      The picture is from Voyager. The quote is from Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.

        Voyager clearly got pretty crazy after I stopped watching! I’ll have to watch it one day.

          It surely gets “zanier” over time as they give up, but this is also holodeckery’ at its finest.

          The context is this is a holographic character from a (in-universe fictional) holoprogram for children.

              I forget the precise context, but I’m guessing the water guy (who someone else posted a picture of in the comments) helps put him out. A lesson about friendship or some shit.
