It\u2019s an episode of firsts! We examine the first time the holodeck ever appears in a CANON episode of Star Trek, in the series premiere of The Next Generation, while also watching the first time a version of the holodeck appears in The Animated Series, where it\u2019s called \u201cThe Rec Room.\u201d We discuss holodeck bug reports, \u201cChekhov\u2019s rock,\u201d the undercelebrated genius of a \u201cKirk is a Jerk\u201d shirt, and go over the history of the holodeck as a concept and execution. The Enterprise\u2019s least important officers meet for the first time in Ten Forward and try to figure out whether to suck up to Picard or Riker, how to get a permission slip to go down to Farpoint Station, and how many Enterprises there are during a saucer separation. We encourage you to watch \u201cEncounter at Farpoint\u201d from Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 1, Episode 1 and \u201cThe Practical Joker\u201d from Star Trek: The Animated Series Season 2, Episode 3!
