Barclay took over the freakin’ ship with the Holodeck. Neat, but IMHO, they crossed the line between sci-fi and cartoonish super sci-fi at that point.
Well, that wasn’t Barclay, it was some Super-intelligent, Supah-smoove alien dude who invaded Barclay’s brain. Besides, I liked that episode. Super-Barclay reminded me of HAL. They kept turning off the ship’s communications systems so Barclay couldn’t hear them. And then there was Geordi in the Jeffrey’s tube trying to bypass the Barclay controlled computer systems.
“I can’t let you do that, Geordi.”
Heheheheheh.
