Star Trek TNG: Episode 166 - Homeward

I really enjoyed this episode. It involved Worf and his human brother Paul Sorvino (who was great). Paul Sorvino was on a primitive planet (seemed like the inhabitants were in the equivalent of Earths Dark Ages), anyway the planet was going to die so Paul wanted to save the people. Worf comes down in disguise to convince his brother that there is no good way to do it without revealing the existence of alien life to them. So, somehow, Paul Sorvino sneaks the entire population onto the ship and replicates their village in the holodeck. The plan then is to beam them down to a new planet without them even knowing.


The plan takes a bad turn when one of the villagers accidently exits the holodeck and ends up in the Enterprise hallway. Needless to say, his mind is fucking blown. After spending sometime with the crew, the villager seems to be somewhat adjusting to all of this. Then he kills himself.


In the end, the Enterprise beams the rest of the village down to a new planet and they never even know what happened.


The episode also has Penny Johnson in it, she was in DS9, 24 and now the show Castle.

I was thinking this was the episode about the Space Irish. I guess its not. I don't remember this one at all.

how big is the holodeck that you can fit an entire village in it???

obviously should have "stunned" everyone and keep them knocked out until you get to the next planet….or let them die, whatever

I still don't see the connection. Wouldn't people like that watch Leave it to Beaver or something? Why Star Trek??
