And the episode Elementary My Dear Data where the ship created a completely self-aware program in the holodeck that started to take the ship over just because Geordi accidentally asked for an opponent that could challenge Data, not Sherlock Holmes.
Data really could have wrecked everybody’s shit if he had actually wanted to.
Oh my god that episode. And then they create the program for the villain to live in indefinitely and all of that, I kind of loved how that storyline played out.
Moriarty I think they saved--wasn't it a different episode where they "beamed" the villains into another VR?
I think it's time for a 4th TNG rewatch
Yes! Professor(?) Moriarty. He made the case that they had given him life and couldn’t end the program/kill him (even despite his hijinks), so they created a program for him to exist in that would give him a full and happy life. I believe he later vanished, however?
I wish I could rewatch TNG but we’re in the middle of Deep Space Nine and are trying to keep up with Picard so our plate is a little full.
I can’t wait to eventually rewatch. I miss my friends!
Also the episode when Lt Brocolli gets super smart and takes over the ship computer using the holideck.
