Average idea with an average execution

Tom and B'Elanna go to the holodeck to watch an old 3D movie when another crew member is attacked. Tuvok investigates as more crew members are targeted.

This one starts off quite promising. We have an enjoyable scene in the holodeck that sets up for a bit of mystery and intrigue. Then the plot twists in an good way before it all goes down hill and events unfold in a series of a daft situations.

I can imagine the writers scratching their heads for ideas and then: 'Eureka! Let's do a sort of Sherlock Holmes meets The Manchurian Candidate tribute.' 'Cool, what happens?' 'Ah, details details, we'll figure that out later.'

The actors do a pretty good job considering their characters are being used to unnecessarily resurrect the Marquis story. It might have worked if they put some suspense or excitement into the closing scenes but it all resolves itself in a pretty uninteresting way.

Trivia
Seven of Nine, and later Janeway, mention that the ship is currently 35,000 light years from Earth. As Voyager started its journey almost 70,000 light years from home, that would mean they've managed to travel nearly halfway back since the events of "Caretaker," having drastically accelerated their journey in various ways along the way (Kes's "gift," the slingshot array, Borg transwarp technology, quantum slipstream, etc.).

Goofs
In this story, a female Vulcan crew member is present. She was not in the episode 'Counterpoint' wherein the U.S.S. Voyager's telepathic crew members had to hide in the transporter pattern buffer.

Quotes
[Tom has created a 20th-century movie theater on the holodeck]
Tom Paris: [handing B'Elanna a pair of glasses] These will make the images on the screen appear three-dimensional.
B'Elanna Torres: Let me get this straight: you've gone to all this trouble to program a three-dimensional environment that projects a two-dimensional image, and now you're asking me to wear these, to make it look three-dimensional again?
Tom Paris: Great, isn't it?
