    It also allows you to have your characters do morally questionable or outright criminal acts without them suffering many of the consequences of those actions. Its a great plot device and character development method.

    Think about so many of the things that happened in the hollow deck. So many of those would have been criminal acts and you’d have to imprison your characters after the first time if you are trying to claim your characters are in a moral society.

      There should have been a Star Trek: Holodeck series. (Basically just Fantasy Island, with Star Trek accents, I guess.)
