Paris and Kim are forced to keep a holodeck program of Captain Proton running when they leave the simulation.
Suddenly, a spatial distortion hit the Voyager.
The ship is trapped and extra-dimentional beings enter the simulation believing that it is reality, while the crew is just a simulation.
Soon after, we learn that the aliens fight a war against the Chaotica, and Paris, Kim, Jewnway,and Doctor join the fight as characters from the simulation.


## Impressions {#impressions}

I am definitely **not** enjoying these Captain Proton episodes.
I guess the reason it that I never watched classic US SciFi shows it builds upon?
Or maybe I prefer conflicted Paris?
Either way, I have not found it interesting at the sightest
The premise sounds cool, and everybody seems to be having a lot of fun.
But that's all.

Don't get me wrong - this is not a _bad_ episode.
It's just not for me.
I'd have much more fun if I was invested in Proton.

Now, if it was Star Trek that was referenced with such respect in some modern show, I'd be all over it.

Though those episodes look simply stunning.
Here: Jenway in the best aspect format (4:3).
