Star Trek is een geniale franchise die al decennia mee gaat op TV en in de bioscopen. Maar het heeft ook een hoop rare dingen, kleine details die je eigenlijk niet gelijk zullen opvallen. Daarom heeft de website Cracked nu dit artikel geschreven met negen vage dingen die veel kijkers ontgaan zijn.

#3. The Holodeck Is A Goddamn Deathtrap

The Holodeck: It's the magic room that can materialize anything you could possibly imagine as lifelike holograms. On the plus side, you can live out your wildest fantasies. In the negative column, it constantly tries to murder you.

The Holodeck is frequently breaking down, coming to life, or allowing ancient literary characters to seize control of the ship. But that's not even the creepiest thing about it. In one of the first episodes to feature it, Captain Picard and some other, frankly less important people become trapped while playing a silly detective game. As Wesley Crusher (the small boy who is in charge of rescuing the captain, for some insane reason) is frantically working on the control panel, Riker suggests simply turning off the power,

"Everyone inside could vanish"? Outside of a Chumbawamba concert, how could a group of people in one place up and disappear from our existence? The explanation is that, while the characters and setting are created using holograms, objects people interact with, such as food and water, are created by matter replication. And what happens to that matter when the Holodeck is turned off? It's destroyed. Otherwise, all the half-eaten meals and drinks would make the place look like a grade-school cafeteria.

So every time the crew goes into the Holodeck for a wacky diversion, they're risking getting "deleted" if there's a power outage. Man, that Holoporn must really be something.
