- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

It's been a while since I saw the ep, but wasn't Moriarty stuck on because the computer was asked to create an opponent that could beat Data and it got caught in a weird loop? I'm pretty sure Moriarty was a major exception in some way, none of the other constructs are self aware and all get turned off with the program
That one lounge singer in DS9 stayed on too
Isnt the voyager doctor also part of thr holodeck who can somehow walk around outside?
Did he actually stay on like Moriarty? IIRC, Moriarty became self-aware/sentient and the crew was ethically bound to keep him running. With Vic Fontaine, I think it was more a case of “saving the game” so he could continue friendships when he was activated again.
Yes, Vic Fontaine was a regular occurrence. He was not your typical program either, but because of that they let his program run all the time.
Not all the time. There's an episode where Vic mentions the longest he's ever been on has been 7-9 hours

When Nog had his leg replaced and suffered from PTSDHuh......I had no idea this comic was a reference to a tv show. I just thought everyone else ALSO wanted to leave, because, well.....have you SEEN reality lately? I am not a fan. I can fully relate with wanting to log out of this timeline. How much worse can another reality possibly be? I feel like rolling the dice on a different timeline doesn't have much risk. Worst case scenario you an equally bad reality. We're already at bedrock.
I don’t think it is, it’s just a “Simpsons did it” moment where trek has explored a ton of sci-fi ideas over the decades.
