Like that?

Yes. Excellent. Prepare for Ultimate Trek™.

It’s what Gene would have wanted

kind of wild to think how quickly technology has advanced that this photo would have been astounding during any era that these shows were on, including the last one.

If you really want to up the challenge rating, see how many of these screens you can get Jeffrey Combs on.

A cosmic WiFi accident makes the EMH switch places with Vic Fontaine. The Doctor is thrilled to have a fresh audience for his newest lecture, while Vic is troubled with the new freedoms afforded to him by the mobile emitter. The cosmic router is eventually reset after Julian Bashir is required to treat an entire Las Vegas club full of near-death patients thanks to the Doctor’s seven hours of elaboration about the unique structures of trinary gametes involved in the mating habits of Ketraalinian hairy whales while Vic Fontaine discovers that no, the Borg do not consider velvet-smooth jazz crooning to be a valuable skill to assimilate, nor is it a particularly effective combat technique.

Armin Shimerman has said that because he and Rene Auberjonois were the ones who had to spend the most time in makeup together, they got to know each other well. And the love between them was apparent in the takes and was incorporated by the writers.

P.S. Just a reminder that the a-hole general in this episode was one of the space hippies from a TOS episode.
