Holodeck madness! After passing through a magnetoscopic storm, the Enterprise starts exhibiting bizarre malfunctions, largely centered on the holodeck. When Data and La Forge investigate, they discover that the ship seems to be developing the first nodes of its own neural pathways--and protecting them. The crew becomes nervous as the Enterprise's systems begin not only working together, but working independently of human commands. This is an excellent, richly plotted episode, perfectly blending suspense, whimsy, and good old-fashioned Starfleet problem solving. The holodeck's incarnations of the ship's systems are interesting in concept and appropriately menacing, and the crew gets to mull over an interesting tacit question: If the Enterprise develops intelligence, does that make them parasites? As an added touch of class, Brent Spiner gets to show off his classical chops when Data performs Prospero's big monologue from The Tempest--managing, of course, to both foreshadow and comment on the episode's themes as he does. --Ali Davis

From the Back Cover
After a series of malfunctions aboard the Enterprise, Picard (Patrick Stewart) orders an emergency core shutdown. But the ship's computer takes control of the propulsion system and narrowly avoids a disaster. An investigation reveals that the Enterprise somehow protected itself. When Data (Brent Spiner) discovers a complex neural network forming throughout the ship, he traces it to the Holodeck and concludes that the key to understanding the ship's "emerging intelligence" lies there. Inside the Holodeck, the crew realizes that the Enterprise is attempting to create a life form in Cargo Bay 5. Unfortunately, the process could exhaust the ship's osygen supply, killing everyone on board.
