Emergent Lifeform

Story: Emergence
Written By: Joe Menosky
Series: Star Trek: The Next Generation
Year: 1994

The Holodeck begins merging several different programs and the ship begins to run itself…all due to some nodes in the ship. The crew comes to a conclusion that the ship may in fact be creating its own baby or something. Weird.
The episode is interesting to watch, but it is kind of confused and silly at times. I liked it but I don’t really know if I buy the premise. Also it is another “holodeck gone wrong” episode, which is a bit tired by this point. But like I said, if you in a TNG mood, it is a fun episode.
