DCUM's in starfleet don't have kids on starships with them except for crusher.

I wonder what is the average # of children a woman in starfleet has - it wouldn't be very many considering the trends.

There were lots of kids, only brought out when story line required it. There was a school, teachers, once they even had Captain Picard Day and made a banner & pictures.

Naomi Wildman spent alot of time in the holodeck in the later seasons of Voyager in a child oriented program. Ugh and there was that awful episode where Laxana Troi takes Worfs son, Alexander to the holodeck.

I don't think I would want to use the holodeck to babysit kids- as a pp said it's a death trap.

For the PP who asked about watching Enterprise- total waste of time. I'm a (closeted) die hard Original Series, TNG, and especially DS9 fan. I enjoy some of the better Voyager episodes. I was so excited with Enterprise started. I have never been so disappointed in my life. First few seasons have an awful, meandering story arc that ends abruptly. I have heard that the Brent Spimer guest star (plays his ancestor) episodes are good, but I just can't make myself watch after so many awful episodes.

For working out -- hiking or running in exotic locales, swimming in the ocean, tennis partner, etc. A great massage would be good too!

The role-playing games some of the characters did might be fun -- like Janeway's novel, only I wouldn't pick something horribly dull like hers. I'd pick an Anne McCaffrey Dragonriders novel and role-play a dragonrider, soaring through the air. Or Tolkein, and hang out with the hobbits.

I am a nerd. Ah well.

No offense, but I don't think that people who are spending their weekend explaining how they'd use a Star Trek Holodeck need to explain that they are nerds. I think we can all make that assumption.

Thanks for your logical review of the situation, Spock.

am i the only trekkie that never got into TOS.

TNG and DS9 were way more fun and interesting to day dream about. TOS was just boring. hell even some voy episodes were more enjoyable for me.

Fun fact - I once ran into Jadzia Dax at a grocery store in central PA.
