Ah, the holodeck. The lazy writer's easy out, whereby he can write any unrelated story he wants to and pretend it's Star Trek. Admittedly TOS did the same thing too often, but now it's a systematic excuse!

The only thing I liked about the holodeck was Worf's objection at being transported to Sherwood Forest: "Sir, I must protest. I am not a merry man." Besides "fully functional" and "I feel pain ... great pain", that's just about the only line I remember from that show.
