the Enterprise after all these years? Why wasn't he at Starfleet?

Maybe they sent a copy of the program to their best minds. :)

I really enjoyed the whole twist element to it. The first time I watched it was like.. what??? ohhh! Same feeling you guys had, I've got to watch it again so that I can see what's going on. Like the sixth sense.

What a brilliant podcast. You ladies so make me laugh. You make a great double act and my god what a naughty laugh Angela has ha ha. Brilliant show and i loved the start, Rico, Jen and Angela, brilliant. Great additions everyone. I liked the episode but teh character of Moariarty is not like the book version. He would have killed people straight away if he though he was trapped. Oh by the way did anyone pic up on the in-refference with the finnegan advert?

I thought of that...but I doubt they could they make another sentient hologram if they weren't even sure how they made the first one.

If you were a scientist, would you want to study a copy or the original specimen? If you were to say "I'd be cool with a copy", would the program degrade slightly with each duplication, like an mp3 or a jpg? And if you successfully duplicated a sentient hologram...would the results of your tests be accurate after making a copy?

And to follow that up... Wouldn't Moriarty know if a copy of him was made, if he was cognisant during the four years he was in storage? He said he was aware of the passage of time... maybe he would also detect the manipulation of his file...

Was Picard stretching the truth? Or was this a flub in the plot?

Food for thought. ;)

Yes, all I know is that when Barclay put the yellow memory unit into the device I thought.. WOW That is so cool. I want one on my desk.. and what if we are all in a giant holo program on someone's desk or in someone's closet?? hheheheheh

I shiver every time I think about that possibility. Its scary.

well, obviously I don't believe that. :) I wouldn't do what I do if that were the case. But what a very cool concept.

Matrix before Matrix....

I hated to say this and cause a buzzkill, but I might as well speak my mind. I think if we got a chance to speak to the person(s) who wrote the script, I think we would be shocked how they did not anticipate that we would be picking it apart years later because it was a TV show. It has always been a tough pill for me to swallow that is the reality as all of us would want them to be more thoughtful about it in ST universal (sorry Paramount) laws. It is fun to speculate but I would love to corner one of those writers and show them the scene with the "Choppers" in Galaxy Quest.

It could even be poor editing as I'm sure Kenny would testify to. The scence might have been written and filmed but cut for time.

At the same time, you have to admit ST makers managed to sneek more quality in their scripts then most other shows, sadly it's more the exception than rule.

Sorry, sorry :'(
