Don't anyone else think there is a real inconsistency in this episode? As I understood, holodeck is pretty uncommon in this year (2375) or at least a decade before. But Janeway told Nelix that she had flooded the forest when she was six!

A little guessing when that was: At the time of this episode Mulgrew was 43 (1998-1955), if we assume Janeway is the same, then she was six year old at 2338 (2375-43+6). Could holodeck be so common that kids had time to play in them? I suppose the Janeway family didn't own here own holodeck but like day nursery?

From what I recall from the TNG episode "The Big Goodbye", they only refer to the holodeck *upgrades* being a relatively recent thing, not holographic technology itself. It's entirely possible that like any invention (television and computer games, for example) it underwent a long period of development, perhaps only starting with rudimentary holo programs whose realism only approximated simple 3D cartoons with basic geometry. These would be more than sufficient for programs such as Flotter to be created for use in schools and other public places for recreational and educational purposes.

The following apparently has something to do with the above. They're basically nits. --From Andoria with Love 03:26, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

It appears that holo-technology has been around for a few decades, but only in the last decade has it been used on Federation Star Ships for crew recreation, that is how Captain Janeway enjoyed the Flotter holo-tales herself as a child.

At this point it has been 10 years since holo-decks were first seen aboard the USS Enterprise-D.

The act structure here is completely screwed up - no Teaser, 6 Acts + an Epilogue is definitely wrong. -- Michael Warren | Talk 15:26, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

A supposedly incorrect act structure (which this is not) is no reason to slap a pna-incomlete on the summary. Once the summary correctly and comprehensively outlines the events of the episode, it is complete.– Watching... ^listening... 20:38, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

He didn't add a template saying it was incomplete, Eyes, he added a template saying that the section needed attention. Mike thought it needed attention so what he did was correct. For the record, the acts are separated by the moments when the show cut to commercial/faded to black during its original broadcast. If the acts are split in that way right now, then they are fine. If they are not, they will need reworking. --From Andoria with Love 22:43, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
