So I guess if you make a program about an Irish village of course they are going to get superstitious and decide that the crew are evil witches or something. Also, if you want to make tension on the holodeck by having the safeties turned off, maybe don't have a gun on the holodeck be the thing that turns the safeties off. Because you see, while the safeties are on you shouldn't be able to damage a non-holographic wall panel with a holographic gun, but apparently that is how it works now. This is a pretty bland holodeck gone wrong episode and that's really all there is to say.
We open with Tom crashing a car on Fair Haven and then fixing it with a command to the holodeck but for some reason some of the characters notice. The villagers start freaking out that the crew of Voyager are actually the titular spirit folk and start following the crew around. Paris pranks Harry by turning his date into a cow which certainly looks bad so the townsfolk gather in the church to discuss the matter. Pretty much all of the crew are known since they tend to not worry about holocharacters watching them. They storm the bar with guns and find Harry and Tom working on an access panel and end up shooting he panel which deactivates the safeties and allows them to be taken hostage. They send the Doctor in but he is captured too and apparently can be hypnotized which lets them get information from him. Sullivan, Janeway's boyfriend, volunteers to go to this Voyager and does with the mobile emitter. Janeway realizes she has to give him the truth which he accepts and then talks the towns people into accepting. They all make up the end.
Review: The only tension they could find in this episode was pretty badly manufactured and didn't really work for me.
