+     |thoughts = [[Jonathan Frakes|Mr. Frakes]] is back! The whole episode was OK, but the teaser was over-the-top fun exaggerated TOS-ness, down to the crazy close-up lighting.
+Needing high resolution data they only had access to from transporter logs was a good excuse to fill the holodeck with familiar faces. Did La'an assign all the roles? Because they were all senior officers or James Kirk.
+The holodeck a century before TNG is sure to rankle some, but this is something Star Trek has been consistently inconsistent about. They even reference the "recreation room" naming used in [[Star Trek: The Animated Series|TAS]], which would only be several years later.
+Beyond that, as a holodeck story... it still feels a bit rerun. We've seen people use the holodeck to pretend they're fictional detectives, multiple times. We've seen them ask for something that will challenge them and running into problems. We've seen people stuck in simulations until they manage to finish, with the ship at risk. But getting down to the nitty-gritty specifics, it was a fine _version_ of those things. The regular actors were entertaining in their retro Hollywood roles, Scotty trying to handle the issues on the outside without having fully integrated into the Enterprise way of doing things... all fine.
+So, Spock and La'an. Boy, how many crewmates is he going to partner with by the time the show is finished?}}
