It unreasonably annoys me that he wrote "television, smellevision, soundevision" and not television, telesmell, telesound"

Roddenberry really just said whatever came to mind, whenever something came to mind.
He grew up with the Graphvision and Phonevision brand rip offs so it’s all be knew.
You're dead wrong, it's totally reasonable.
They must have completely rewritten the script to get Jason Statham on board.
The ending bits that imply a darker vision of this future suggests a very different direction for the show. Still, there are Star Trek episodes that do consider the holodeck from this angle. Maybe we need a mirror universe holodeck episode.
Someone should create a series where the entire Star Trek franchise was a holodeck simulation played by unwitting actors for our amusement.
They did. It was called Enterprise.
WE DON'T TALK ABOUT THAT EPISODE.
Even the creators agree that it sucks tremendously and suggest that the second to last episode is the supposed season finale (the one ending with archer pulling a Picard, giving an epic speech)
"Or lay Marilyn Monroe". Missed that in Star Trek...
- Argue with Socrates
- Spend a million dollars
- Lay Marilyn Monroe
I guess that’s the full range of Roddenberry’s fantasy life. Sounds about right.
The second paragraph reads a lot like what would end up becoming the Talosians in the cage, although the device sounds like the neural interface they had on the Equinox, in place of the Holodeck.
