Persistence of Vision

Yeah I agree this episode is creepy. I like it though. The first time I watched it I was pretty scared each time I thought one of Janeway's visions was going to actually kill her.

I like creepy episodes. That, plus another important fact makes "Cold Fire" and "Persistence Of Vision" my favorite episodes.
 
I barely remember this episode other than finding it a bit creepy. Also, I'm kinda fond of the Holonovel. It wasn't Captain Proton, but it wasn't bad
 
I always see the holonovel as evoking The Turn of the Screw because of the children, but maybe it's because I never read Jane Eyre.
 
I dunno, romances aren't my thing. The last classic literature I read for pleasure was Mark Twain's Life on the Mississippi, and that was in '72, sitting on its banks and watching the barges.
 
Is it?

A Gothic adventure tries to be Gothic.

There's an implied effort.

When the book was written, everything was Gothic.

Gothicism surrounded them, Gothicism penetrated them, Gothicism bound the Galaxy.

So, maybe Jane Eyre was a Gothic Adventure, but hardly intentionally so.

At the time Jane Eyre would have been thought of as a "Modern Adventure".

;)

As someone who lives in Bronte country, i can assure you that everything is still Gothic

It still surrounds and penetrates us.....it penetrates deep and hard like it knows the overwhelming mediocrity within us and yet doesn’t care. It sighs with a heavy heart on the dark, unforgiving Dales, looking pensively out over the horizon, dripping in sexual wetness like some kind erotic shaved goose while the foreboding grey clouds of melancholy thunder towards us

England is stupid.
 
I must say that I find England interesting and friendly.

Not to mention that I love the English humor!
 
Culturally I'm a fan of England. On the other hand, their election process seems even more obtuse and convoluted than America's.

Like, I thought the electoral system is bad, they've got a system where the plurality party gets to custom pick a crony to be PM. But, all the real work is done by civil servants who are not subject to election, get promoted based on tenure and can't be fired. And the head of state is a figurehead with still some official powers that are just kind of unofficially never invoked and the title is passed down by birth.

Have you seen the show Yes Minister/Prime Minister?
 
Not only did the little boy (Thomas Dekker) play Picard’s son in Generations, he and the girl actress were both in the remake of Village of the Damned!
 
And since no one on board possessed those qualities (maybe Dalby) and she was still pining for Mark, she had to get her submissive needs met on the holodeck

Actually, that idea creeps me out more than that holonovel setting or the episode itself :)
