didn't the Danger Room do the same? I thought it mutated into an entity that was out to kill the x-kids for a while. I stopped reading Whedon's run, but I think it was in there.

But the Danger Room is dangerous by design. It's a combat simlulator that includes what gets called "less than lethal" weaponry these days. The Holodeck isn't supposed to be. The Holodeck is the equivalent of a home theatre system that regularly and without warning falls over on the viewers and proceeds to deliver a potentially fatal shock.\

Heh, how's that for a geek argument?
