Jeanway 0 Posted June 12, 2004 I just watched this episode again. I felt a strange kinship towards Reg Barclay," Broccoli". I could see his addiction to the fantasy he was creating on the holodeck. His constant desire to be in there and allowing it to take over his life. He WAS out of control. I started thinking about this in relationship to what I have gone through in here, on the site and in my thread 'Sea Trek' and I can feel now what he was going through. I'd rather be in my made up storyland than anywhere else. I'm not saying this is a bad thing, but I have noticed the topic of thread addiction come up in here once in a while. It's funny how when I first saw this episode how ridiculous it made him look, losing his grasp on reality like that. But I guess if you can see that it's happening you can begin to do something about it. Eventhough, I do think it has a purpose. Poor Reg, anyone seen him around lately?

jefffitz 0 Posted June 13, 2004 Dwight Schultz has a radio talk show "Dark Matters" Sat. nights on RealityRadioNetwork. It's kind of bizarre and too right-wing for my tastes. But Reg Barclay still rocks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
