+(First watched 2009-04-13) &nbsp;More half-assed logic from Spock that turns out to be absolutely correct. &nbsp;Their knockout gas doesn't work, and he concludes this means they're in an unreal situation. &nbsp;OK, that's fair. &nbsp;But from there he determines that things are only as real as they believe them to be... based on what? &nbsp;Maybe their alien captors just replaced their knockout mixture with high tech. &nbsp;Maybe it's a simulation that prevents dangerous toxins from being created, but where bullets are just as real. &nbsp;With this kind of logic, Spock would end up dead in a Reg Barclay holodeck production.
+I've got the benefit of having seen more Star Trek than these characters, but I saw the &quot;it was a test to see if you'd kill&quot; thing coming from a mile away.
+I kind of like the way that using building fronts at a skewed angle was both a way to make the sets cheap and easy, and part of an incomplete alien recreation.
