Star Trek: Possible AvPD?
Hey everyone, I'm working through Star Trek: The Next Generation and just came across this episode.
Basically, a low level member of the crew is very reclusive and has significant trouble performing his duties, partially due to shyness/insecurity and partially due to spending a lot of time, well, avoiding reality in the holodeck.
It resonated a lot with me and I was curious to see what others take on it is. Especially as it relates to AvPD.

Lol yeah I rewatched this episode a few weeks ago and had the same thought. It's probably the closest representation I've seen to date, although it isn't 100% perfect. A few shots or him hiding in his quarters zoning out, berating himself for past behaviour or depressed and not sleeping or whatever would have helped to show what his inner life is like but that wouldn't have fit the tone of the show I guess.
