YMMV / Star Trek Voyager S 2 E 3 "Projections"

• Spiritual Successor: While the writers haven't listed it as a direct influence, it's hard to watch this episode without being strongly reminded of Total Recall. In both, a man tries to convince another man that he's trapped in a deadly simulation and must do something self-destructive within the simulation to escape it. A beautiful blond woman then appears claiming to be the man's wife in real life and begs the man to return to her.
