So in the episode, I just realized that Weasley thrown a holographic snowball outside of the holodeck and it hit Picard, how? What magic is that? Or is it just because it’s so early in the series or just what? I must have a explanation (silly or cannon) for it happening…
I always figured it was easier for the system to simply create real water than it was to simulate fluid dynamics with holography. I think it was encounter at far point where someone fell in the water and they were still wet when they left the holodeck too.
That was Data, I think? First or second ep?
It was Wesley again actually! Data yoinks him out of the water. And it’s in Encounter at Farpoint, the first episode.
Hat tip! Thanks, I can’t have Mandela effect on my precious TNG.
Happy to lend my Trek knowledge! Also, you might have been thinking of Insurrection, where Data is a floatation device!
