> [@Trinopus](#): > > Didn’t the heroes break in to the central computer room and destroy it, ending the revolt? Nope. The hero walks by the central control room (where all the techs are dead because of a stupid design decision - one of many at the park - the control room is airtight, and the doors can’t be opened manually, so they suffocated after killing the park’s power in an unsuccessful attempt to turn off all the robots), then walks past…he eventually kills the Gunman (and a non-rampaging ‘victim’ robot in Medievalworld, who he’s mistaken for a human and forced to drink water) personally. What stopped the other rampaging robots isn’t clear, but most of them are gone by the time things resolve. ---

I always thought that they aren’t against the idea entirely, or the Federation wouldn’t have been going after the planet of eternal youth in Insurrection. They are against him using an experimental drug that is so potentially dangerous. It’s the same idea as when Beverly is upset at an experimental technique being used to fix Worf’s quadriplegia. The idea that it’s someone’s choice to try experimental treatments seems to be foreign to the Federation. It’s also Season 1 TNG, where they were just looking for ways to be pretentious and pompous about how much better humanity was. Season 1 and 2 of TNG read more like they are filtered through some other civilization’s stereotype of the Federation than the real thing. Seen that way, even Code of Honor’s racist makes more sense. ---

What is that saying, that holodecks will be the last thing man invents because once its invented, everyone will just stay in one until they die? Sure, we got Barclay’s obsession with the holodeck, but you hardly ever see anyone else use it. Hell, the Counselor Troi model by itself would probably have been the most popular program on the ship! ---

The actress who played Anne Jameson, the elderly admirals wife. was Marsh Hunt. I had her name in last year’s Death Pool, but she disappointed me and is still with us. She’s not quite ninety seven years old. > **[Marsha Hunt - IMDb](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0402554/?ref_=nv_sr_3)** > > Marsha Hunt. Actress: Pride and Prejudice. Stardom somehow eluded this vastly gifted actress. Had it not perhaps been for her low-level profile compounded by her McCarthy-era blacklisting in the early 1950s, there is no telling what higher tier...
