That last number should’ve been odd.
No no no. They were “romantic encounters” and Data was reporting on a mangled audio signal that he had deconstructed which was an echo from a previous iteration of a time loop where the Enterprise keeps getting blowed up.
It’s only odd that it’s so small.
“Cause and Effect” Season 5
In the episode where Data kills a borg and feels anger for the first time, I believe he says something along the lines of:
“I have failed in my attempt to recreate emotions. I listened to 4 symphonies blah blah something about comedy blah blah and viewed 3 holodeck programs considered arousing.”
On Futurama, whenever the holoshed characters come to life Zap Brannigan gets slapped with a paternity suit.
The documentary “Trekkies” ends with clips of Star Trek-themed comedy routines. One of them imagines Picard looking for the fourteen-year-old Wesley, only to find him locked in a holodeck. When Picard suggests that Wesley needs to see Counselor Troi (presumably about his raging hormones, Wesley’s reply suggests that he’s having sex with a virtual Troi.
Lends new meaning to the episode title “Space Seed”.
It would have been more entertaining if it had been an odd number. Well I’d have laughed, at least.
Great, now I’ve got this image in my head of a door that talks like a happy vertical people mover with the voice of Majel Barret.
'Captain, are you sure you haven’t considered all the possibilities that holodeck 5 might have to offer?
Is there an echo in Holodeck 4? :dubious:
Oh good, my ‘Dollhouse’ holonovel just arrived in the transmission from Starbase 42. 
This is a different show, but on the fifth season of Babylon 5 a holo-brothel opened for business. It had no restrictions on the image of the person you would be “involved” with, and wasn’t as realistic as a ST holodeck(you wore a sensory suit to reproduce the sensations you wanted.)
The captain of the station was inclined to live and let live, until she saw an image of herself, dressed in a sexy teddy, that one customer was asking for.
I don’t recall that episode at all. And I mean that in the real, literal way, not in a fanboy-denying-the-existence way. Was that maybe from one of the spinoff movies, or something?
Spinoff movie River of Souls. Really terrible unless Tracy Scoggins in a bustier is your thing.
Besides, it stole from an earlier episode of “station commander objects to a business venture after seeing himself depicted as a teddy”. OK, “as”, “in”, close enough.
Shoot, I forgot it was in the movie, I was remembering it as in the series. My bad.
Which sounds suspiciously like the Russian word for “blowjob.” I always thought the implication was pretty clear. :dubious:
I also have no doubt that Janeway occasionally got it on with that Irish dude she conjured up.
Wait, what? Huh?
I gotta get a TV…
This is exactly why, some years ago, I stopped basing the characters in my erotic fiction on people I knew in real life. Aside from the “artificial sense of familiarity”, there’s the problem that, once somebody becomes a “character”, they stop being a “real person”. I found myself thinking of my stories every time I interacted with these people IRL, and decided to knock it off.
IIRC the Doctor actually advised Janeway to have a sex with her holo-lover as a form of stress relief (since any relationship with a crewmember was out of the question).
