Does the crew know everything they do is being filmed?


If you saw the series finale you see Riker going into the holodeck on the Enterprise D in the 24th century and he calls up a program showing the NX Enterprise on its final mission and somehow everything on the ship apparently was filmed cause it seemed like Riker could listen in on anybody's conversations. He even sits in for "Chef" and gets first-hand comments from all the crew. He tells them they don't have to worry cause he keeps secrets. Perhaps but apparently Starfleet doesn't cause they go and put it in their holodeck library of programs? Snowden had it right, in the future everyone will be monitored at all times. Shades of the NSA.

And how did they get shots of the crew sitting in their rotten nose-bleed seats watching Archer giving his speech before the conference? They must have cameras everywhere, assuming this is an historical accurate representation what was really happening and not just something the computer speculates on and generates.

They can pull up closed circuit security footage of any area of the ship and watch it anywhere they need to, including Dr. Phlox's office.

Who says that that footage isn't saved to a server at Starfleet Command and cab be accessed over 100 years later to create a holodeck program.

Star Trek has always done this. TOS, Search for Spock, TNG--it happens all the time.

SFS showed only limited angles & shots.

It's a Holodeck program...I never took it as being the actual events as they happened filmed and presented for anybody with proper holodeck access to see. I took it as a computer recreation of events based on ship logs and historical documentation.

I took it that way too. Stats & approximations.
