<< It ain't just the holodeck. What about the transporter? Every version of ST, from the original series through Enterprise has had some kind of transporter problem. And those shuttles...brrrrr. Either Starfleet has some of the most incompetent engineers around, or some of the worst writers. Maybe both, ;-) >>
I don't remember entire stories focusing on transporter problems, though. Whereas there were plenty of stories entirely focusing on holodeck glitches. But you're right about the incompetent engineers and bad writers. Tom Beck "I always knew I'd see the first man on the Moon. I didn't realize I'd also see the last." - Jerry Pournelle
