[edit] Plot summary
During an episode of The Adventures of Captain Proton on the holodeck (a recurring Voyager homage to movie serial adventures), Tom Paris and Harry Kim are forced to leave the programme running when spatial distortions trap the ship and disrupt their control over the computer. While the command staff of Voyager seek to discover a way to free the ship from the spatial distortions, extra-dimensional aliens who exist in a photonic state cross over from their own dimension through a distortion located in the holodeck. There, they are detected and attacked by Chaotica, who believes them to be from the fifth dimension, and whose holographic (photonic) weaponry - though harmless to humans - is deadly to the aliens. Eventually, the crew discover the war being waged between Chaotica and the Fifth Dimension and must defeat him by playing out their roles as the fictional Captain Proton (played by Tom Paris), his sidekick Buster Kincaid (Harry Kim), and Arachnia, Queen of the Spider People. Captain Janeway allows Paris to convince her to take on the latter role.
[edit] Trivia
Chaotica is reminiscent of many movie serial villains, though most resembles Ming the Merciless from the Flash Gordon series and 1980 film. The final attack on Chaotica's fortress is also reminiscent of the film's finale - particularly the race to deactivate the protective 'Lightning Field'.
