Repression - S7-E4
Other mistake: In the 3D cinema scenes in the Holodeck, Tom Paris and B'Elanna Torres can be seen using blue/cyan anaglyph glasses and the movie screen can be seen to be in blue/cyan also. This is fine and to be expected. However the shot in which the projection room can be seen behind the couple show the projection is through magenta/green filters. (00:03:30)
Other mistake: On the planet, as the camera looks at the Harojan from behind, the zipper for his costume is visible.
Answer: The bio-chambers could be opened from the inside and exited if needed. The induced stasis was not intended as a deep sleep or long-term, but only temporary to protect the crew while traveling through hostile space conditions. External circumstances could awaken crew members. Tom was claustrophobic and highly nervous about undergoing stasis. His anxiety may have prevented a deeper sleep. Tom was essentially sleepwalking and had no memory of leaving the bio-chamber.
