The episode was "Ship in a Bottle" where Moriarty and his love are sent off in a computer simulation at the end. They think it's all real, but they're really just both in a simulation of the galaxy.
At the end, Barkley wonders if he himself is part of a simulation and says "Computer, end program".

Exactly. Should've been, "Computer, JLo's ass in my face." if Reg had any creativity. Even his "perverted" simulations lacked any stinky body parts.
should've been locked up in the brig for 12months, demoted to lowest rank and then kicked out of starfleet (or whatever its called) to spend the rest of his life doing some sort of janitorial work...
A conniving character from Sherlock Holmes takes control of a holodeck fantasy and traps the senior staff inside of it.
While enjoying a Sherlock Holmes mystery fantasy on the holodeck, Geordi and Data request that Barclay investigate some anomalies in the program. While doing so, Professor Moriarty appears and informs Barclay that the computer system has created him so well in the fantasy that he has come alive! According to Moriarty, Picard has held him hostage in the fantasy for over four years.
Since the holodeck routinely causes that kind of severe trouble for the crew, you'd think they'd stop using the damn thing. It's like, if every other week my toaster tried to kill me, I'd eventually get rid of it.

You'd think they'd stop having families on board after the 3rd time in a month the ship was almost destroyed, and fired the asshole in Starfleet who designed the ship that way.
No, silly. That's passe. People will be sshnuke'ing the whole internet looking for backdoors (and wearing tight leather). That's the current hip thing.
If it were up to me, Star Trek XI will be about Moriarty escaping the simulation. It has the makings of "The Wrath of Moriarty."
The back story is that he figures out fairly quickly that he was tricked because the holo-matrix isn't perfect enough. So he has all this time to plot his escape.
That escape would have something to do with Barkley checking up on him. Moriarty would have a trigger that would trap Barkley. Eventually, Moriarty would find out about Voyager's Doctor's mobile emitter.
Ok, that's

Since the ( holodeck | smoking | crack cocane | females | etc. ) causes that kind of severe trouble... you'd think they'd stop using the damn thing.
