“When your only reality is an illusion, then illusion is reality.”

The holodeck could have whatever acoustics he required.

oops sorry got distracted by food here now haha

It’s the Matrix! :eek:

Need me to pause?

stasis units NEVER work right

Nope I’m good, but thanks :slight_smile:

Lenny! :eek:

Zelda Rubinstein!

dude I had forgotten how creepy these constructs are.

Also, I hate clowns, and the circus.

The only thing we have to fear is… GIANT MOON RATS!!! :eek:

An unusual casting choice was made for the extras of this episode, to lend a certain mood to several scenes. Jeri Taylor related, “We hired a lot of people from the Cirque du Soleil as background.” (Star Trek Monthly issue 15) She elaborated, “We hired [them as] background performers […] to provide a very strange, sort of carnival-like atmosphere.”

No wonder I find it so unpleasantly creepy.

Enter The Doctor :slight_smile:

I’d forgotten how engrossing this episode was. So well done. More of Voyager should have been like this.

The concepts and ideas are good. I just really absolutely hate clowns. :eek:

“What will become of us? Of… me?”
“Like all fear, you will eventually… vanish.”
“I’m afraid.”
“I know.”

Chills. Literal chills. Bravo!

I’m sure that was the intent.

Robert Picardo believed this episode’s visual style was similar to that of Star Trek: The Original Series. He commented, “Looks-wise it’s very much like an original series episode. It has vibrant colors.”

I hadn’t made that connection but it does share a certain aesthetic

Well done episode, Voyager!
Thanks for watching, Badger :slight_smile: Enjoy the meetup this weekend!

I will. Good night! :slight_smile:
