It is quite the stretch that the Doctor could or would use his Voyager crewmates as the face of the oppressors in his holo novel. These people are crew mates, friends and dare I say family. You don't against the family. For someone who is concerned about his own feelings and how others treat him this smells of hypocrisy. How human of him?
I will admit that I loved the camp of the over the top holodeck novel situations. Chakotay as a bajoran ruffian was particularly amusing.
The Doctor is one of my favorite characters and I am almost always on his side but his actions in this episode just did not sit well with me. You have to give it to the Voyager crew ---- even after having been smeared they fight hard to help the doctor gain individuality under the law. Turn the other cheek indeed.
The measure of a man tribute band didn't work with the holodeck premise for me ---- lack of time and lack of convincing arguments against him. It would hilarious that a campy holo novel being released by greasy publisher would ultimately lead to the liberation of all alpha quadrant synthetics.
