Bride Of Chaotica!
"Bride of Chaotica!" is the 106th episode of the American science fiction television series '' Star Trek: Voyager'' airing on the UPN network, the 12th episode of the fifth season. The episode originally aired on January 27, 1999. The episode largely takes place on the holodeck, which is running a holo-program in black and white instead of the usual color. This was because of a small fire to the Bridge set that had occurred while the episode was in production; as a result the Bridge scenes were shot weeks later after the set was repaired and scenes that were originally set for the Bridge were either entirely rewritten or set on a different part of the ship. The episode satirizes numerous elements of the classic 1936 film serial ''Flash Gordon'' and classic 1939 film serial ''Buck Rogers''. In this episode, ''Voyager'' becomes stuck in a interdimensional rift as photonic beings from another dimension attempt first contact in the holodeck, meeting the photonic villains of Ensign P ...

Writers often use it as a way to pose ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
