One thing is for certain in star trek ----- The holodeck is like driving a car before seatbelts and airbags ---- There is a strong possibility of facing a life threatening situation at any moment.
Star Trek has had some masterful holodeck episodes and this episode opened to the door to give the writers a creative outlet to tell interesting stories. This episode doesn't leave much impact ---- Nothing to be gained by looking at the story itself so we are left with admiring the performances throughout the episode. I enjoyed the 1940's atmosphere.
The shining star of this episode is Dr. Beverly Crusher looking absolutely stunning. We also got a great sexual tension scene between Beverly and Picard talking about going back to the office to make out but that was sadly derailed by the 3rd wheel of 'pop culture expert' and Data tagging along.
It seems to be a common thread of season 1 episodes laying ground work for better constructed and executed episodes further in the series. Call it a world building episode perhaps?
I'll give it a 7 for Beverly Crusher being absolutely smoking hot as a 1940's glamor movie star.
