These violent delights have violent ends

I love to think that you'd need command override to turn off the Holodeck safety.

"Ensign Barclay is not in the sudoers file."

It’s still baffling to me why there is even an unsafe mode in the first place. What could that possibly be used for?

On a related note: why is the holodeck door so hard to open when the computer is on the fritz/taken over? Surely this isn’t such a high security room that they couldn’t just leave the door with a manual latch?
- Useful for killing borg with a Tommy gun
- One potential use would be for surgeries, like if your real person doctor was incompacitated or had to poop or something, just send the patients over to the holodeck when Barclay isn't visiting his harem or Worf isn't fighting against opponents that must be set to very easy considering how well he does when facing actual enemies (unless they are Klingon).
  
  When you think of it, holograms would make great doctors. No shaky hands, if they need help they can just spawn more doctors or even copies of themselves that could act as if they have one mind. No captain falling in love with them (assuming Barclay doesn't get promoted to captain) or them falling in love with crew members. No drama or complaints about being overworked or anything like that. Sure, you could program a holographic doctor to do any of that, but why would anyone want to?
- My guess is it is for better simulations.
  
  I would think the safety protocols would make for an unrealistic simulation. Maybe changing gravity if someone fell of slowing down objects like a bullet to a gun. Or changing a knife somehow so it isn't deadly. They never really explained it as far as I can tell.
  
  But probably doesn't matter most if the time.
- Was it not remarked in TNG that they sometimes have it turned off in simulations?
  
  Regardless, IMO only the captain and maybe some other senior staff should be able to do it, IMO.
- Probably for unforeseen situations. Remember you can make whatever you want, it's probably possible to create a program that abuses the safety protocols to create a trap or something.
"This incident will be reported."
I think any officer is likely able to override holodeck safeties. The enlisted probably no (though we barely see any). The civilians and guests on the ship shouldn't for sure.

Unexpected Shakespeare. Nice.

And yummy.

I'm guessing it's a Westworld reference as this Shakespeare quote is used throughout the first season.
- ‘These violent delights have violent ends‘ is a quote from Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet, spoken by Friar Lawrence in a conversation with Romeo in act 2, scene 6.

  I feel like a bot with this response.
- Ahh, got it. Never got very deep into Westworld.
- Actually it's both!
  
  When I was trying to think up a suitable title, Billy Shakes was the first thing that came to mind as I am a fan of the Bard. Then I remembered its use in 'Westworld' and that cemented my decision as it seemed appropriate, given the content of the image.
