Star Trek:  The Next Generation, S02E03 - "Elementary, Dear Data"

"Elementary, Dear Data"

• Have I mentioned that I hate holodeck episodes?  They really are the TNG equivalent of the "Hey, we found a planet just like Earth!" episodes in TOS.
• HMS Victory, the ship-of-the-line of which Geordi has constructed a model as a gift to the captain of the USS Victory, was famously the flagship of Vice Admiral Horatio Lord Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar in1805.  The real HMS Victory is preserved as a museum ship at Portsmouth, England.  She holds the honor of being the oldest still-commissioned warship in the world, being a couple of decades older than America's USS Constitution.
• Data ruins all the fun.
• And Dr. Pulaski is being a jerkface again.
• "Create an adversary capable of defeating Data."
  
  
  
• I wonder if every starship's main computer, after the Galaxy's first run, had completely a completely segregated computer core for the holodeck to prevent overly-eager engineers from dreaming up supervillains who can seize control of the ship.
• "Then I'll still fill you with crumpets, madam."
  
  Eww.
