| Voyager became stuck in a section of space
that was merging with subspace. A group of photonic beings boarded
the holodeck which was running Tom Paris' program "Captain Proton" from
1930's science fiction. The photonic aliens thought that the holographic
characters were real and that the real people were the illusion.
When making contact with one of the aliens, Tom Paris discovered that they
had no idea what a carbon based life form was. The aliens, who were
poorly treated by the program's villain Chaotica, waged war against him.
In the end, Voyager used the Doctor (who is photonic) to play the President
of Earth. In his new role, the Doctor allied with the aliens and
Janeway and Paris destroyed the evil Chaotica and his death ray.
This episode was interesting and entertaining. There have been better holodeck based episodes in the past, however this one stood out because the holodeck program was in black and white. Review by: Andrew Luby
