Hey, guys. Just because it's Star Trek doesn't mean it can't be goofy. 90's Trek certainly had its share of silly moments in the holodeck.
The difference is that those episodes always had a side-story that brought us back to the sci-fi. While all the actors clearly had a good time playing alternate roles for this episode, I found myself mostly waiting for the silliness to be over so we could get back to the show about space ships.
But, gosh-darnit, they really tugged on my heart strings at the end.
Even then, I found the doctor's choice a little too quick, easy, and unlikely... but I was happy to see his story move forward.
Thanks for taking creative risks, Paramount. I remain a huge fan of this show.
