Anyhoo - back to the topic. Wesley crusher, any mention of what became of him in the Star Trek timeline while the rest of the characters were busy at their splorin'?

Didn't he discover he had magical powers of some sort with the help of "The Traveller" and go off to develop said powers?

the holo-projectors can project outside the door , while its open, so snowball could have happened but should dissapear when the door closes..

as for Wesley...he should have dried out when he walked away....

i would say food is replaced, but nothing else....

Then why does Wesley say to captain Picard "I'll get a towel" if its just going to disappear when the doors close?

OK time for me to put on my Nerd suit.

Ok i have the Next gen tech manual, TOS tech manual and all the nitpickers guides ;P


yes it was a plot oversite plain and simple .

I was going to post a big long technical explaintion of why it is impossable but no one has asked for it and i'm busy at work.

if you want one let me know and i'll see what technobabble i can come up with ;P

Why is it a problem? just accept that large holodeck have a built in replicator that can create real thing's like paper water snow etc and simulates large objects like buildings, cities, ships, people etc its not beyond federation technology so there’s no problem.

Stark

We've also seen the "de-replicator" in Voyager when Janeway asks Chakotay to "recycle" something.

Holographic people definitely can't walk off the holodeck as you can't replicate a person. But I imagine water and snow would be easier to replicate than to simulate. Imagine the effort required to get the sensation of water soaking into your clothes just right when using holographic technology as opposed to replicator technology.

I don't think Quark would be happy to hear that seeing as how he makes a fortune from some of the more "adult" holoprograms They must be doing something right!

Stark

Yeah I was thinking that myself. Maybe they replicate the "important bits". God wouldn't that be a nightmare if the dereplicator facility malfunctioned :eek:

MrVestek

Ok people as much as I love Star Trek it's fiction... it doesn't have a logical explaination. This has been debated over and over again and aint gonna resolved any time soon.

Sherifu

Yes sir Mr. Officer.
Nothing to see here, move along folks, no talking allowed.

Stabshauptmann

The way I picked it up was at the begining of TNG it was explained that the holodeck was a technological advancement built on the same principals as the replicator and transporter.

This was later shafted and replaced with the the idea of ligh, energy, photons and force fields.

That the writes decided to change this is a good thing, they shouldnt be lambasted for inconsistancy but rather applauded for having the good sense not to cling to a flawed idea.

And BTW, they actually do care about why and how things work. That was the brilliance of Star Trek, there were reasons and consistancy, even if every problem could be solved by rerouting power through the main deflector dish
